  • Family Life: The Homestead as Part of the Church - Part 3
    Jul 11 2024

    Welcome to the third and final part of our conversation on family life - the homestead as part of the Church! Today we wrap up our conversation by discussing everything from the importance of work and sacrifice on the homestead, why homesteading keeps us more aware of the presence of God, and the reason why prepping might just not be the right mindset for a homesteading family. We talk about work as a sanctifying endeavor, whether or not eating meat is OK, and cover a handful of other nuances pertaining to life on the homestead and how it works to help build our relationship with God.
