In this episode of For Home & Heaven, we explore how the rhythms of homesteading reflect God’s design for every season—planting, harvesting, resting, and trusting. From spring piglets to winter stillness, each season offers its own lessons in faith, family, and stewardship.

Join us as we share stories from our own farm and reflect on how God works in the visible and invisible seasons of life. Whether you're deep in the work of summer or in a quieter winter, this episode is for you.

🌱 Spring: New life & preparation
☀️ Summer: Stewardship & consistency
🍂 Fall: Harvest & reflection
❄️ Winter: Rest & recalibration

📖 Scriptures:

• Ecclesiastes 3:1 — “There is a time for every matter under heaven.”
• Galatians 6:9 — “...in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary.”

What if the biggest sacrifices you’ll ever make are the quiet ones no one sees?

In this episode of For Home & Heaven, we talk honestly about what it means to give up good things—not bad ones—for the sake of something greater. From rusty mowers and early mornings to career dreams and cross-country moves, we share the daily and defining choices that have shaped our faith, our family, and our future.

You’ll hear:
🛠️ The small sacrifices that form our hearts
🧳 The big ones that changed our lives
📖 Why we believe in calling over comfort
🕊️ A gentle challenge: What is God asking you to lay down?

We’re not just building a homestead—we’re building a life that points to heaven. And that means saying “no” to some very good things, so we can say “yes” to what matters most.
