It’s not secret that Daylight Savings Time absolutely sucks. BUT did you know that there is scientific proof that this hour shift in time has detrimental effects on our mental and physical health and even causes deaths every year?! Tune in to hear the history behind DST and WHY it is time for the clock to run out on DST.

Is the clock running out on TikTok too?! The US government is trying to force a sale of TikTok or ban it from US app stores impacting millions of people and the income of an astronomical amount of American families. Even worse, is this violating our first amendment? Hear our take!

47. Why We Don't Have Health Insurance: All About Christian Healthcare Ministries Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

We're excited to finally bring you a highly requested episode from Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM), a faith-based healthcare cost-sharing ministry. CHM operates on the principle of Christians helping fellow Christians with their medical bills. They offer various programs tailored to different needs and budgets, providing an alternative to traditional health insurance.

In this episode, we'll deep dive how CHM was a pivotal part of MP and Jena both stepping away from their full time off the farm jobs that previously provided traditional health insurance coverage. We'll also discuss the benefits of healthcare cost-sharing ministries and why/how both of our families have felt so much peace since leaving conventional insurance behind, shedding light on how these programs function and who they may be suitable for.

Tune in as we explore this unique approach, how Christian Healthcare Ministries aligns with the values of our families, and how it has been an affordable and faith-based solution to our healthcare costs.
