Interviews featuring experts and professionals to guide us through regions, grapes and challenges of vine growing, my own research and much more.

The apostle Paul and the early Christians took incredible risks to share the gospel. They faced wild beasts, angry mobs, prison, and even torture. So, what gave them the courage to do that? They weren’t afraid of death—they saw it as an upgrade. With that same mindset, we should live each day as if eternity starts tomorrow.…

The most important message is the Good News of Jesus! That Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and was raised from the dead on the third day!

Ever feel like running away from what God asks of you? This is exactly what happened to Jonah, who ran from God’s call. In Jonah’s story, we explore why we resist His plans, the cost of disobedience, and how God uses storms in our lives to wake us up. The good news is that God offers second chances despite our running, and our obedience leads to tr…

If we look at 1 Corinthians 14, should we read this scripture literally? Is it a universal command to all churches for all times, or was Paul addressing a specific situation with the Corinthians church that leaves an enduring principle for us? As we look at the entire bible and this specific scripture, we can see that it communicates an enduring pr…

If Jesus were living in America today, would He even vote? The answer is emphatically “yes.” Although Jesus wasn’t born into a constitutional republic like the one we live in and doesn’t have a voting record, we do have His Word, in which He reveals His values, standards, priorities, and desires. We can look at what God says, look at what He did, a…

There is a myth that you get all the Holy Spirit you could ever want or need when you are saved, but that’s not true. You can receive more of the Holy Spirit by being baptized in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. When you speak in tongues, you are personally strengthened, and it’s the reason we all should want all of the Holy Spirit we can g…

What did you think of this episode? Redneck. Hillbilly. White Trash. These are some of the class-based words used to describe people of Appalachia.

Included is an excerpted interview from 1974 with coal m…

If you were asked if you consider yourself a loving person, what would you say? Many of us would say we are loving, but the world we live in today promotes a warped and twisted view of love that does not line up with what God says love is. Love is not strong affection, sexual attraction, or blind affirmation. Love isn’t either what we say it is but…

God uses all of us together to make up a healthy and effective body. Yet, so often, in the body of Christ, just like in every relationship you’ve ever had, you struggle to value those who are gifted differently than you. It’s not because you are a particularly bad person but because you are human. This is what happened at the church in Corinth and …

As we prepare to explore the Gifts of the Spirit, it is important to do foundation work on who the gift giver is. So, who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is not wind, but he’s like the wind.

1 Corinthians 11 discusses head coverings and headship, which can be confusing for many people.

What if God is not as opposed to obscurity as we are? What if obscurity isn’t as bad as we think it is? Many of us want to escape obscurity, while God might desire to use it to do something in us. We might be trying to sprint from the pastures to the palace, and we’re running from the place God wants to use to do work in our hearts. God is a God wh…

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the noise of the world drifting away from God’s truth?

We are living in the age of perpetual offense, where we’re quick to judge, quick to criticize, quick to condemn, and quick to cancel anyone who offends us. We see this in politics, music, news, and social media through cynicism, complaining, disrespect, backbiting, tearing down, and cancel culture. Division is everywhere. People are going off on ea…

What did you think of this episode? Those of us who grew up in a "holler" know that they can be deep, dark valleys or winding roads between hills.

What did you think of this episode? We know modern Appalachia isn't isolated, so why do people keep using that word to describe a region that includes 13 states and 25 million people? This episode is a commentary on the origins of isolation (the word and the concept), how that perception became grounded over the years, why it couldn't be more untru…

How many of us ask God for special treatment? When we hold on to assumptions on how God should be healing us we might be rejecting solutions because we don't like that it's not be the easy way to do something. If we're obedient to God, and begin to humble ourselves, and listen to the Holy Spirit, we open the door to the miraculous work of God. Lean…

When you have an anointing from God, there will be side effects. It may not be what you expect, but the anointing will enable and empower you to do things that would not be possible without God’s help or strength. We see this when David was anointed as the future King of Israel. When David was first anointed, he didn’t immediately become King. Stil…

What did you think of this episode? Early authors used "eye dialect," or a deliberate misspelling of words that doesn't change how they sound (like "tu" for "to" or "uv" for "of.") This literary practice, based on the authors' observations of what they heard people say, was to make their Appalachian characters seem foolish or uneducated. This use o…

Marriage is a sacrificial and mutually beneficial commitment between one man and one woman for one lifetime. That is how God intended it. But for many, when marriage isn’t what it’s supposed to be, they are quick to quit and stop doing what they promised to do. This is not what God intended for marriage. Although there can be possible justification…

Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Yet a few days later, He was murdered by the Jews, crucified by the Romans, and killed because of us.
