I love your honesty . Only we can do what's best for our family. I b have made major changes to become self reliant. Watched many Homestead channels. To achieve the knowledge I needed to make my changes.
My husband and I saw this years ago. We left the Los Angeles are in 1968. My family nor our friends could believe we'd leave Southern California for the state of Iowa. "You can't make the money there that you can here. The winters are atrocious." The statements were true but when my father said, "Why don't you stay here, make good money and go to Iowa on vacation", I tried telling him that we wanted the full year of living rural and seeing what it was like, not just 2 weeks a year. We weren't hippies going back to the land thinking we could feed and clothes ourselves. We knew better. We worked our jobs because we needed money to live but we also bought an acreage and had animals, gardens, etc. I learned to can, freeze, dehydrate, etc. We've been here 55 years now and never been sorry we made the move. Yes, people if you want this life, you can do it. We were poor as church mice for a number of years, BUT we were also young and in love and had a ball leaning all the new and totally different things. We don't work like we did BUT we don't have to because we made the move while we were young and strong. Now we're old, 76 and 79, but it's been a great life and well worth all the effort it took to get where we are today. Not rich, absolutely not, but debt free, and still living the good life.
God bless you & your husband, I wish so many people would wake up to what's going on in our country, We live in South Texas, and everything has gone up in prices & continue daily if not weekly , I'm 58 , my husband is 60 , Thank goodness we moved to Texas almost 16 years ago , got our home & land very reasonable, now houses like ours are crazy priced and the interest rate is just as bad , People like us are having a hard time paying our electricity bills , $335 this month were 2 years ago our bills were never over $145 . Food prices , Gas , every day items have doubled if not tripled , I started preparing years ago , being raised by my wonderful grandmother who lived through the depression and my father a Vietnam veteran, I taught my children to fish , garden , hunt and save, if you can't pay with cash DONT BUY IT . OUR COUNTRY IS IN BAD SHAPE !!! ALL IN LESS THEN 2 YEARS . PLUS what our State is flipping the bill with our taxes to try & protect our country . I could go on forever. But I know you see it . I just wanted to say congratulations on n 55 years and God bless you Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏 ❤🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
@@jtharp9265 My husband said back in the 60's that the country couldn't keep on with the debt and would have to begin paying it back some day. He was wrong, I guess. All these years later and we're still spending and getting deeper in debt. Someday, surely, the chickens will come home to roost but I doubt it affects my husband and I too much. However, our children and grandchildren may have a steep price to pay. God bless you and yours too.
As someone who went through a lawsuit I’ll give you the advice that was given to us. “This too shall pass; it might feel like a kidney stone, but it will pass”
You had me at 20:18...damn right it is a cult. I get looked at like I'm crazy when I'm at work, coming in at 3am to cover shifts, talking about how I cant wait to be able to just be HOME. I get met with comments like "Well Christine some of us have to work for a living..." My response? Oh I'll work for my living, but I'll be working for MYSELF at home, sunrise to sunset I'll be working my tail off because that's what I am called to do. That day will come, I pray it every single day. Thank you for posting this. We cant wait to see you guys at HOA!
I told my 31 year old son the other day, if I had to do anything all over, I would have home schooled you and your brother. Now their kids are in public school and live miles away from me. Wish I would have done differently, but the Lord forgives me and I try to be the most Godly mom and grandmother possible at this point❤️🙏🏻
Oh Zac, I know exactly what you and Jen are going through. Been through it myself and it lasted 10 years in court before I finally won my case. I represented myself in my case. It was blood sucking my mental state dry. Sleepless nights, serious migraines every day and even lasting for days continually. The fight I have to say, was worth it. It made me tougher, stronger and much more aware of my surroundings and the zombies in it. I gained a ton of knowledge during that lawsuit. If was tough I grant you that. When it first began, I had no idea what I was doing but I learned quickly. It was like going to law school in a self taught situation but never obtaining a degree. I even had a mini stroke during the process probably caused by massive stress. I couldn’t afford a lawyer so I had to learn. No options. Mine ended up in. Trial by 12 jurors with a unanimous vote in my favor and a huge million dollar award. My case was decimation with malicious intent. That’s a tough one to win and she even had a lawyer. So buddy, if I can do it, you can too. I have faith in you that God will stand beside you in these troubled times. Just keep your faith strong and know that you and Jen are much loved and respected. I will keep you all in my prayers brother. We love you and know you will come out of this a better, stronger person.
