28. Homesteading, Health, and God's Design for Food

I think there are so many of us that feel drawn to the homesteading lifestyle, and we might question, is this what God is really calling me to? Is homesteading actually biblical? What is God’s design for food, for our health, and how do all those things mesh together? Today we are going to be taking a look at how the many aspects of homesteading can be honoring to God, improve our health, and ultimately follow God’s design for how he created people to live. And as we dive into God’s word today, I really hope this conversation inspires you that what you are doing is for the glory of God.
 
I hope this episode encourages you to glorify God through homesteading and maybe even shows you some areas that you can press in a little deeper to Him. Thanks for joining me!

24. Starting Homesteading When Your Spouse Isn’t on Board

Homesteading comes with a lot of big decisions. Should we expand our garden, should we get chickens, should we invest in a grain mill and start grinding our own grains, should we buy a property with more land and move? But, if you are married, these are decisions that you need to make together, and sometimes as a husband and wife, you may not always be in agreement. It is great to have all of these homesteading dreams, but what if your husband doesn’t share your dreams? What if you are ready to grow your homestead, but your husband isn’t on board with what you had hoped or planned? Today, I want to share my thoughts and come alongside you, as one wife to another,, and talk about how to approach this situation while honoring Christ in your marriage. 
 
I hope this episode challenges you in God’s word and that it gives you wisdom and insight in how to deal with things when you and your husband might be in disagreement about your homestead. I pray that God would guide you as you navigate these differences with your spouse.
