Meet Me for Coffee

On this episode of Meet Me for Coffee, I hangout and chat with  my friend Jackie at Molinari's Caffe here in Napa. We chat about our friendship, our kids and their family's prompting to be missionaries in Mexico. The episode was recorded about 9 days before they completely pack up their bags and leave Napa. I hope that you enjoy our conversation and can hear Jackie's quiet peace and trust in Jesus to lead them. After hearing this episode, if you feel led to support them in prayer and finances, go to: http://sgwm.com/blog/missionaries/mosley-family/

This week on Meet Me for Coffee , I hang out with Derek Bromley, the owner of OHM Coffee Roasters, which is a mobile coffee truck here in the Napa Valley. We talked and drank OHM coffee, both hot and a cold brew at JAX diner. It was one of the most enjoyable conversations I have had with a new friend. It was great listening and learning about coffee and the similiarities with wine. Which seems quite appropriate here in the wine country.  This was one of my most educational, and yet super fun podcast to date. I seriously geeked out. 

My hope is that you would enjoy our conversation as I learn about his journery from wine to coffee. Also I hope that the episode would encourage you to meet a friend for coffee and go support your local coffee roasters.

Big hugs

Finally, he made the move to Calistoga and planted roots and started Calistoga  Roastery, 25 years ago!