You should know, you don’t have to stay with that lawyer. They are a dime a dz so shop around for a new one and dismiss this one if he’s not working the way you want him to. Remember, he works for YOU! When my case was over, I was exhausted so I hired a contingent lawyer to collect my award. At first it was good but as time went on during the collection process, he got cocky, lazy and greedy. It was a big mistake hiring him. I did most of the leg work and travel. He still got his and then some. If I ever have to go through it again, god forbid, I’ll learn and do it all myself. I refuse to be taken advantage of again now that I know what I didn’t know before!
My oldest son is a Senior this year and wants to finish high school at his public school and I can understand this. But I pulled my other kids out and it has been the best thing ever. It’s definitely an adjustment, but I’m seeing for myself what a difference it makes. We will keep your family in our prayers. Life never ceases to throw things at you (all of us). Keep strong. And thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Concerning the lawsuit. The sun will shine again. Not today, not tomorrow, and possibly not the next. However, the sun will shine again. So stinking proud of you and Jen and your family. Press on. BLESSINGS!!!
YES OOOHHH YES we are supporting you both and your children. Don't let go. I homeschooled mine in the 1970's The homeschooling kids turn out to be the brightest. Well rounded, besy in math, spelling, excellent readers, so stay brave. We love you all.
I agree completely with you. Please don't loose your joy. You and Jen have each other and your children and that's everything. We've all experienced really bad times and so many people want to think the worse. I've found prayer works and helps keep your joy.
You are so right! We homeschooled when it wasn’t popular with no support from family except from my father who agreed that the school system has broke down and caused family division and ignorance with government dependency. You are on the right track, keep up,the good work and keep moving forward. He is your rewarder. Hugs, love, and lots of prayers from Texas!
From my home to yours, Zach and Jenn, thanks for sharing your reality. We respect the path you've chosen and, y'all are in our prayers....and now we know to send up a prayer for Stivers Homestead, that the Lord make a way where there is no way with regard to your lingering concern. P.S. love the little pumpkins!
Herbalist here...been feeling "under the weather" the last 3 days. Took colloidal silver and my own lung tea blend. All better today! I rarely get sick at all except when i get over tired, which is what happened. Rest is just as important as what you put in your body, but sometimes life doesnt allow enough rest...like getting ready for winter!
Back in the early 80's my parents neighbor sued them. They lived out in the country on 5 acre plots. And the neighbor sued because my dad built his shop. It was to store his construction companies tools ect. They said my dad was doing commercial on a residential property. But my dad didn't work out of there. And none of his employees worked there. They worked on the job sites they were building or remodeling. This lawsuit really took a toll on my Dad. In the end. My parents win the lawsuit. And the funny thing about it all. Was my parents homeowners insurance paid all their legal fees during the lawsuit. Then after they won. The neighbor had to pay all my parents law fees. And they had to work for years to pay it all back. So karma struck again. 😊😊 check to see if your homeowners insurance will pay your law fees too.
I can totally relate. We have been in a land lawsuit for nearly 5 years now....the original judge ruled against us....however we appealed and the appeals court reversed that decision....but they are motioning to have the appeals court to reconsidered.....it is stressful. My prayers will certainly be with you.
You are so right about the Rockefeller CULT - I have stepped outside of that and I intend to stay there. I am 77 years old and, like my dear departed Father, I simply MARCH TO A DIFFERENT DRUMMER.
Yes we did, we didn’t take anything either and so far we made it. We will not take anything this go around either. People need to realize our home is our home, no one else. God Bless you and Jen and the kids. We are on you side, keep going strong. God will take care of everything.
I remember years ago when you first moved to this property speaking about some people showing up and harassing you and having to have Jen hide the kids. When you started talking about the lawsuit over the land these was jogged in my memory. Prayers for you and your family. God will see you through this.
