What's That In Your Hand? May 31, 2023

Show notes

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode 22 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

In today's episode, I'm sharing a YouTube devotional throwback in podcast form. The original video is called "What's that in your hand? (Responding to the Alarm)." The truth remains that there's no better time than now to look at what's in your hand, then ask yourself what you can do with what you already have.

It's so easy to look at what others are doing or what others have and become discontent with where we are, but that's the last thing the Lord wants for us. Let's all be like Moses and use the "staff" that's in our hands to do great things right where we are!

Grow Your Own Food May 10, 2023

Show notes

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode nineteen of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

In today's episode, we're talking about growing our own food. So many of us want to fill our pantry with homegrown, home-preserved food, and there seems to be this pressure to do so, especially in this homesteading space. But is that always necessary? What about those items we can't grow, or aren't currently growing enough of for our family for a year?

Come join me as I discuss my opinions on growing your own food (it might surprise you!). For more information and any links mentioned, visit the blog post here.

The Hard and Worthy Work of Homesteading May 03, 2023

Show notes

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode eighteen of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

In today's episode, I'm diving deep into the importance of the hard and worthy work of homesteading. I will never tell you this life isn't for you, but I also won't lie and tell you it's without its hardships.

This life is beautiful, will push you beyond your limits, will open your eyes to what you're capable of and is full of more rewards than I can count.

The Urgency to Grow Food (And Audacious Hope) Apr 26, 2023

Show notes

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode seventeen of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

This week is a throwback to a YouTube video I recorded back in March of 2022 on the urgency to grow food. I thought it was an important topic, enough so that I wanted it to be published in my podcasts. If you caught this video, perhaps this is a great reminder of the why behind what we do.

Dealing with Loss on the Farm Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode sixteen of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

Today's episode is all about learning how to deal with loss on the farm. Death and dying on the homestead is an inevitability. Where there is livestock, there will be dead stock. I don't say this to be harsh, but I wish someone had prepared me better for this life before I jumped in with both feet.

What is a Homesteader? Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode thirteen of the Roots and Refuge Podcast. Today I'm going to be answering the question, "What is a homesteader?"

Homesteading looks different for all of us and we're all at different stages in our journey. I have a very deep-rooted belief that we can all turn our waiting room into a classroom.

This can apply to anything! If you have a dream in your heart, the very best way you can steward that dream and that promise is to do everything within your capacity, where you are, to receive the fulfillment of that promise.

Don't give up when it gets hard, or when mistakes are made. That will come, it's inevitable with growth.

Please, just know that I am proud of you, I am rooting for you, and I am here for you, cheering you along each step of your journey!
