The Biblical Man
The Church That Floated Onto the Land It Couldn't Buy
The storm of 1876, John Craig's escape, and the black dog with a purse of gold.
In September 1876, floodwaters carried a little North Carolina church off its foundation and onto the very lot its congregation had been refused.
That’s where this episode begins. It also follows the old account of John Craig’s escape from execution and a black dog carrying a purse of gold.

Last year, I recorded a bunch of podcasts for Substack, but the quality really stunk. I’ve always had trouble with my speaking. When I was a kid, I had tubes in my ears and a severe stutter. I still slur words without knowing I’m doing it, and I talk exceptionally fast. So I gave up on those recordings.
Recently, I found a tool that lets me use a voice editor and add music. That’s how I’ve put this episode together.
I really want to be a blessing to you through these stories as well as my writing. After you’ve listened, tell me what you think of the voice and music. Would you listen to more of these? If you like it, I’ll upload more.
Oh, and the dog in the picture is our beloved Ginger. She held, and still holds, a special place in all our hearts.