Amen Zach. Here we go again. Taking a stand for our faith and against tyranny. Praying for a boomerang in the situation _ what the enemy means for evil will return to them. I pray protection and provision for all who call on the name of Jesus. Glad you’re on the mend. Thank you for these kind of talks.
Everything's gonna be alright. I was raised up by a momma who worried all the time. When I became an adult, I realized that the more I worried, the better my chances were that I never had anything to worry about. Now "Concern" allows you to step outside of the big hairy ball of chaos and drama. Concern isn't the same as worry. Worry consumes you. It bites, chews, and is tough to digest. Concern is a calculation of thought. It allows you to step away, and rationally find an answer, or realize there's no controlling the situation. Living in the moment is all you have. Projection is not yours. The future is not promised to us. One step, one breath, one thought, in the moment.❤
I just started this video but I want to weigh in really quick on the "shorts". I see the trend toward shorts and I enjoy them before bed time, for sure. BUT I stayed with youtube (even tho I HATE them for heavy scensoring) because there are still people I want to learn from. You guys are one of my go to channels! I'm so happy to hear you say that you won't only do shorts! ❤ Also, I'm sorry that you're going through so much. It seems like life isn't giving a lot of breaks these days. I've said a prayer that your family starts feeling the joy again. You got this, Stivers Family!
"You have to make changes at home to make YOUR life better." Wise words. ^^^ Sorry that you've had to go through all of this. I can see the fatigue and how draining it is on your spirit. I hope when you come out on the other side, you all can have a sense of peace. Don't let anyone or the lawsuit steal your joy. Also, I want to say I appreciate your channel and the effort you and Jen have put into it to help others. Thank you. 😊
So sorry you are having to jump through all the hassle with a lawsuit. Prayers for you and your family that it will be resolved soon and the property can be your forever property
Preach Brother Zach! Yes, we live in a society of zombies/sheep. As I’m sitting here with “the Vid” I just ordered my first set of tinctures from yall. Hope you feel better soon. Jenn has your back! Squeeze on each other because no matter what life throws at you, you still have each other and that’s better than any typical paycheck can provide.
We pulled our daughter out of public school in second grade, pulled her out of private school in third grade, and homeschooled after that. She’s an amazing, levelheaded young woman now. We never regretted it once.
Thank you! This is what I've been saying. Your words reminded me of one of my favorite songs, Dream Small. My motto always is "BE the change". You can't change the world, you can only change yourself. Then share what you've learned and that will radiate out into the world. Rest, feel better. You are all in my prayers.
I hate that you guys are going through this😢 People can be so mean. Just because people share THEIR LIVES, doesn’t give anyone the right to, even really, VOICE their opinion, unless they are asked too. Zack & Jen are sharing their lives, if they want to sell anything or buy anything, we should be happy they made a choice that helps THEM. PS: I am BEYOND happy we are “pure bloods” and praying for all the others🙏🙏🙏 * STAY AWAY FROM THE ZOMBIES!!!
Life is never easy for those who love the Lord. My mom called all her troubles and illnesses Growing Pains. I’m 78 and have been through my share of those Growing Pains but light and love conquers all. Be safe, happy, and keep enjoying every little moment knowing that joy eventually comes in the morning! God Bless You All!
So true Zach. Love ya'll and the channel. I just purchased my very first raised beds. I got 3 and it's just my husband and I, but I'm so excited for what I can do for myself and our little family.
Stay strong... y'all will get through this! You and Jen are honest and open. Sometimes raw but It is refreshing to see. Your quote "change happens at home" is something I have said forever. Also, I see the LOVE on your face as you talk about your children. ❤
Stay strong ..I have been there a couple of times.,people want easy pay .. at least in my experience I seen that twice!!! And yes it brings me Down when it got close….prayers for strength and guidance ✝️🙏🏽💜
Zach, you and your family bring us Joy and Hope. Your always so Honest, care-ing, encouraging and hopeful. You care. You teach. Thank You for being You. I will pray this lawsuit-whatever it is-is over soon and in your favor. Personally I can't see any reason for this to be happening to you all. Best Wishes.
