Rick Welch sits down and has a deeply personal conversation with Andrea Robinette. Last year, Rick had heard a story about a husband and father who had perished in a house fire trying to save two of his sons, but tragically all three died. Bill Evans, the Truckdriver Theologian, called Rick and discussed this situation and introduced him to the wife and mother of this family, Andrea Robinette. After a few emails and phone conversations the schedule for her interview with the Burros of Berea was set, Thursday, September 26th 2024. On that day, planes were being delayed and cancelled due to heavy rains that stemmed from Hurricane Helene coming up from the Gulf of America (formerly Mexico). Andrea made the decision to drive down to our studio in Western North Carolina. While driving down, Rick and Andrea had a conversation about the flooding that had already begun and determined to cancel Thursday evening's recording to be safe and to talk to one another the following day and reschedule. Little did they know that Andrea was driving into the most catastrophic event in the history of Western North Carolina. This is one of the most powerful testimonies ever recorded on our show.
