Today I have been alive on earth for 39 years. As Today I have been alive on earth for 39 years.

As I prayed myself to sleep last night, it went something like this…

Thank you, Yahweh, for creating me. You knew me before the foundations of the earth, and you knit me together perfectly. 

Thank you, Yeshua, for giving me new life in the Kingdom of God.

Thank You for the life partner you’ve given me to call husband—he is irreplaceable. Thank you for blessing me with children that bring me joy. Thank you for the hard times that have taught me how to be content in all circumstances. Thank you for the rebukes that have refined my rough edges (and continue to). Thank you for Your grace that is sufficient for all of my imperfections. Thank You for Your unconditional love when I feel unloveable. Thank You for giving me wisdom and gifts to further Your kingdom.

Thank You for asking me to walk in victory alongside of You in the tasks You’ve put my hands to. 

Forgive me when I have doubted and not trusted You. 

Help me continue to plow in the direction You’re going. Help me continue to build fertile soil for the seeds to be sown. Show me my blind spots, that they may be rooted up and replaced with new growth. 

Thank you for another year on this beautiful place called earth. Teach me Your ways, and Your heart, O LORD. ❤️‍🔥
For most homesteaders and herbalists, mullein is t For most homesteaders and herbalists, mullein is the herb you reach for when someone has a cough, congestion, or irritated lungs.

But mullein’s story goes much deeper than that.

For centuries, herbalists used mullein in cases of chronic respiratory illness, including conditions that modern medicine would later identify as mycobacterial diseases. Today, we know that the mycobacteria family includes tuberculosis (TB), as well as non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)—environmental organisms commonly found in soil, water systems, and even household plumbing.

What’s particularly interesting is that mullein contains compounds such as saponins, flavonoids, iridoids, and verbascoside (acteoside), which researchers have found to possess antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties.

Mullein’s long history of use for persistent respiratory complaints, combined with emerging scientific research, helps us understand why generations of herbalists considered mullein one of the premier herbs for lung support.

As herbalists, we should always be careful not to overstate what an herb can do. Yet we should also appreciate the wisdom of traditional plant medicine and continue exploring why certain plants earned their reputations over centuries of use.

Mullein remains one of my favorite herbs for supporting respiratory wellness, soothing irritated tissues, and helping maintain healthy lung function.

Sometimes the plants growing in our pastures, roadsides, and fence rows have stories that modern science is only beginning to rediscover.

Processing day doesn’t have to feel like chaos. A Processing day doesn’t have to feel like chaos.

After years of raising and processing our own poultry, I’ve learned that most processing-day disasters don’t happen because of a lack of skill—they happen because of a lack of preparation.

The dull knife.
The empty propane tank.
The missing shrink bags.
The realization halfway through the day that you should have bought twice as much ice.
The stopping a hundred times to deal with your kids wishing you had an outside sink to wash your hands off in.

Sound familiar? 😅

Whether you’re processing your first batch of meat birds or your fiftieth, small mistakes can cost you hours of work, increase stress, and even affect the quality of the meat you’re putting in your freezer.

In my latest blog post, I’m sharing 15 processing day mistakes that waste time and meat, along with practical tips to help you have a smoother, more organized harvest day.

A few of the mistakes I cover:

✔️ Starting too late in the day
✔️ Processing too many birds at once
✔️ Skipping feed withdrawal
✔️ Forgetting packaging supplies
✔️ Not having enough help
✔️ Waiting until the end to clean up

The truth is, processing day is usually won—or lost—the days before processing. A little preparation goes a long way toward making the day more efficient, less stressful, and much more enjoyable.

Have you ever had a processing-day mistake that taught you a lesson the hard way? Share it below—we’ve all been there. 👇

Culture has been the topic in a lot of personal co Culture has been the topic in a lot of personal conversations recently. The culture of our society. The culture of the church. The culture of the family. In fact, I should totally talk about this topic more in-depth soon, and how it all coincides together. But today I am reminded of a conversation my husband and I had a few weeks back.

As we were talking about the “last days”, I posed this question—what if culture goes back to Bible culture and it’s all literal? 

We live in a very unique world and country. We expect none of the things we use and love everyday to disappear. But if there’s one thing I know and have witnessed, it’s that all of this is so fragile that it could disappear overnight. Literally. Within seconds. Gone. And suddenly a modern culture would wake up to a culture that pre-dates the 1800s. 

And so my question is this—what if God is preparing His church culture (there’s a shift happening) so that the church will be prepared for the societal culture shock when it happens? 

We’d all be preparing a lot differently, wouldn’t we?
For years, I’ve talked about fragile supply chains For years, I’ve talked about fragile supply chains, rising input costs, foreign dependence, and the vulnerabilities built into our modern food system.

Now, the USDA has confirmed the first domestic case of New World Screwworm in a Texas calf. The screw worm is a parasite that is flesh eating in nature. 

If you’ve listened to my interview with AJ Richards, you may remember him sounding the alarm about this months ago. Many people dismissed it as just another agricultural issue happening somewhere south of the border. But AJ explained something important—this is a food system concern, and it could cause a collapse of the already historically low beef herd in the USA.

These farmers are already facing years of drought, high feed costs, regulatory pressure, and economic uncertainty. When breeding stock leaves the system, rebuilding takes years—not months.

Now add a parasite that can rapidly spread through livestock populations and historically cost producers enormous losses. It may not affect the local small farmer who can monitor his herds easier (and probably has healthier herds). But it will absolutely affect bigger herds that are already struggling.

This is why I continually encourage people to think beyond the grocery store. The big ag food system is not one giant crisis away from collapse. It’s thousands of small pressures accumulating at the same time. Together, they create a system that becomes increasingly expensive, increasingly centralized, and increasingly vulnerable. 

Know your local farmer, raise some of your own food, learn skills, build community networks, and create resilient local food economies before they’re needed.

This is why so many of us have spent years talking about food sovereignty and homesteading. Not because we expect disaster around every corner, but because history repeatedly shows that resilient communities weather storms better than dependent ones.

Whether it’s pest, drought, inflation, fertilizer shortages, disease, or a disruption we haven’t seen yet, the lesson remains the same—the future belongs to communities that can feed themselves. And every year, that lesson becomes harder to ignore.