Love the tree analogy! Yes I can climb out on that branch all by myself, with no family. Honestly, I aready have crawled out more than half way, I just need to keep going, not turn back out of fear. Thanks for the motivation!
So sorry you are going through this. I know how stressful and frustrating it is to go through a lawsuit that drags on for years. Know that your videos and your message help and inspire many people. Blessings to you.
We stood up last time, and we will continue to stand up as they are trying to shut us down again with mandates. Still trying to push their agenda! Change does begin at home ❤
So sorry for you and your family for what you have been going through. I pray that the outcome is in your favor. You have a wonderful and loving wife and beautiful children. God will guide you and Jenn. Praying for you all. ❤
So sorry to hear what you have been going through. I love watching your channel because you are always so upbeat, while being informative, and letting us seeing a glimpse of your life. Everyone goes through trials, and some really bring us down. I hope everything turns out the way it should, and you can move forward. Prayers to your family.
You hit the nail on the head. Change always starts with us. We've been thinking that those 'cult" folks are mentally ill. Thanks for being a voice of reason. Everything you said is Biblical... especially that"wrong will seem and right will seem wrong." Keep the faith, it's what sustains us that believe.
My husband & i left a cult we were born into nearly 25 yrs ago ( we were in our mid & late 30's...we're in our early 60s now..the very needed & necessary changes & deprogramming did NOT come easy ...but boy! Our life is so much more rewarding for esp the confidence gained in all these yrs of growth...we can all do better in being creative free thinking sovereign ppl...great analogy: 'cult' ( mindsets can be both freeing & enslaving)
I appreciate y'all so much for all to do to show and tell us about your lives. My only issue about not being able to homeschool my daughter, is that her father is no way on board with it. He doesn't understand how better it could be and I'm stuck in a situation because I don't want my daughter to be in the middle. Her dad and I are divorced so it makes it really difficult. That's my only reason why I haven't yet. Love y'all!
We are praying for you and your family! Hopefully it comes to an end and in a good way soon! We were able to go from 3 babies in a tiny bedroom all together in a MAJOR fixer up home where we had sewage in our basement every other week where our laundry was at for 5 years.... and able to move to a little under 3 acres where we have room in the house to move around! Taught myself to garden, preserve, cook and so much more! And you guys were the ones to inspire us to push and try!! ❤ This year I pulled my oldest to homeschool to see if we can do it! Because I am nervous that I'm gonna miss something important that my kids need to know! But I'm not gonna stand by and let someone else raise my kids! And I think we are already feeling confident that this is the right move so next year I'm keeping all 3 at home to homeschool them! You guys are such an inspiration. Stay strong!!! You have no idea how many lives yall have touched and changed in a good way!! ❤ there will ALWAYS be those haters who are so negative and hate their own lives that they feel they need to pull down those around them. All we can do is pray for them and know we are doing what God wants us to do! 💞 Please! Don't give up! We love yall! Happy Birthday Raylan!
Don’t give up!! Hang in there!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕 We all need to remember WE are in the MAJORITY! That’s were change happens. It’s time to dump the tea people!
Zach and Jen. Listen! You are blessed and children of the most high God. Give it to God He will fight your battles for you. He will keep you.. I love you guys so much! My heartbreaks for your situation . Hugs and kisses and lots of prayers ❤❤❤💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks for healing a bunch of hurt ankles etc with Gods gifts to us.
We just had the 19….we used 3 Oz garlic and 3 Oz horseradish puréed in the blender then cover with honey to make a paste. Let it sit on the counter for 5/6 days. Take 1 tsp 3x a day. It clears the lungs and nose right up
I can see it in your eyes, that you believe what you are saying, it is coming from your heart. Love and believe the words your are saying and people will follow. God Bless you.
