Every year I wish more and more that I could open Every year I wish more and more that I could open my own brick and mortar wellness center. The amount of people that ask for my assistance is insane. And while I do see clients in my home and through tele-health sessions, this season with young children needs my attention more than a business. 

So what will I do? I’ll teach YOU all the things. The mama who has her own littles. The practitioner wanting to learn more about natural wellness. All of this is through my Homestead Herbalist membership. 

This most recent lesson is about something so many new herbalists and practitioners aren’t taught. Herbalism becomes much more useful when we stop asking only, “What herb is good for this?” We have to stop throwing supplements at people based on “what it does”—this isn’t holistic healthcare. This is allopathic medicine masked as holistic healthcare. 

Two people can have the same complaint and need very different herbal support. Let’s consider the common cough.

A cough might be hot and dry, cold and damp, congested and stagnant, or tight and spasmodic. The symptom may be the same, but the tissue state underneath it changes the herbs we choose.

That’s where herbal energetics come in.

Instead of memorizing endless “herb for ailment” lists, we learn to ask:

Is it hot or cold?
Damp or dry?
Tense or lax?
Moving or stagnant?

Herbal actions tell us what an herb does. Energetics help us understand how it acts and what kind of tissue pattern it may best support.

The more you understand energetics, the more you begin to understand not only why an herb may work—but why it may not be the right herb for this particular person.

That is where herbalism becomes more than memorization.

It becomes observation, discernment, and careful stewardship.

🌿 Comment ENERGETICS and I’ll send the lesson straight to your inbox.
This is your reminder to become a student of the w This is your reminder to become a student of the word, not just a hearer. You can sit in church your entire life and hear someone preach, but that is not the same as doing deep dives into the word yourself. That feeling when you read and a thought pops into your head “what does that mean?” Priceless. The thread begins to unravel as you research and try to understand more. 

One of those things for me this week has been studying Melchizedek. If you were to only read the Old Testament account of Melchizedek, there wouldn’t be much to know. But combined with the New Testament, and the ancient writings and documentation of this incredible “king”, the picture becomes more clear. 

It becomes most clear in Hebrews, as the writer begins to unpackage the parallel of Melchizedek and Jesus—both high priests appointed by God. But interestingly, Melchizedek was a high priest centuries before the levitical priesthood was ever established. This is why scripture says that “Levi was still in the loins of Abraham”, and Melchizedek existed long before Levi was even born or established as priestly.

God has had me sitting in Genesis for a few weeks. It’s a book we feel like we know well, but until we dive deeply into it, do we know it well, or do we know it how someone else taught it in that one hour Sunday sermon 10 years ago? I’ve sat in Genesis for 2 weeks now and I’m barely halfway through. 

It may seem unimportant—what does Melchizedek matter to Christian’s now? Why do Adam, Noah, and Abraham’s covenant matter now? But they matter greatly. Because they are mirrored in the New Testament church—the priestly kingdom that God established. If you don’t understand Melchizedek, and the fact that he was before and outside of the established tribes of Israel, and appointed long before that, then you won’t understand the correlation between a religion of tradition versus a relationship and worship in freedom. 

It is not the levitical priest that Jesus is compared to—it is the priest of the order of Melchizedek. And that’s important. It’s important in how we believe, how we perceive, and how we advance and take dominion. 

I hope to write deeply about this soon.
There are a lot of new faces here over the last we There are a lot of new faces here over the last week due to a post that went semi-viral (about Yahweh calling back the shepherds). So I thought I’d take a minute to introduce myself, since so many of you followed me from content that is only a part of what myself and this page is about. 

My name is Amy. I am first and foremost, unapologetically, a follower and disciple of Jesus Christ. That fact motivates and touches every single other aspect of who I am and what I do. 

I am secondly a wife and mother (of 4). I’ve been married to my best friend for almost 21 years. We have seen just about every high and low, and came out stronger on the other side every single time. We walked through 9 years of secondary infertility, and suddenly God healed me and we welcomed 3 more littles to the crew in less than 7 years. Naturally. 

I grew up Baptist in the early years, then Pentecostal/charismatic. Now—I just follow Jesus. I’ve seen it all—the religion/tradition (on both sides), the good/bad/ugly, the miraculous.

My career was in media/newspapers/marketing before 2016. Then in 2016 I founded an organization called @homesteadersofamerica — where we teach people (and the kingdom) to take back the land, food and health system, the home, government and more. We are building the parallel system to the broken one. We’ve maxed out our annual October event at the current venue—6,000+ people each day.

We host the @homesteadrevivalnow events at our October event, where people encounter the Spirit of God, receive baptism and salvation, are encouraged by the word, and equipped to keep going. 

And most recently we started @thechurchstorehouse , where we are equipping the body of Christ and helping others start gatherings, church plants, refine their current church set up, and build places of refuge for times ahead. 

I’m a worshipper, entrepreneur, have lead in the church and churches, master herbalist, milk maid, author, coffee lover.

Those are just the cliff notes. 

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I pray it encourages, motivates, and spurs you on towards the everlasting goal of the kingdom. ❤️‍🔥
We’ve reached that time in the summer where it’s a We’ve reached that time in the summer where it’s almost fall but still hot outside. And we just need to see a glimpse of autumn showing up in our coffee!

So I’m just over here not using commercially processed creamers and instead using raw cream and infused maple syrups! 

I highly recommend @highlowfarm ‘s vanilla and cinnamon infused syrups, @shepherdscrookcoffee for all your farm coffee needs, and don’t forget that @showalterhomeandforge copper cream ladle 😍

You CAN buy and support your local homesteaders in EVERY way! Check out some of these folks at their vendor booths at the October @homesteadersofamerica conference!
The Senate farm bill got shut down in committee. 1 The Senate farm bill got shut down in committee. 10–11. Party line. Shocker! It’s only 🙄 been since 2018 that we could pass an actual farm bill.

Heres what happened:

The Senate Ag Committee met Thursday to mark up the Agricultural Act of 2026—Chairman Boozman’s “Farm Bill 2.0.” Two Republicans were absent: McConnell, recovering from “illness”, and Tuberville, unexplained. Their proxy votes didn’t count. Democrats voted as a bloc. It failed to advance.

The sticking point wasn’t corn, cattle, or conservation. It was SNAP—specifically, how long states get before they start paying a share of benefit costs. Boozman says one year is the most leadership will accept. Klobuchar says two. That’s the standoff. Ridiculous considering this is all because there is so much corruption in the SNAP aid program. 

Sit with that a minute. The last full five-year farm bill was signed in 2018. Everything since has been extensions and provisions stapled onto spending bills. And what’s holding up credit access, crop insurance updates, more food freedoms,  and FSA loan limits is a one-year versus two-year phase-in on a nutrition program. For real?

What it means for you: nothing changes tomorrow. Programs keep running under existing authority. But “nothing changes” is exactly the problem when input costs, land prices, food access, and rates have moved this much since 2018. Uncertainty is a cost. You just can’t put it on a balance sheet.

Boozman recessed the committee rather than adjourning—a signal he means to vote again in September. Even if it clears then, it needs 60 on the floor. Without a SNAP deal, it doesn’t have them.

The lesson underneath all of it: don’t build your food security on a bill. Build it on your ground, your neighbors, and your skills. Legislation is worth watching. It was never worth waiting on.
