Episode Synopsis

Timber Cleghorn on Alone: How Extreme Isolation Led to Spiritual RenewalSurvivalist and international aid worker Timber Cleghorn spent three months alone in the Arctic while competing on the History Channel’s reality show Alone. He had to contend with below-freezing temperatures and near-constant darkness, but in that solitude, he was also able to reconnect with nature and with God. In this episode, Timber shares how isolation drew him closer to God, taught him the power of vulnerability, and revealed a deeper purpose beyond Alone's $1 million prize.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro2:44 Timber’s experience on a survivalist reality show6:43 What Timber learned in the wilderness about God and himself15:57 Creating solitude: Practices for blocking out distractions and making time for God21:00 What suffering taught Timber about the character of God26:20 The biggest challenges Timber faced on Alone32:33 When we have to make peace with falling short40:34 Prayer requests for Timber, his family, and their international aid workVisit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets, show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.
