What does it look like when your entire life pivots on a single unexpected wilderness moment? In this episode, we head deep into the heart of Alaska with Luke Schmidt, CTO’s first outfitter in the Last Frontier, and his wife Danae. Their story is not just about hunting grizzlies or launching CTO’s first Alaska summer camp. It is about calling, grit, and how God uses the wilderness to shape men for something bigger. Luke opens up about the path that brought him north, the kids who changed his life, and the moments around the fire that matter more than any trophy. Danae brings a quiet but powerful perspective on what it means to support a mission from behind the scenes. This is one of our rawest conversations yet. It is not just about ministry. It is about becoming who you are made to be.
