Episode 78 - Faith, Fishing, and Finding Freedom: Andrew Green on Sobriety and the Outdoors

From the chaos of addiction to peace on the water—Andrew Greene’s story shows how faith and fishing can save a life. In this powerful episode of Country Outdoors, host Mary O’Neill Phillips sits down with Andrew Greene, Field & Stream’s Andrew Green Fishing host, for an unfiltered conversation about sobriety, redemption, and rediscovering purpose through the outdoors. Andrew grew up in Tennessee dreaming of life on the water, flipping through Field & Stream magazines and chasing bass long before social media glamorized it. But his story took dark turns—addiction, failure, and loss of direction—before faith and fishing brought him back to life. He opens up about the moment that changed everything, the community that helped him stay sober, and how time on the water became both therapy and testimony. Listeners will hear a raw look at addiction recovery through outdoor purpose, learn how daily discipline and prayer built his foundation for long-term sobriety, and gain insight into how Field & Stream’s rebirth is inspiring a new generation of outdoorsmen. Whether you’ve battled your own demons or just need a reminder of why time outside heals, this one’s for you.
