Your calling and my calling look incredibly differ Your calling and my calling look incredibly different. While they may crossover in various places—we are not taking the same steps in every way. 

Sometimes I think it’s easy for Christian’s to put one another in a box. I’ve found when this happens, the tradition of man rules. The reality, however, is that while we should stay in the boundaries set by God—we are all intricately and uniquely different.

We follow His blueprint, but we all have a different part to play. 

So if I don’t fit into the box you’d like for me to fit into, sometimes that’s not my fault. It’s the ideological thought process that has caused many to think wrongly. 

Expand your horizon. 

Not every man was created to goto war but every man can be a warrior. Not every man will write like Luke or teach like Paul—but every man can be a teacher in his own way.

The same goes for calling—you and I are called to the great COMMISSION, but our MISSION may look a lot different. And when we come to terms with this, when we accept it fully in the body of Christ, we begin to see every part of the body flourish. We begin to see more advancement. 

While I’m over here working with the salt of the earth blue collar kind of people, you may be working with white collar suits and ties. Both are equally important. Both have important roles in the kingdom. And kings and rulers will come to both when the world shakes even more than it is. 

I have heard men with deep southern accents preach a simple gospel without a stage and pulpit and cut to the core in less than 15 mins. Likewise, I’ve sat in theological discussions that last hours that I know my more simple friends could never (nor would they want to) sit through. 

My goal—be able to teach effectively to both groups, while staying in my lane. Staying in what I’ve been called and anointed to do. 

And that’s the difference. 

Whatever God has called YOU to do. Do that. Have situational awareness. Be flexible enough to cross over into other lanes to excel foward. But never forget your calling is different than the rest. 

Embrace it. It belongs to God, after all. Walk in obedience. Embrace the callings of others. Stop comparing. We’ll get farther this way.
They are your greatest treasure. The jewels in you They are your greatest treasure. The jewels in your crown. And they are not yours at all, when you really think of it. They are gifted to you for a time, and they belong to the Creator of all things. The King Who made you. 

Parenting is hard. It takes years and multiple children to finally figure it out. By then the damage may have already been done to the older one(s) and now you try to rebuild. Or maybe you don’t. Maybe you decide to just not even try. But which one do you think is the best option knowing the King entrusted one of His children to you to call your own? Try, and then try again. 

If we must become like children to enter the kingdom, how much more important is it to make sure we are intricately involved in every aspect of our own children’s lives? 

I remember growing up. It didn’t matter how much someone said they loved me. If I didn’t feel loved in that moment or situation, then in my mind I wasn’t loved. But we eventually move past childhood thoughts into maturity, where we realize that our parents did the best they could do with what they were handed (outside of abuse etc, which is never condoned). And if we use wisdom, we realize we can be better and do better.

Get healed so that you aren’t spending the rest of your life healing your children or wishing you’d done better.

Get healed before your grandchildren come along and don’t want to be around you. 

You know how you do that? Sit down with your little ones, and your big ones. Give them hours of your time, not just 30 mins total per day. Have conversations with them like people, not subordinates.

And when little girls ask you to dance in the rain with them—don’t say no. 

You are laying the foundation for what your children will expect in their adult lives. If you hand them a controlling parent, they will either look for a controlling spouse, or be one. But if you hand them a calm, authoritative, wise, loving parent (which doesn’t mean a pushover—set boundaries), they will not only look for an authoritative spouse, but they too will walk in authority. 

At the end of the day, remember, it’s all about the kingdom. 

The King is coming. Will He find us busy for Him, or ourselves?
“19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy “19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state. 20 For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. 21 For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:19-21
We’ve been helping people establish and learn how We’ve been helping people establish and learn how to build or implement The Church Storehouse all over the nation. Fellowship groups, churches, farms, homesteads, and more are coming together to build these places in their regions. But we long for our own storehouse here in Virginia—a place where the Body of Christ can gather, serve, pray, disciple, and become the hands and feet of Jesus to one another, and beyond. A place where we can take the networks we are building (food, medical, clothing, trades/skills, and more) and build and grow into micro regions. 

Imagine with us—a large pole barn with an upper room for discipleship, worship, and use for educational events where we support and equip the church. Rooms of refrigeration for food donations, clothing and a prepper pantry. And more! 

We support one another and secure our own kingdom systems and finances. When the body of Christ is taken care of, we can take care of others from our abundant overflow.

We are officially taking donations to help secure land or a building where we can begin to grow!

This is more than a building. It is a call to strengthen the Church in the region, unite believers, and create a lighthouse of hope in a time when many are searching for truth, stability, and the presence of God. It’s about food security, medical security, equipping the body spiritually, fellowship, and more! 

We believe the local Church should be equipped to minister, to help the hurting, to encourage families, and to stand as a beacon in uncertain times. This storehouse will be a place where faith becomes action and community is restored through Christ.

If you believe in this mission and you’d like to help us build from the ground up, this post is for you. Every donation helps lay the foundation for a ministry center that can impact lives for generations.

Help us build the storehouse, strengthen the Church, and prepare the way for what God wants to do next.

Donate today and be part of the beginning here in our region. Virginia certainly needs it now more than ever. 

If you’ve been praying for a way to sow into Kingdom work, comment STOREHOUSE to be taken to our donation page.
I want to be really clear about this, in case you’ I want to be really clear about this, in case you’re just now getting to know me, or if you need a refresher. 

I run a conference and movement called @homesteadersofamerica . And at no point in time have I ever, or will I ever, have you as a speaker at our events if you come to me in this way…

First, telling me you’re God’s gift to the homesteading community and your subscriber count is larger than all our other speakers. I don’t care about your subscriber count or your ego—I care about if you can teach efficiently and you’re an expert in your field. 

Second, if you think I need your money so you say “I’ll sponsor your event if you let me speak”. I’m here to decentralize the system, not centralize a movement based on who pays me. Sorry, hard pass. And shame on you—you know better if you’re truly fighting the system. Don’t come at me with that non-sense, I understand very well how this works. Also, I don’t need your money. We’re doing just fine without it. 

I’m sorry if that sounds harsh, but it needs to be said. 

I am not, nor will I ever be, bought. And this is what makes all the difference between leaders and followers. 

My goal is to pioneer a gigantic trail right through the nation, and beyond, of people who want to live a sustainable life, and who scare the heck out of the government while they do it. 

Call me a rebel. Call me a heretic. Call me whatever you want to call me, trust me, I’ve probably been called it before. And I don’t care. 

But I do care about this…

I care about the sheep and I don’t want someone to scatter them.
I care about the movement and I won’t let anyone buy it.
I care about authenticity and genuineness because you can’t fake it. 
I care about real education from real homesteaders who are tried and tested in fire.
I care about teachers who truly love the people—not just the money. 

My best speakers are the ones who don’t come to be served, but to serve. They are on their feet all day and then say “what else can I do for you?” They will be hot, and sweaty, and dirty, and hungry, and still ready to teach and love and bear the burden with you. 

These aren’t just leaders—they are servant leaders.

That’s the difference.
