Pure & Simple: A Camp Deer Run Podcast

We're excited to welcome Summer Staff member Roselyn Spencer to the podcast for this encouraging episode about Joy and it's one true source!

Today's pure & simple truth is that we all can abide with God. What does that mean, and how does it look in our daily lives? Find out as Ty is joined by Summer Staff member Logan Clapp for a great conversation about submitting to God, spending time alone with Him, and living in community with His people!

Join Director Ty Ford and 2025/2026 Program Director Baylor Cain about the pure & simple truth that we have the power to decide our attitude - and that our attitude has the power to change everything. Stick around after the lesson for an interview with Summer Staff member Ren Pollard to hear her thoughts on choosing joy!

This week's Pure & Simple truth: God is our Father! God made you and loves you the way a father loves their own child. That truth changes everything about the way we think about ourselves and others!

In this week's episode, Ty and Baylor discuss the pure and simple truth that God is Accessible to Us through Jesus. Sometimes we neglect what an enormous privilege and blessing it is to be able to approach God as children going to their father. That hasn't always been the case! Through Jesus, the veil between us and God has been torn in two, and by His sacrifice, we may draw near to God. 

Summer Staff member Lewis Irwin joins Ty to discuss today's pure & simple truth: You are defined by the love of God! In this episode, we discuss the 2025 summer theme, beloved, and how that affects our identity.

Ty sits down with special guest Baylor Cain to talk about the how we can flee from the desires of the world and have an appetite for the Lord!

We are all made in the image of God, and as God is Holy, we also should be Holy! This week's Pure and Simple truth: God Has Called Us to a Holy Life. Enjoy!

This week's Pure & Simple truth is that God is Creative! And one of the most exciting parts of that truth is that YOU are a product of His creativity. Join us for another encouraging episode of the Pure & Simple podcast.

No matter what we've done or where we are, we can always remember what God has done! This week's Pure & Simple truth is: "I Can Remember What God Has Done." Enjoy!

It's a truth that isn't very fun to think about, but a truth nonetheless. Life is filled with disappointments - some big, some small. Luckily, as Christians, we can face these disappointments with hope and joy in Christ!

We're kicking off our new podcast, Pure & Simple, with a short lesson about a simple truth - God is Faithful.
