The Appalachian Disciples

The Appalachian Disciples

Welcome to The Appalachian Disciples the podcast where faith gets real, life gets messy, and we try our best to follow Jesus without tripping over our own two feet. We’re your hosts, Tommy and Coty—two guys with a love for scripture, a heart for the mountains, and just enough stubbornness to keep things interesting. Here, we talk about faith the way folks around here do—honest, straight to the point, and maybe with a story or two along the way. From front porch conversations to deep dives into scripture, we’ll explore what it means to live as disciples of Christ—grounded in tradition, but always moving forward. Some weeks, we’ll tackle big questions. Other weeks, we’ll just try to figure out what in the world we’re doing. Either way, expect some laughs, some truth, and maybe even a little convictionSo grab your Bible, a strong cup of coffee and pull up a chair -------- let’s figure this faith thing out together.

What does it mean to trust God even if the healing doesn’t come, the prayer isn't answered the way we want, or the pain doesn’t go away?

In this powerful episode, Coty and Tommy dive into what “Even If” faith really looks like—faith that holds on when life falls apart, when the outcome isn’t what we hoped for, and when God feels silent.

Through Scripture, personal stories, and honest conversation, we’re exploring how to walk with G...

In this episode, we unpack how technology is shaping the way we follow Christ.

Join us as we explore the blessings, the pitfalls, and what it means to remain faithful in a digital age.

In our first-ever Minisode, we take a moment to pause and reflect on the true meaning of Easter—beyond the baskets, bunnies, and egg hunts.

We explore the rich symbolism behind Easter traditions and how they point us back to the sacrifice of Jesus. From Passover to resurrection Sunday, we’ll show how every thread of this season reminds us of the freedom bought by Christ’s blood. We also walk through all the ways that Jesus shed His...
