    Embark on an inspiring journey with Shaun Garrison, a dynamic adventurer and musician from Denver, whose life weaves together the threads of outdoor exploration, faith, and family. Shaun opens up about his love affair with nature that blossomed during his youth and eventually led him to Colorado. His path took an unexpected turn from seminary to a remarkable fusion of faith and the great outdoors. As a devoted father of six, Shaun shares the transformative power of family adventures in cultivating deep connections with each child, illustrating how the magnificent tapestry of nature reflects his spiritual devotion.

    Unpack the profound concept of being "windswept" by the Holy Spirit with Shaun as he encourages setting intentional time aside for personal adventures with children. Learn how simple, yet profound activities like hiking or camping can forge unforgettable memories and strengthen familial bonds. Drawing on insights from thinkers like G.K. Chesterton, Shaun emphasizes the importance of embracing life's surprises and maintaining presence in each moment to create a sense of wonder and connectivity in our bustling everyday lives.

    Explore the role of intentional fatherhood and adventure planning in fortifying spiritual defenses within the family. Shaun recounts personal stories of rites of passage and the essential role of prayer to protect and nurture familial ties. He passionately discusses the importance of spiritual leadership and the subtle yet significant impacts of shared outdoor experiences. Finally, Shaun’s musical talents bring an additional layer to the discussion, harmonizing the themes of growth, faith, and connection through the universal language of music, leaving listeners with a resonant sense of peace and encouragement.
