About the Episode
Jason and Jim discuss the disconnect between economy and household, and share stories of the harsh realities they faced transitioning to homesteading, like dealing with angry milk cows. Jason sees the difficult work as an opportunity for grit and character development. By working together with family rather than being wage earners, Jim knows his kids well and they had formative experiences solving problems. They agree homesteading allures families because it promises connection, though the simple life is not actually easy or idyllic.

About the Podcast
Host Jason Craig shows how the primordial command from God to Adam, to till and keep the garden, applies whether you toil on a farm or in a concrete jungle. Join in and explore the connection of the interior life to agrarian life, spiritual warfare to manual labor, and the economy of salvation to local economies, and be inspired to glorify God through prayer and work alongside family and neighbors.
