Have you ever stood in your garden, looked at what died or never grew, and thought — maybe this life just isn't for me?
Have you made a mistake on the homestead — spent the wrong money, planted at the wrong time, lost something you worked hard for — and let that failure become the story you tell yourself about whether you belong here?
Are you carrying the quiet weight of feeling like you've messed up too many times to keep going?
In this episode, I'm walking you through five real gardening mistakes that most beginner homesteaders make — and exactly how to fix them — so you can stop spinning your wheels and start seeing fruit from your land. But more than that, I'm sharing the story of a man in Scripture who made one of the most devastating failures recorded in the entire Bible, and how Jesus didn't walk away from him. He showed up on the shoreline, made him breakfast, and gave him his purpose back — three times over.
If you've ever felt disqualified by your mistakes, this episode is for you. Because your failed garden season, your costly homestead mistake, your worst year yet — none of it is the end of your story. It might just be the beginning of the best part.

If your garden is failing… your chickens aren’t producing… or you feel like you’ve completely lost motivation on your homestead journey—this episode is for you.
Today we’re talking about the real, raw truth behind why so many beginner homesteads struggle—and what God has been teaching me through seasons of failure, loss, and starting over. From gardens that didn’t grow to rebuilding after losing everything, this episode is a faith-filled reminder that just because it’s hard doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. We’re diving into common beginner gardening mistakes, chicken-raising frustrations, and the deeper heart issue of burnout, comparison, and discouragement.
With it being Palm Sunday, we reflect on Jesus entering humbly on a donkey—and how God often works in the slow, unseen, and “imperfect” seasons of our lives. If you’ve been searching for answers like why your garden isn’t growing, why your chickens aren’t laying, how to stay motivated homesteading, or how to start over after failure—this episode will encourage you, equip you, and point you back to Christ.

Is grocery store meat actually harming your health? In this episode, we’re breaking down the truth about industrial farming, pesticides, herbicides, nutrient loss in modern food, and what’s really happening inside commercial poultry, beef, pork, and egg production. We’re talking CAFO systems, omega-3 vs omega-6 imbalance, declining soil nutrients, pesticide residue reality, and why today’s meat and vegetables are not what they were 50 years ago. If you’ve ever questioned what’s in your chicken, why egg yolks look pale, or why food feels less nourishing than it used to, this episode will open your eyes in a fact-based, faith-rooted way.
But this isn’t fear-based — it’s stewardship-based. We’re also sharing how you can step away from the industrial food system, raise pasture raised chickens at home, and reclaim your family’s food the way God intended. And BIG news: our Lost Sheep Farm Pasture Poultry Program waitlist is now open! If you’re ready to raise your own meat birds with step-by-step guidance (including live 1-on-1 support on butcher day), this is your sign to take action. Let’s return to real food, real nutrients, and real biblical stewardship — together.

Are you juggling faith, family, chickens, gardens, chores, and daily life — and already feeling exhausted before you even begin?
You are not alone — and friend, there is a better way.
Homesteading isn’t just about what you do… it’s about why you do it and who your foundation is built on.
In this episode of Chickens and Farming Made Easy, we go deep on what it means to build a God-centered homestead foundation — a foundation that will sustain you through burnout, mistakes, loss, and unexpected storms.
Inside this episode we explore:
✔️ Why a biblical foundation matters more than productivity✔️ How stewardship of your land and animals is obedience to God✔️ Why homesteading should be a family discipleship journey✔️ The peace that comes when your work is first surrendered in prayer✔️ How God carried us through starting over after the flood — and why “BUT GOD” changes everything✔️ Why seeking knowledge for the Kingdom matters as much as farming know-how
If you’re a Christian mom, beginner homesteader, or faith-led farm dreamer, this episode will encourage you to stop striving in your own strength and start building your life and homestead on the Rock — so when the storms come, you will stand.
Chickens and gardens are seasonal…But a heavenly foundation lasts forever.

Cold weather can make even experienced chicken keepers panic. If you’ve been asking “Will my chickens freeze?”, “Do chickens need heat in winter?”, or “Am I doing enough right now?” — you are not alone. Sudden drops in temperature trigger fear, confusion, and conflicting advice, especially for backyard chicken owners trying to do the right thing.
I built a working homestead from scratch that now pays for itself. I started with a backyard flock and a dream and grew it into a 20-acre operation with over 4,000 birds, multiple livestock, and self-serve farm stands running year-round. We even completely rebuilt in a YEAR after a flood cam and wiped out everything from our flocks to our gardens.  All while raising four kids, staying present in my marriage, and keeping my relationship with Jesus at the center of every single decision.

Many new homesteaders quit in the first year — not because they don’t love homesteading, but because they start overwhelmed, overcommitted, and trying to do everything at once. In this episode, we break down the real reasons homesteaders burn out in year one and how to start smarter with faith, planning, and realistic expectations.
