What starts as small-town banter turns into a deep, meandering conversation about family, music, fire, faith, and finding meaning right where you are.

In this episode, the Brewed Awakening crew reflects on life in Mississippi—from accident-prone kids and Christmas chaos to house fires, blues legends, and the strange ways the universe seems to line things up. Along the way, there’s live music, personal stories, and a lot of heart.

We also unpack:

• Growing up (and surviving) in big families
• A live acoustic performance and the story behind it
• Meeting legends like B.B. King and Robert Plant
• House fires, close calls, and lasting perspective
• Small-town business, Main Street revival, and local pride
• Social media, creativity, and building community
• Metaphysics, mindset, faith, and visualization
• High school memories, fashion regrets, and cafeteria politics
