When you hear the words “Appalachia” and “Spirituality” together you probably imagine a church on the hill, Sunday sermons preaching hellfire, hymns and river baptisms… and yes, we have that. And it’s beautiful! But, we also have those of us who found our spiritual paths in unconventional ways. Join us for a very special extended episode featuring our very special guest Hefner the Hare.
