Using a Netflix Survival Series, God Spread the Gospel

Joseph Marlborough never set out to become a television personality. He was a small-town mechanic from Louisiana, more accustomed to fixing engines than navigating camera crews. Yet, when Netflix’s Outlast invited him to test his survival skills in the wilds of Alaska, Joseph stepped into an arena that would not only challenge his endurance—but also amplify his faith to millions worldwide.

The concept was simple: endure harsh wilderness conditions, outlast your competitors, and claim the prize. But for Joseph, the real victory wasn’t about the money or fame. It was about standing firm in his convictions, living out his Christianity, and showing grace in a world that often celebrates vengeance.

From the moment he appeared on screen, viewers noticed something different about him. His jacket carried hand-stitched Bible verses. His campfire conversations often turned to prayer. And in moments of tension, when alliances frayed and tempers rose, Joseph chose the path of forgiveness.

One of the show’s most talked-about scenes wasn’t a daring wilderness feat—it was the moment Joseph extended grace to someone who had wronged him. It was raw, unfiltered Christianity lived out in front of a global audience.

“Anyone can survive in the wilderness,” Joseph later reflected, “but only God can teach you how to survive with your soul intact.” His words resonated beyond the screen, sparking conversations online and drawing messages from viewers across continents. Some wrote to say they had been inspired to forgive someone after years of bitterness. Others shared that seeing Joseph pray on national television rekindled their own faith.

The wilderness became a pulpit, and the challenges of the show became metaphors for the trials of life. The freezing nights mirrored spiritual loneliness. The scarcity of food paralleled seasons of waiting on God’s provision. And the unpredictable conflicts among contestants reflected the daily tests of patience and grace. Through it all, Joseph held to Psalm 23:4—“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”

After the season aired, Joseph’s life took an unexpected turn. Interviews, speaking invitations, and social media messages poured in. But instead of chasing celebrity status, he used the platform to share the gospel. “God didn’t put me on that show so I could be famous for surviving,” he said. “He put me there so I could be famous for worshiping Him.”

The ripple effect has been undeniable. From living rooms in small-town America to remote villages across the globe, Joseph’s testimony has reached people who may never have set foot in a church. His journey reminds us that God’s methods are often unconventional—that He can use a survival reality series just as powerfully as a Sunday sermon to plant seeds of faith.

In the end, Joseph Marlborough’s time on Outlast wasn’t about enduring the wilderness for a prize. It was about showing the world that even in the harshest conditions, faith not only survives—it thrives.
