Miles Hannan, partner at Smith, Hannan, Parker & Bowden, joined the show with a powerful testimony of how God has shaped his life from his early days in law enforcement to becoming one of the region’s most respected trial attorneys. Miles shared how his legal career has been anchored not just in skill, but in conviction — a commitment to ethical leadership, integrity, and living out Christian values in a profession where those principles are often tested.

He opened up about his work in criminal defense and drew a striking comparison to the trials of Jesus, highlighting the serious procedural violations that occurred and how they underline the biblical importance of defending the rights of the accused. For Miles, every client — guilty or innocent — is a person created in God’s image, deserving of due process and compassion.

Miles also spoke about integrating faith into business, explaining that Christian leadership is not just about quoting Scripture but making Christ-centered decisions in the everyday pressures of a law firm. He didn’t shy away from the challenges either — from maintaining spiritual integrity in a secular environment to navigating the way media shapes public opinion about justice and morality.

In the end, Miles encouraged listeners to lean fully on God’s provision and to boldly live out their faith at work, reminding us that the marketplace is one of the greatest mission fields we have. His message was clear: when we follow Christ in our professional lives, we don’t just influence the people around us — we build legacies that honor God.

Jeff Fitch—Air Force veteran, firefighter, and the owner of Dirty Dozen Coffee Company—joined us to share a story that’s equal parts service, faith, and a really good cup of coffee. After a 20-year career in the U.S. Air Force, Jeff stepped into a new kind of calling as a firefighter, and along the way, a simple firehouse habit turned into something bigger: Dirty Dozen Coffee.

What started as conversations and encouragement from the guys around the station grew into a business built on the kind of values you can actually feel—integrity, transparency, and taking care of people. Since launching in 2020, Dirty Dozen Coffee has seen steady growth, and Jeff says the goal has stayed the same from day one: treat customers right and deliver a full pound of great coffee—no gimmicks.

But the heart of the story wasn’t just entrepreneurship—it was purpose. Jeff talked openly about how faith shapes his decision-making, why community service is more than a slogan, and how Dirty Dozen Coffee is meant to be something that adds value to Valdosta and beyond. Looking ahead, he shared exciting possibilities, including plans that could lead to a brick-and-mortar shop in Valdosta.

And maybe the best takeaway of the whole conversation: Jeff reminded us that in business—and in life—sometimes the most important move isn’t the next hustle. It’s learning to be still, listen, and let God direct the steps.

In this episode, we sit down with Charlie Barnes, CEO of Barnes Healthcare, to talk about leading a multi-generational family business with a simple but powerful heartbeat: “We take care of people.” You’ll hear how faith shapes leadership when it’s more than a slogan—when prayer, Scripture, and service show up in the everyday decisions that affect real families.

But this conversation goes deeper. Charlie speaks honestly about healing and growth, the hard work of building healthy teams, and what happens when people resist the uncomfortable process of change. And as he looks ahead, he pulls back the curtain on a broken healthcare system—high costs, inefficiencies, and medication challenges—while sharing a hopeful vision for the future rooted in relationships, community, and strategic partnerships. If you care about faith, leadership, and what healthcare could become, you’re going to want to hear this.
