I am originally from West Virginia. When the rest of the country was suffering from economic hardships we somehow snuck by with the still thriving coal mines. However, West Virginia did not get away unscathed. Coal mines continue to close and people continue to find themselves out of work. In times like these some individuals turn anywhere they can to find something to numb the pain. West Virginia finds itself in the clutches of a drug epidemic. Now, I am not going to blame the epidemic solely on layoffs. There are a lot more things that go into this problem from culture to simply how highways run. West Virginia has an uphill battle to take back its people. It breaks my heart to see the place I was born and raised become over run. People have not given up hope though. The drug empire is looming but the resistance is strong. I did not have to look hard to find five people to join me on stage at Legacy Church as we recorded in front of a live audience about their Battle For Home. I hope you are able to take something from this podcast and apply it to your life and your journey following God. If you would like to reach out you can find me across all social media @chazmcpeake.
