“I don’t know of any better way to meet people than over a cup of coffee.” — Don Cox
WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT
Scott Kesterson and Don Cox, founder of Bald Guy Brew Coffee in Boone, North Carolina, talk about how a church planter ended up roasting coffee. Don tells of planting a “homeless church” in Pittsburgh, doing mission work in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda, and using coffee as a tent-making business that opens doors overseas. They cover the Moravians, Saint Patrick, George Washington’s coffee plants, the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, Brother Lawrence and practicing the presence of God, and why honest work is sacred, not secular.
KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED
- How did a church planter become a coffee roaster?
- What is tent-making in missions, and why did Don Cox choose it?
- Did George Washington grow coffee at Mount Vernon?
