HGTV Was NEVER the Plan
Before Home Town and HGTV, six friends—Ben and Erin Napier, Jim and Mallorie Rasberry, and Josh and Emily Nowell—believed Laurel’s story wasn’t finished.
In this episode of The Heirloom Podcast, we revisit the early days: forgotten streets, late nights, small acts of faithfulness—and the belief that hard work without knowing the outcome can change everything.
At The Heirloom in Laurel, Mississippi, we are passionate about legacy. How can everyday people, through everyday living, leave a lasting impact?
Join Josh Nowell and Jim Rasberry as they explore stories of grit, faith, craftsmanship, and calling. From astronauts to artists, soldiers to builders, dads to doctors—everyone is working to build something worth passing down.
Rooted in a lasting worldview and grounded in community, this show invites you to slow down and reflect:
What are you building that will be treasured as an heirloom?
