Episode Description

In this introductory episode of Forgotten Mountain, Emily and Isaiah interview their parents, Dwight and Doe Kopp, about their story. They discuss everything from a homemade rickshaw and a virtual cruise to the many real ways God provided along the way. Together they revisit an awkward double date, early marriage, raising five children, life in Zambia, homeschooling, making do with very little, building a family culture of creativity, and eventually opening their home to people walking through crisis.

This episode is warm, funny, and personal, but it also sets the table for the larger conversation ahead: What does it look like when faith is not merely a Sunday service, but a shared life around tables, in homes, through hardship, hospitality, and discipleship?

Before the series turns to Primal Church, this episode gives listeners a window into the people, family, and lived experience behind the conversation.
