Join us as we discuss the contentious issues that thrive and drive the church in Appalachia

This experiment has created a space where these issues can be openly shared without fear of retribution.

The Appalachian Mountains are home to a vastly diverse people. Hillbillies and homesteaders, bootleggers and Baptists, but when it comes to ecclesiastical matters, churches look eerily similar. Resistance to these cultural preferences is not recommended for your safety. But why are these trappings held in high regard? Is there a better way to worship Jesus in these mountains that we're missing? Or are the old ways really better?

Listener Reviews

There might be a lot of church bros with a $20 microphone and a mac that think they have a groundbreaking podcast, but they'll never be as genuine or gentle as Colton and Randy

Jiara Martins

I'm a pastor in the south and I'm always afraid to speak about the topics featured on this podcast. Randy and Colton make me feel like I'm not alone

Jonathan Darcy

Best 30 minutes of my morning. Even if the banter is kind of long and silly. when they get to serious stuff, it's really heavy.
