Episode Synopsis

Welcome to a different kind of Redemption's Table.  Normally our episodes are for everybody, but today's story is particularly addressed to American Christians.  It's a sojourn to a forgotten place that begins with a forgotten harvest - and harvest and Thanksgiving usually go hand in hand.
 
The vision begins in a field of corn in a high mountain meadow.  A harvest has come and gone, and not a single ear has been picked.  Such neglect raises curiosity.  How can this be?  Suddenly, a man dressed as a Mexican peasant emerges from the parched stalks and a mysterious journey begins.  
 
Every American Christian needs to consider the questions raised by today's imaginative parable that was first shared 25 years ago.  
 
Special thank you to my good friend Jeff Gore - a singer-songwriter who has been involved in cowboy ministry before there ever was such a thing as a cowboy church.  His songs "We Gather Together to Pray" and "Who's Gonna Tell Them" are used by permission.
