Episode Details

For the past several months, I've felt the Lord laying a message on my heart: Get your house in order.

For our family, that has meant deepening our relationship with Him and taking a fresh look at how we're caring for our home and pantry.

I'm not predicting a catastrophe, and I don't believe we're called to live in fear. But I do believe there's wisdom in paying attention, preparing with intention, and being good stewards of what God has given us.

In this episode, I'm sharing: 

- 🏡 What getting my house in order means for my faith, home, and pantry

- 🌱 Lessons from my dad's Great Depression childhood about preparing with wisdom

- ✝️ Trusting God's provision and seeking His direction without fear

- 🥫 How I'm evaluating our pantry and food storage

- 🤍 Why our family has intentionally created more margin and rest

- 🙏 The importance of listening when God puts something on your heart

This isn't about fear. It's about asking the Lord where we need to grow, what we need to prepare, and where we may have become too comfortable or dependent. My hope is that this episode encourages you to prayerfully look at your own home, faith, food supply, and family and ask: Is there anything I've been putting off that I need to take care of now?
