Episode 19 - You Are Not a Fool to Believe in God Part 1: The Historical Jesus

Episode 20 - You Are Not a Fool To Believe in God- Part : Creation = Creator

In this episode of The Appalachian Disciples, we continue our conversation exploring the evidence for Christianity by looking at creation and how the world around us points to a Creator. We talk about the order, beauty, complexity, and design found in creation and ask important questions: Did everything come from nothing? Does the natural world reveal evidence of purpose? And what does creation tell us about the God who made it? Together, we reflect on how creation is not random or meaningless, but a powerful testimony that points us back to the Creator. This conversation reminds us that faith in Jesus Christ is not blind, irrational, or foolish. It is grounded in truth, supported by evidence, and rooted in the God who created all things.

Episode 19 - You Are Not a Fool to Believe in God Part 1: The Historical Jesus

In this episode of The Appalachian Disciples, we begin a brand-new series exploring the evidence for Christianity and why faith in Jesus Christ is not blind, irrational, or foolish. We talk about: Was Jesus a real person? Can the Bible be trusted historically? And are there sources outside the Bible that confirm Jesus existed? We dig into ancient historical accounts, early Christian testimony, and the reliability of the Gospel records to show that Christianity is rooted in real events, real places, and a real risen Savior. This conversation is about examining the evidence and understanding that following Christ is grounded in truth.

Episode 18 - Worship Because He Lives

In this episode of The Appalachian Disciples, we talk about how worship is not just singing a song but rather an act of surrender. It’s easy to sing songs every Sunday without really thinking about what we’re singing. But when we truly understand what Jesus saved us from, worship stops being routine and becomes a response.

Episode 17 - Faith Was Never Meant to Be Lived Alone

In this episode of The Appalachian Disciples, we explore why gathering together with other believers is not optional; it’s essential! In a culture that celebrates independence and self-sufficiency, Scripture paints a very different picture. From Genesis to the early church, the Bible shows us that faith was never meant to be lived alone. God designed us for relationships. Isolation weakens faith; community strengthens it.

Episode 16 - Letting Go of Religion to Hold onto Jesus: A Coal Miner's Journey with Christ

In this episode of The Appalachian Disciples, we sit down with a coal miner whose journey of faith took him from a law-based religious background to a personal, life-giving relationship with Jesus Christ. He shares honestly about what it meant to move from “doing religion” to truly knowing Christ for himself. Along the way, God didn’t just change his faith, but restored relationships and reshaped how he shows up as a husband, a worker, and a man of God. This is a testimony of grace, freedom, and a faith that runs deeper than the coal seams of Appalachia.
