When creating a distilled spirit, it is usual to start either with an established spirit type or with flavour, but when Seth O’Malley and Brad Whiting created Wilderton they approached it from a very different standpoint. 

Starting instead with a layering of botanicals, that could not be easy identified as any particular flavour, the friends wanted to create a liquid that would function as a spirit without trying to be an already existing one.

The result is their two expressions, Lustre and Earthen, both of which were born out of curiosity about the depth of feeling that the botanicals used could express. 

To find out more, we speak to Seth O’Malley about botanicals, distilling and what it means to live and drink wild and free. 

In this episode, Arnie and Fred continue to discuss Jesus' apostles and their work. Jesus instructed them in what is commonly called the Limited Commission. The apostles accompanied  and assisted Jesus in His work such as the feeding of the 5,000. We note that they witnessed and proclaimed His death and resurrection. We talk about the fact that they were referred to as servants and had left nearly everything for the Gospel. We find them referred to as "earthen vessels" and discuss what that means. They were ambassadors for Christ and we note what that meant. They were also judges  and we talk about what that means to us today. They are said to hold the keys of the kingdom and we relate what the bible says about that. They also declared and taught the gospel through the spoken and written word and confirmed it with miraculous signs and we discuss some of that. Finally we talk about to what degree they considered themselves  indebted to Jesus Christ and God. Take about 30 minutes to listen in on our discussion and have your Bible available so you can verify what we are saying.
