The Pour Over Podcast

In this episode Kyle and I dive into the conversation surrounding race and the church. We have an honest, nuanced conversation with a dear friend and brother of ours Bryan Smith, which is a black Christian in America. We hear his perspective from that position and talk about ways to have this conversation, see change happen in this area, and how a church called to love one another as image bearers of God can honor and glorify him and his church in this messy and hard area of life. We have hope this episode encourages you to have more empathy and seek to understand before being understood. Hope you enjoy this episode Peaks & Valleys family!!

In this episode me and Kyle have a fellow coffee connoisseur Travis Hayes on the podcast. We dive into how coffee brings people together, what in the heck is specialty coffee and home brewing. We also talk about our favorite origins, brew methods, what is the specialty coffee/small batch roaster industry and also give some tips and resources to start your specialty coffee journey! This is a fun episode for you guys to enjoy, it sure was fun for us so we hope you enjoy it! Travis also has a podcast called Soundbite Gospel that is the gospel in 15 minutes or less, so show him some love and listen in and subscribe to his podcast on all major platforms, one of my top ones to check for a new episode.
