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

from The Appalachian Disciples · host Theappalachiandisciples

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.
