On today's finale of The Mountain Spirit Podcast, we sit down with Fr. Marc Bentley, a priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington. Fr. Marc is from Pike County, Kentucky and holds the mountains close to his heart. In 2019, he became the first Roman Catholic priest known to hold an M.A. in Appalachian Studies. Listen to him speak about ministry and purpose in Appalachia.