Glad to hear you are on the mend. The creeping crud got ahold of us too and this time kicked my tail to the dirt. On the mend myself. Sorry to hear about the mess going on there at the property. We have to have faith, believe and claim victory over it. LOVE LOVE LOVE all the pumpkins. A bit low-key jelly of all the color changes and wonderful weather you are talking about. :) We have a few more triple digit days to go and hopefully finally some cooler weather and rain. Always have and always will stand behind y'all. Love y'all to the moon and back
I remember when you and Jen moved to this property. You had trouble with some people that you had to secure your property for your protection. I'm so sorry you guys are still dealing with some problems or lawsuits. Stay strong we love you guys and keep you in our prayers. And you are right, if you believe strongly in something. Stand strong for it.
We had a disgruntled neighbor sue us when we were building our home (ourselves) . We were there years before he built and moved next door (we were on 5 acre lots in the country). And was a long drawn out nightmare! In the end, neither of us won. It was finally after 3 or 4 years, dismissed! But it does drag you down...just the uncertainty is very mentally taxing!!!
I will pray that the "plague" heals quickly, and that the lawsuit will resolve soon. I've been through my own woes and there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Keep your heads up and I'm sending my love and two big hugs!!
Zach you and Jen are two wonderful people. Your children are beautiful and precious. Y’all are such a beautiful blessing. Stay the warriors path and GOD in your minds, hearts, and souls, and he will take care of everything. 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are very wise! God bless and protect you! Isaiah 54-17 Psalm 91 and 13 it’s definitely time for a change. It’s kind of ironic their planned demic just made folks realize how they have been enslaving us and now we are realizing the control as well and folks are waking up and are tired of it. It’s all illegal and goes against our constitutional rights. God protect us! Wished we could sit and have coffee. I am 55 and I am so thankful for this turning point. God is calling his people to stand up against this evil! This was never his plan for us. God bless you Wendy🎄

I did all of that for 25 years...homeschooled my son who is brilliant and now has a PhD and is living off his own land now.....best way to live
We homeschooled for 13 years, best decision we ever made. We produced 3 God loving, very productive, successful adults.

Was my parents homeowners insurance paid all their legal fees during the lawsuit. Then after they won. The neighbor had to pay all my parents law fees. And they had to work for years to pay it all back. So karma struck again. 😊😊 check to see if your homeowners insurance will pay your law fees too.
It took 5 years of litigation to get through all of our property issues. Good luck and lots of prayers that your situation goes well.
Sending prayers that this lawsuit will come to a beneficial conclusion for your family and that you get feeling better soon🙏
I can totally relate. We have been in a land lawsuit for nearly 5 years now....the original judge ruled against us....however we appealed and the appeals court reversed that decision....but they are motioning to have the appeals court to reconsidered.....it is stressful. My prayers will certainly be with you.
You are so right about the Rockefeller CULT - I have stepped outside of that and I intend to stay there. I am 77 years old and, like my dear departed Father, I simply MARCH TO A DIFFERENT DRUMMER.
Y’all are in my prayer list right now!!! Resolve this matter n their favor Lord!! In Jesus Name!!!
Yes we did, we didn’t take anything either and so far we made it. We will not take anything this go around either. People need to realize our home is our home, no one else. God Bless you and Jen and the kids. We are on you side, keep going strong. God will take care of everything.
I remember years ago when you first moved to this property speaking about some people showing up and harassing you and having to have Jen hide the kids. When you started talking about the lawsuit over the land these was jogged in my memory. Prayers for you and your family. God will see you through this.
Amen Zach. Here we go again. Taking a stand for our faith and against tyranny. Praying for a boomerang in the situation _ what the enemy means for evil will return to them. I pray protection and provision for all who call on the name of Jesus. Glad you’re on the mend. Thank you for these kind of talks.
Praying for you all. God is all powerful. Keep on being real
Zack I am sorry for what you and Jen are going through. I love your message here!
