In this episode of Water into Wine, Father Charleston Wilson opens a 2022 Stag’s Leap Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon and uses it as a doorway into a conversation about nighttime, faith, and the quiet ways God works when the world slows down. With a nod to America’s 250th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Judgment of Paris blind wine tasting, Father Charleston reflects on why darkness should not be feared, how Scripture is full of holy moments that happen at night, and why sleepless hours can become an invitation to prayer rather than a time of frustration. The episode also explores Mary and Martha, intentional prayer, church community, and why some of God’s deepest work happens while the rest of the world sleeps.
