Cigarette Mom Podcast with Sarah Beth Terry

Porch Report from Sarah Beth Terry | August 31, 2026

arah Beth Terry planned to sleep in. Her neighbor—and his 8 a.m. lawnmower—had other ideas.

What begins as an emergency meeting of the porch people becomes a gloriously unfiltered Friday-morning episode about aggravating neighbors, wet grass, prayer, patience, and handing your vengeance over to the Lord before breakfast.

Sarah Beth also opens the Porch Paper for national, international, West Virginia, and Kentucky headlines; celebrates a huge day for country, bluegrass, and Americana releases; returns to the Dolly desk; shares odd facts and a little porch scripture; and catches up with viewers from across the country and around the world.

The conversation wanders through faith, gardening, chickens, touring, the next album, Dolly memories, discerning God’s voice, and the grassroots community making the porch feel like home.

Contains adult language—and one extremely persistent lawnmower.

How do you forgive someone who refuses to apologize, accept responsibility, or even admit they hurt you?

In this episode of the Feral Christian Podcast, Sarah Beth Terry explores what biblical forgiveness really means—and what it doesn’t. Forgiveness does not require pretending the pain never happened, immediately restoring trust, or giving someone unlimited access to your life.

We’re talking about releasing the debt, establishing healthy boundaries, protecting your peace, and refusing to remain imprisoned by someone else’s lack of repentance. Bring your Bible, your questions, and your church hurt. Perfect people need not apply.

Sarah Beth Terry takes the Cigarette Mom Podcast live to the porch for a rapid-fire roundup of the news—from Dolly Parton tributes and the Kentucky State Fair cake controversy to Meta’s massive settlement, Flock surveillance cameras, Appalachian sheep-wool insulation, and trouble overseas.

Along the way, Sarah Beth battles Planet Fitness, questions how public money gets spent, checks the weather, and reminds us that forgiveness doesn’t always mean giving someone access to your life. Pour something in a cup, pull up a chair, and keep your Bible open.

On tonight’s porch, Sarah Beth Terry remembers Dolly Parton—the songwriter, mountain woman, philanthropist, businesswoman, and larger-than-life light who never made herself smaller to fit the room.

Sarah Beth reflects on Dolly’s East Tennessee beginnings, extraordinary songs, Imagination Library, devotion to home, and the permission she gave generations of women to be country, ambitious, funny, faithful, feminine, and fully themselves.

The episode also brings the day’s national, international, West Virginia, and Kentucky headlines; remembers Tim Curry; checks in on late-summer porch life and molting chickens; and serves up trivia, peculiar facts, and an Appalachian vocabulary lesson.

It’s an episode about grief, laughter, rhinestones, mountain pride, and carrying the voices we love forward.

“We will always love you.”
