Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

Groundwork: Farm Parables and the Cultivation of Faith by Rebecca Collison 1:03:50

1:03:50

Has your faith lost its vibrancy? Does your spiritual life feel dry? Does church seem like just something you do rather than who you are? Are you ready for the new growth God has planned for this season of your life? In her follow-up to Preparing Fields for Seasons of Change, author Rebecca Collison shifts focus from small rural churches to personal faith development, drawing on the Apostle Paul's call to be "God's field." Using Jesus' agricultural parables as a foundation, Groundwork offers a fresh perspective on living out our faith. By tending to the soil of our soul, we can cultivate vibrant spirituality and transformative discipleship. With a return to the land from which humanity was created, these farming narratives provide an organic approach to deepening our roots in Christ. The parables are paired with contemporary social issues, which act as essential elements for bearing fruit in God's kingdom. Each chapter concludes with an invitation to explore spiritual practices, offering opportunities for individual or small group reflection on the parables for further study and contemplation.…

From Blunder To Blessing By Jan D Thomas 1:32:01

35 weeks ago1:32:01

1:32:01

Born at the edge of an open-pit copper mine in New Mexico, Jan Thomas comes from a background of working-class people, cultural Christians, but not committed believers. Growing up, he had influences and experiences causing doubts about himself and his ability to become more than his environment would have predicted. Influenced by teachers, Air Force buddies, and others, he began to trust God to do in him what he could not do for himself. As a youngster he thought he had no academic ability, but got BA and MDiv degrees. As a pastor he felt like a failure and began a career working in prisons. Struggling with life, he continued to try to serve. He married Fern, a widow with two children, and they had another child together. He became an administrator after only a few years; but his codependent nature, the desire to fit in, and to be liked at any cost nearly cost him his life. An old alcohol issue came back, at a time he was involved in two of the most amazing ministries of the twenty-first century, Celebrate Recovery and Kairos. Retiring in 1997, he began using CR in the prison he retired from. He was asked to help get the program into jails and prisons and became the first national director of Celebrate Recovery Inside. Celebrate Recovery Inside stretches across the United States and Canada as well as in many nations elsewhere. His own struggles have helped him become dedicated to the purpose God intended for him from the beginning. His ministry was not as a pastor but to those, like him, who struggled with life's issues. When he stopped teaching and started the healing process for himself, God helped him to stop blundering and begin to see more of God's blessing.…

"Jacob, we've had a miserable existence the last three years, but I don't know if I can trust you. You left me once; why wouldn't you do it you?"
