In this candid and deeply reflective episode, Rev. Chip Bennett, Southern District Superintendent of the United Methodist Church in West Virginia, joins J.D. for a raw and honest conversation about faith in a complicated world.

Together, they tackle some of the toughest questions facing Christianity today:
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Where does the Church stand on gay marriage?
Should women preach?
How do people of faith make sense of war, suffering, and silence from God?

This isn’t a sermon—it’s a conversation grounded in experience, doubt, hope, and conviction. Whether you're devout, deconstructing, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to wrestle with faith on your own terms.

🎙️ Watch the full discussion for respectful, real talk about modern belief

#PoopInfrastructure #SanitationMatters

In this surprisingly necessary and undeniably real episode, J.D. hosts a roundtable like no other—The Super Toilet Bowl—a deep dive (pun intended) into the future of sanitation infrastructure in West Virginia.

Joining the conversation are three industry pros:
🚽 Veronica Crosier, Executive Director of the Portable Sanitation Association International
💧 Luke Stevens, Operations Manager for the Beckley Sanitary Board
🛠️ Brandon Conley, Civil Engineer with E.L. Robinson

From designing wastewater systems and managing city utilities, to portable toilet innovations and the very real challenges of rural access, this episode goes beyond the flush to answer: What does it really take to manage human waste—and what’s next?

🎙️ Watch the full episode for serious talk about serious infrastructure
📍 From port-a-johns to pump stations, this is the plumbing of progress
💩 It’s not glamorous—but it’s absolutely essential