Everything's gonna be alright. I was raised up by a momma who worried all the time. When I became an adult, I realized that the more I worried, the better my chances were that I never had anything to worry about. Now "Concern" allows you to step outside of the big hairy ball of chaos and drama. Concern isn't the same as worry. Worry consumes you. It bites, chews, and is tough to digest. Concern is a calculation of thought. It allows you to step away, and rationally find an answer, or realize there's no controlling the situation. Living in the moment is all you have. Projection is not yours. The future is not promised to us. One step, one breath, one thought, in the moment.❤
You guys keep doing what you’re doing! The devil strikes when you’re low, stay strong! Your true fans will be there for you ❤🙏
DO NOT COMPLY! 🤠
I just started this video but I want to weigh in really quick on the "shorts". I see the trend toward shorts and I enjoy them before bed time, for sure. BUT I stayed with youtube (even tho I HATE them for heavy scensoring) because there are still people I want to learn from. You guys are one of my go to channels! I'm so happy to hear you say that you won't only do shorts! ❤ Also, I'm sorry that you're going through so much. It seems like life isn't giving a lot of breaks these days. I've said a prayer that your family starts feeling the joy again. You got this, Stivers Family!
Supportive prayers for you all, and your critters and home
DONT EVER SAY UR SICK...SAY UR HEALING...WORDS MATTER!!!
I am sorry your family is going thru the lawsuit. Keep your heads up, you all are great!
Amen! You are spot on! Break the mold!!!
Praying for y’all with this lawsuit.
"You have to make changes at home to make YOUR life better."
Wise words. ^^^
Sorry that you've had to go through all of this. I can see the fatigue and how draining it is on your spirit. I hope when you come out on the other side, you all can have a sense of peace. Don't let anyone or the lawsuit steal your joy.
Also, I want to say I appreciate your channel and the effort you and Jen have put into it to help others. Thank you. 😊
So sorry you are having to jump through all the hassle with a lawsuit. Prayers for you and your family that it will be resolved soon and the property can be your forever property
Preach Brother Zach! Yes, we live in a society of zombies/sheep. As I’m sitting here with “the Vid” I just ordered my first set of tinctures from yall. Hope you feel better soon. Jenn has your back! Squeeze on each other because no matter what life throws at you, you still have each other and that’s better than any typical paycheck can provide.
🙏🏻
We pulled our daughter out of public school in second grade, pulled her out of private school in third grade, and homeschooled after that. She’s an amazing, levelheaded young woman now. We never regretted it once.
Thank you! This is what I've been saying. Your words reminded me of one of my favorite songs, Dream Small. My motto always is "BE the change". You can't change the world, you can only change yourself. Then share what you've learned and that will radiate out into the world. Rest, feel better. You are all in my prayers.
Zach and Jen, you are such fine people. Thank you for this video. It is so important for people to follow their heart…
I'm sorry that you are under this stress and it lowers your immune response. Thankful you have Jen to help you heal.
Words of wisdom in this video
I hate that you guys are going through this😢
People can be so mean. Just because people share THEIR LIVES, doesn’t give anyone the right to, even really, VOICE their opinion, unless they are asked too. Zack & Jen are sharing their lives, if they want to sell anything or buy anything, we should be happy they made a choice that helps THEM.
PS: I am BEYOND happy we are “pure bloods” and praying for all the others🙏🙏🙏 * STAY AWAY FROM THE ZOMBIES!!!
Life is never easy for those who love the Lord. My mom called all her troubles and illnesses Growing Pains. I’m 78 and have been through my share of those Growing Pains but light and love conquers all. Be safe, happy, and keep enjoying every little moment knowing that joy eventually comes in the morning! God Bless You All!
Amen NO FEAR!🙏 No weapon formed against us shall prosper! 🙏
So true Zach. Love ya'll and the channel. I just purchased my very first raised beds. I got 3 and it's just my husband and I, but I'm so excited for what I can do for myself and our little family.
Amen....glad you can put into words what a great number of people feel.!!!! Keep on keepin on!!!
Sending much love and many prayers. You are so spot on “Change starts at home”. 🥰
Stay strong... y'all will get through this! You and Jen are honest and open. Sometimes raw but It is refreshing to see. Your quote "change happens at home" is something I have said forever.
Also, I see the LOVE on your face as you talk about your children. ❤
Thanks for the Truth Talk! Yes, we need to break out of the Roosevelt model. Good luck in your lawsuit!
Stay strong ..I have been there a couple of times.,people want easy pay .. at least in my experience I seen that twice!!!
