In the inaugural episode of Water into Wine, host Grier Ferguson sits down with Father Charleston Wilson, rector of Church of the Redeemer in Sarasota, Florida. Their wide-ranging conversation touches on the topics of grace, struggle and transformation. Over a dry German Riesling, they talk candidly about imposter syndrome, quiet suffering and why many people carry more pain than they let on. With his trademark touches of humor and popular culture references, Father Charleston talks about what called him to the priesthood and offers a grounded, practical understanding of grace.
