Episode 10 : Knowing God for Yourself - Into Relationship

In this milestone 10th episode of The Appalachian Disciples, we’re talking about the difference between religion and a real relationship, and why knowing God personally changes everything.
Too many folks know about God but haven’t really met Him. There comes a time when you’ve got to move beyond just hearing about God from others and start walking with Him for yourself.

Episode 9: Obedience - Walking in Faithful Surrender

In this episode of The Appalachian Disciples, we’re diving deep into one of the most challenging (and freeing) parts of the Christian life: obedience.
Obedience isn’t just about following rules — it’s about trusting the heart of the Father, even when you don’t fully understand the path He’s asking you to walk. From Scripture to real-life stories, we explore why obedience matters, how to do it even when it costs you something, and what God can do with a life fully surrendered.

Episode 7: "Even If" - Trusting God in the Lowest of Valleys

What does it mean to trust God even if the healing doesn’t come, the prayer isn't answered the way we want, or the pain doesn’t go away?
In this powerful episode, Coty and Tommy dive into what “Even If” faith really looks like—faith that holds on when life falls apart, when the outcome isn’t what we hoped for, and when God feels silent.
Through Scripture, personal stories, and honest conversation, we’re exploring how to walk with God in the darkest valleys, and how to develop a faith that says, “Even if… I will still trust You.”

Episode 4 Minisode - Beyond the Bunny : The True Meaning of Easter

In our first-ever Minisode, we take a moment to pause and reflect on the true meaning of Easter—beyond the baskets, bunnies, and egg hunts.
We explore the rich symbolism behind Easter traditions and how they point us back to the sacrifice of Jesus. From Passover to resurrection Sunday, we’ll show how every thread of this season reminds us of the freedom bought by Christ’s blood. We also walk through all the ways that Jesus shed His blood—each one holding powerful meaning for your life today. From the crown of thorns to the nail-pierced hands, every drop tells a story of redemption, healing, and victory.
Whether you’re in your car, on a walk, or having a quiet moment with God, this minisode will refocus your heart on why Easter truly matters.

Episode 2- Learning to Be Still and Know

In this episode of The Appalachian Disciples, Coty shares his powerful testimony of faith, doubt and ultimately surrendering to God’s will for his life. From growing up in church and struggling with legalism to questioning his beliefs while in college, Coty shares how apologetics and a personal encounter with God changed his life. His journey teaches us the meaning of Psalm 46:10—Be Still and Know that I am God—not as passive meditation, but as an active surrender to God’s control.
