Stu Manchester | Across the Acres, Presented by Beck's

Whether you are a person of faith or not, there is something to be learned from our episode 21 guest, Stu Manchester. A fourth-year Beck’s dealer, Stu strongly resonates with the “faith, family, and farming” values that we have as a company – but it hasn’t always been that way. Through this honest and vulnerable conversation, Stu provides a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and that there is always hope for healing and transformation. Listen as he shares with David and Morgan how his faith gave him a new perspective on life, and how it helped him find meaning in the midst of his toughest times.
