She Was in the Room When Both My Parents Died
from The Michael James Way · host Michael James
After 30 years of watching the James family from the front pew, Cora Varvell sits down with Michael for a conversation neither of them fully expected. She saw the man his father was at church, and heard from Michael's mother what he was at home.In this episode: the childhood that made Michael call church "a fraud," the cross-country bike ride that broke him open, the father who became his biggest fan through care packages mailed to small-town post offices, and the revelation Michael learns on air: that Cora was at the bedside, singing hymns, the night his dad slipped away. A story about what it costs to carry hurt, and what it takes to put it down.Follow Cora Varvell and her husband C.L. on their YouTube channel,From the Holler to the World: @FromtheHollertotheWorldNew episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 PM.
