In this episode of the Redemptification Podcast John and Ty will be discussing the significance of meals and food in communities and the bible. “Meals” is part one of a two-part series “Meals & Mountains.”These ideas came for Steve Cockram of GiANT who wrote the book the Five Voices as John discussed how many powerful things happened in the bible and in our life around meals and on mountains. John and Ty discuss how these are environments that encourage miracles and create the perspective to shape lives and cities.