And yes it brings me Down when it got close….prayers for strength and guidance ✝️🙏🏽💜
Zach, you and your family bring us Joy and Hope. Your always so Honest, care-ing, encouraging and hopeful. You care. You teach. Thank You for being You. I will pray this lawsuit-whatever it is-is over soon and in your favor. Personally I can't see any reason for this to be happening to you all. Best Wishes.
🦋🙏🎈
You are not alone, good people are attacked from all angles. I am sorry you are going through this but thank you for sharing. Stand strong together.
Prayers are going up for you all. 🙏 Just take it day by day. Thanks for all you do to inform us.
Amen, thanks for saying it like it is :) I just quit my job and have never been happier. My garden looks great :) thanks for the videos.
#1. LOVE the blue pumpkins!
#2.
I am SOOOO sorry that you are experiencing a lawsuit.
Praying for a great outcome for your family.
Love you guys…..
I love this!!! Keep being passionate about the things that are important.
Love the tree analogy! Yes I can climb out on that branch all by myself, with no family. Honestly, I aready have crawled out more than half way, I just need to keep going, not turn back out of fear. Thanks for the motivation!
So sorry you are going through this. I know how stressful and frustrating it is to go through a lawsuit that drags on for years. Know that your videos and your message help and inspire many people. Blessings to you.
We stood up last time, and we will continue to stand up as they are trying to shut us down again with mandates. Still trying to push their agenda! Change does begin at home ❤
So sorry for you and your family for what you have been going through. I pray that the outcome is in your favor. You have a wonderful and loving wife and beautiful children. God will guide you and Jenn. Praying for you all. ❤
Oh I’m so sorry y’all have to go through this. We will be praying! God will vindicate you ❤
So sorry to hear what you have been going through. I love watching your channel because you are always so upbeat, while being informative, and letting us seeing a glimpse of your life. Everyone goes through trials, and some really bring us down. I hope everything turns out the way it should, and you can move forward. Prayers to your family.
You hit the nail on the head. Change always starts with us. We've been thinking that those 'cult" folks are mentally ill. Thanks for being a voice of reason. Everything you said is Biblical... especially that"wrong will seem and right will seem wrong." Keep the faith, it's what sustains us that believe.
My husband & i left a cult we were born into nearly 25 yrs ago ( we were in our mid & late 30's...we're in our early 60s now..the very needed & necessary changes & deprogramming did NOT come easy ...but boy! Our life is so much more rewarding for esp the confidence gained in all these yrs of growth...we can all do better in being creative free thinking sovereign ppl...great analogy: 'cult' ( mindsets can be both freeing & enslaving)
I appreciate y'all so much for all to do to show and tell us about your lives. My only issue about not being able to homeschool my daughter, is that her father is no way on board with it. He doesn't understand how better it could be and I'm stuck in a situation because I don't want my daughter to be in the middle. Her dad and I are divorced so it makes it really difficult. That's my only reason why I haven't yet. Love y'all!
We are praying for you and your family! Hopefully it comes to an end and in a good way soon! We were able to go from 3 babies in a tiny bedroom all together in a MAJOR fixer up home where we had sewage in our basement every other week where our laundry was at for 5 years.... and able to move to a little under 3 acres where we have room in the house to move around! Taught myself to garden, preserve, cook and so much more! And you guys were the ones to inspire us to push and try!! ❤ This year I pulled my oldest to homeschool to see if we can do it! Because I am nervous that I'm gonna miss something important that my kids need to know! But I'm not gonna stand by and let someone else raise my kids! And I think we are already feeling confident that this is the right move so next year I'm keeping all 3 at home to homeschool them! You guys are such an inspiration. Stay strong!!! You have no idea how many lives yall have touched and changed in a good way!! ❤ there will ALWAYS be those haters who are so negative and hate their own lives that they feel they need to pull down those around them. All we can do is pray for them and know we are doing what God wants us to do! 💞 Please! Don't give up! We love yall! Happy Birthday Raylan!
