    Final Episode: What We've Learned from This Podcast
    Nov 19 2024

    We got lots of ground to cover on this episode! We’re gonna be talking about why we’ll never stop loving the South and many of the things that we learned from this podcast.

    As many of you know, we started this show 6 years ago this week. November of 2018!

    We’ve come a long way in terms of our podcast. We have a better format, flow, editing, sound, yes, we still say “um” and get things wrong from time to time, but overall we are really, really proud of the last 255 episodes. We’ve covered SO MANY aspects of Southern Culture. And now, it feels as though the time has come to tie a bow on this project so that we may say yes to other things that we feel we are being called to or that we simply want to give space to, so that we can be called to.

    We’ve put our heart and soul into this show. We hope you feel that. It’s been a true labor of love. I’m not sure you all will ever know how much we think about the podcast or how many hours it takes to set up, record, edit, post, share on socials, etc. but it’s been so worth it!

    We had fun sharing our 'learnings' with you on this episode, and we hope you will continue to stay curious about the American South and seek beauty here. We believe you'll find it.

    Peace Be With Y'all!

    -Lainie and Laura Beth

  • Sister Chat: Election Day Table Talk

    Sister Chat: Election Day Table Talk
    Nov 5 2024
    We wanted to take time to address how to walk out your relationships and hospitality head on before the election results are tallied. How we do those things practically do not change dependent on circumstances or election outcomes. Join us at the table as we discuss how we plan to do this. This particular episode is going to feel a bit more built on our Christian faith because that is the only way we know how to walk out loving people who think differently than we do. Honestly, we don’t have a lot to offer on how to walk this out practically other than leaning in to our Christian faith on how we can have the mind of Christ. Mentioned in this episode:Read The Sermon on the Mount - The Beatitudes. (Matthew 5: 3-10) Our friend Pastor Glenda Sutton says, this is the attitudes we need to Be In! The whole chapter of Matthew 5 is a great place to start. This chapter also includes verses 45-48 which is all about loving our enemies. Matthew 5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers,[i] what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.Scriptures about praying for leaders:1 Timothy 2:1-2 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.1 Peter 2:17 - Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.Romans 13:1 - Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. (He will use whoever is in office to accomplish his purposes, but it is not always through signing of bills/laws)Jeremiah 29:7 - Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.Psalms 2:10-11 - Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.Proverbs 11:14 - For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.Proverbs 21:1 - The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.Local pastor sermon Laura Beth referred to comes from Church of the City (Franklin) and pastor Darren Whitehead- https://www.youtube.com/live/QwkJ9kEiIJYMay the peace of the Lord be with y'all!Steel Magnolias Podcast is an independent show funded solely on support from listeners like you and a few advertisers from time to time.Are you enjoying the show?

  • Western Swing

    Western Swing
    Oct 22 2024

    Clearly, we are lovers of the American South. There are many facets to this diamond of a region, but it has been the birthplace of almost all of the music genres. This great nation has join us at the table as we discuss western swing.

    Western swing is a combination of many genres, including blues, jazz, polka, country, and more. It's characterized by a strong dance rhythm and the use of electrically amplified stringed instruments, like the steel guitar.

    Let’s not forget that the point of this music was and always has been to get people dancing!

    In this episode, we introduced you to our Fort Worth, Texas friend, Devon Dawson. Miss Devon is a top entertainer in western music, and has been recognized by the Academy of Western Artists as the Female Performer of the Year 2009. She's noted for her vintage sock-rhythm guitar style, and warm 'swingtime cowgirl' vocals, which bring to mind legendary B-western ladies of the silver screen, Dale Evans, Rosalie Allen, Patsy Montana, etc. Like them, her lively persona intrigues and engages both kids and adults in her audience. She holds a Grammy certificate for her participation as the singin', yodelin' voice of Jessie, on the Walt Disney CD, Woody's Roundup featuring Riders in the Sky, which was the follow-up to the movie, inspired by the characters of Toy Story 2. She has performed in and out of that character coast-to-coast, and all across the American West, including at the renowned Grand Old Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, and at Pixar Studios in Emeryville, California.
