Episode 70: From Pews to Pines: God in the Wild w/ Pete Nunnally

In this episode of Spirit Outspoken, we sit down with Pete Nunnally, Episcopal priest and author of Catching Hope: The Hidden Spiritual Wisdom of Fishing, to explore what it means to encounter God beyond the walls of the church.

Pete shares about his “wilderness church”  a sacred gathering in nature where worship happens under open skies instead of stained glass. Together, we discuss how God’s presence is revealed in rivers, forests, and wild spaces..

We also explore:

• How fishing became a spiritual teacher
• The future of the church in a shifting cultural landscape
• How we can expand our understanding of traditional church doctrine without abandoning it.

If you’ve ever felt closer to God hiking a trail than sitting in a pew, this conversation will resonate deeply.

This episode invites us to rethink what church can look like, how faith evolves, and how spiritual wisdom is woven into the natural world.
