In this episode of Retire Southern, host James Lewis sits down with Coy Bowles — Grammy-winning guitarist, songwriter, and children's author best known for his work with the Zac Brown Band — to explore how music, family, and purpose intersect in a life built on creativity and gratitude. From his "blue-collar Wonder Years" upbringing in Thomaston, Georgia, to writing hits like Colder Weather and Knee Deep, Bowles shares how his Southern roots shaped his storytelling — and how fatherhood and faith now fuel his passion for inspiring others. He also opens up about his newest children's book, Every Amazing Story, co-written with Malcolm Mitchell, and his mission to help young readers across Georgia discover the power of imagination and literacy.

What does it take for a town to rename itself after a single man? In the case of Thomaston, Connecticut, it wasn't conquest, expansion, or calamity that sparked change—it was the steady tick of a clock and the quiet persistence of legacy.

In 2017 I was baptized by Pastor Travis Graham and spent the next two years attending his church, Valley Grove Church in Thomaston, Georgia. Travis is a 40 year old pastor with the heart of colonial America pastoring. The church he stewards is 134 years old. He carries that legacy even today, always available, supporting his congregation and community, while raising a family, hunting, farming and loving Jesus. He is a reminder of the simple and pure walk of staying in the word, being obedient to God and loving Jesus. #BardsFM #CountryChurch #LovingJesus Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com BardsFM CAP, Celebrating 50 Million Downloads: https://ambitiousfaith.net Morning Intro Music Provided by Brian Kahanek: www.briankahanek.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

Our brother and friend, Pastor Parker Thomaston, explores the transformative power of God's love and how it shapes our identity and relationships; challenging us with the reality that our character, shaped by the love of Jesus, matters more than our competency or achievements.Support the show

The Most Haunted City On Earth | Presented by The Savannah Underground
Watch Us Investigate The Mars Theatre LIVE! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastAppalachia is packed with terrifying tales—but today we're lathering up the cleanest legend of them all: Soap Sally. We trace this Southern boogeywoman from mill-town wash lines and lye barrels to modern ghost tours, explore why parents warned “be home by dark… or Soap Sally will get you,” and unpack how these stories doubled as cautionary tales. Madison Timmons, Chris Soucy, and JT connect Soap Sally to wider folklore (hello, Baba Yaga), talk lye-soap chemistry and why it burns, and share a wild Thomaston, GA lead about “Goat Hill” and three ominous kettles. Plus: why villains in old tales often started as women who wouldn't conform—and what that says about the culture that created them.We're also investigating the Mars Theater on Sept 29. We'll stream ~2 hours publicly, then go all night with our Parajunkies on Patreon. Want the full hunt? Join here: Got a hometown legend (Soap Sally, Bunny Man, Cropsey—bring it on)? Drop your small-town folklore in the comments and we may do an episode on it. ghostmail@hauntedcitypodcast.com

Overcoming by Parker Thomaston
Often times we pray that God will remove the obstacles in our lives. But most times, Yahweh desires for us to overcome them. However, our victory doesn't rest in the effects of our own efforts, it simply lies in the fullness of His goodness.Support the show
