Andy Neal: From Sermons to Summits

Andy Neal is a content creator, speaker, and storyteller based in Oregon, known online as @andyfilmsandhikes. Through honest and often humorous storytelling, Andy has built a cross-platform audience of more than 500,000 followers and subscribers who connect with his candid conversations about mental health, faith, family, foster and adoptive parenting, identity, grief, and rebuilding life after loss.

Andy first gained widespread attention with his viral “stupid hike for my stupid mental health” videos. These raw and relatable reflections resonated with millions of people navigating their own struggles. What began as simple hikes and honest conversations has grown into something deeper. His work invites people into conversations about faith, survival, deconstruction, healing, and how to keep going when life does not turn out the way they planned.

A former pastor, foster and adoptive parent, and public advocate, Andy brings a rare combination of grit, heart, humor, and hard-won wisdom to the stage. His story spans faith and disillusionment, parenting through trauma, public advocacy, and the long process of finding hope after loss. Whether online or in person, Andy is known for creating spaces where people feel seen, challenged, and a little less alone.

Join Andy Neal live at Harken Hall on April 18 at 7 p.m. for an evening of storytelling, humor, honesty, and meaningful conversation about what it takes to rebuild a life when everything falls apart. The evening will also feature an opening performance to kick off the night, as well as a special meet and greet opportunity with Andy following the event.

Guests are also invited to continue the experience with Andy on Sunday morning for a group hike—a chance to connect in the spirit of the “stupid hike for my stupid mental health” series that first brought his message to millions.
