Hawk reflects on his childhood summers at his grandparents' farm in rural Ohio, where Sunday mornings at Oakland Lutheran Church were less about religion and more about the power of community. His grandfather was a deacon and church leader, his grandmother sang in the choir and taught Sunday school, and together they anchored a tight-knit congregation of farming families who gathered every week not just to worship but to be together. After the service, the church basement transformed into a massive potluck where relatives, neighbors, and generations of farming families shared food, stories, and connection.
For Hawk, who admits he never believed in the religious side of things even as a young child, those Sunday mornings were something he genuinely looked forward to because of the people, the cousins, and the warmth of that rural farming community. The community aspect of church, set against the backdrop of Ohio farmland just miles from where Shawshank Redemption was filmed, left a lasting impression that continues to shape how he thinks about belonging, family, and what it means to truly come together.