Thank you so much, I needed this today! 🙏
I hope you feel completely better soon! 😊
Don’t give up!! Hang in there!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
We all need to remember WE are in the MAJORITY! That’s were change happens. It’s time to dump the tea people!
This makes me really sad for you all !! Prayers for the Stivers family!! You are Loved!!
Zach and Jen. Listen! You are blessed and children of the most high God. Give it to God He will fight your battles for you. He will keep you.. I love you guys so much! My heartbreaks for your situation
. Hugs and kisses and lots of prayers ❤❤❤💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks for healing a bunch of hurt ankles etc with Gods gifts to us.
Spot on, brother! BTW, use a neti pot to clear your sinuses. It's fast, easy and works wonderfully. Blessings in Christ!
God Bless this dear family! Thanks for the visit and wisdom Zac. 🙏🏻✝️💟🙂👍
We just had the 19….we used 3 Oz garlic and 3 Oz horseradish puréed in the blender then cover with honey to make a paste. Let it sit on the counter for 5/6 days. Take 1 tsp 3x a day. It clears the lungs and nose right up
I can see it in your eyes, that you believe what you are saying, it is coming from your heart. Love and believe the words your are saying and people will follow. God Bless you.
Glad to hear you are on the mend. The creeping crud got ahold of us too and this time kicked my tail to the dirt. On the mend myself. Sorry to hear about the mess going on there at the property. We have to have faith, believe and claim victory over it. LOVE LOVE LOVE all the pumpkins. A bit low-key jelly of all the color changes and wonderful weather you are talking about. :) We have a few more triple digit days to go and hopefully finally some cooler weather and rain. Always have and always will stand behind y'all. Love y'all to the moon and back
I remember when you and Jen moved to this property. You had trouble with some people that you had to secure your property for your protection. I'm so sorry you guys are still dealing with some problems or lawsuits. Stay strong we love you guys and keep you in our prayers. And you are right, if you believe strongly in something. Stand strong for it.
It was wonderful hearing from a man with common sense, God keep you and your family safe. Love from Canada ❤
We had a disgruntled neighbor sue us when we were building our home (ourselves) . We were there years before he built and moved next door (we were on 5 acre lots in the country). And was a long drawn out nightmare! In the end, neither of us won. It was finally after 3 or 4 years, dismissed! But it does drag you down...just the uncertainty is very mentally taxing!!!
Keep praying. Stay strong. Will pray for you and your family.
Hopeful better times are ahead for y’all. May this lawsuit be successfully resolved in your favor. Always enjoy seeing your family grow and thrive.
Dang good topic on this video. I'm not in that cult either. Didn't take the juice either. I stand with this community and freethinkers
Thanks for sharing truth praying for y’all 🙏🎺🕊️🪔🙌🏾🕊️
I will pray that the "plague" heals quickly, and that the lawsuit will resolve soon. I've been through my own woes and there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Keep your heads up and I'm sending my love and two big hugs!!
Prayers for the life stress to end soon. We're here for you. Keep the faith.
I live in Kentucky too Western Kentucky Providence, Ky. Hope you feel better soon and prayers everything goes good for you in your lawsuit.
Totally agree with everything you said.
I'm glad you are going to continue long videos. I stopped several homesteads because of them going to shorts.
Thank you. Well said. God Bless
Great Video, Keep Pushing Forward, It All Starts at Home
Love, hugs and prayers! ❤
Zach you and Jen are two wonderful people. Your children are beautiful and precious. Y’all are such a beautiful blessing. Stay the warriors path and GOD in your minds, hearts, and souls, and he will take care of everything. 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are very wise! God bless and protect you! Isaiah 54-17 Psalm 91 and 13 it’s definitely time for a change. It’s kind of ironic their planned demic just made folks realize how they have been enslaving us and now we are realizing the control as well and folks are waking up and are tired of it. It’s all illegal and goes against our constitutional rights. God protect us! Wished we could sit and have coffee. I am 55 and I am so thankful for this turning point. God is calling his people to stand up against this evil! This was never his plan for us. God bless you Wendy🎄
Please don’t miss the joy of today, hour by hour.
Thank you for sharing! What a great message. Feel better soon!
