A Care Bear hoodie might not look like a doorway to transformation, but ours opened into a warm, candid journey through sisterhood, faith, and the kind of gardening that heals a heart. We invited Rachel—“Pretty Rachy,” the Dragonfly Princess—into a space where playful teasing gave way to the stories that shape us: a mother whose love is loud, a brother who refused to let a Christmas Eve invitation go, and a church home that feels like a bench where your people always save you a seat.

You’ll hear how stepping away from religion after hurt didn’t end the conversation with God, and how the way back arrived in boots and mittens—warming a car, packing a baby bag, clearing a snowy path. We talk about breath as prayer, Yahweh on the inhale and exhale, and the simple habits that change a day: whispering blessings when an ambulance goes by, asking for love when yours runs thin, and letting joy be the signpost that you’re on the right road. No pressure, no preaching—just a lived faith that’s steady, humble, and real.

The garden threads everything together. Seed saving becomes a lesson in abundance and reciprocity. We swap practical tips—how to test zinnias for cutting, why dividing dahlias is easier in spring, what hummingbirds actually visit—and dream up Friday night clipping sessions, bouquets with hemp, and a field that feeds more than the eye. Craft shows up in unexpected places: hand-painted nails that carry quiet ministry, macrame lessons with mom, and the holy permission to keep it simple. By the end, the theme is clear: show up for each other, water early, share seeds, and let love get loud.

A field full of fragrant buds, a hive on the brink, and a word that can change a life—redeemed. This episode moves from dirt-under-the-fingernails farm work to a clear-eyed push for smarter hemp laws in Wisconsin, then lands in the quiet power of faith, testimony, and music as service.

We start with harvest—the short, ecstatic window when hemp colas are ripe and resinous. Along the way, we unpack the endocannabinoid system in plain English and share real, practical ways people use plant medicine: oils, topicals, edibles, smokables. From there, we head to Milwaukee, where policymakers debate hemp-derived cannabinoid (HDC) rules. I share why the proposed three-tier alcohol-style model could crush small growers, and outline a better path: a tier zero exemption for farmers, streamlined testing and labeling, and a sensible direct-sales threshold that protects consumers without erasing farm-to-table operations. Forty states have moved forward; it’s time to stop treating Wisconsin like an island.

Back on the farm, winter prep is love made visible. Perennials move into the hoop house. Garlic cloves get bone meal and a tight tuck in raised beds. A lost beehive is carefully recovered from yellow jackets and mice, while the remaining colony gets mite treatment, wind guards, and sugar feed. Then the theme turns inward. Redeemed becomes a mantra—freedom from the power of sin, courage to begin again. A gifted study Bible arrives at just the right moment, a reminder that grace often wears a friend’s face. I invite you to share your testimony, because spoken truth heals the room.

Looking ahead, season two goes mobile to feature our “high vibe tribe”—family, healers, and retail partners doing good work in their communities. And I’m stepping into Free the Music Ministry to write honest, conscious songs that point to Jesus and honor the land. If you’re nearby, consider joining us at New Life Church in West Bend for worship that lingers in your week like a good refrain.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review—then tell me: what testimony are you ready to speak out loud today?

What happens when a ten-year-old leads his mom back to church? We sat down with Nixon for our very first interview, and what unfolds is a mix of kid joy, honest faith, and the kind of questions adults are often afraid to ask. From a viral “What’s up, my mammals?” moment at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to a preschool pastor who made Jesus feel close and kind, Nixon shows how curiosity can change a family’s path.

We share a short prayer, then wander through the real stuff: losing a beehive to hornets and cold, suiting up to tend the remaining colony, and finding calm with a healing balm after stings. Nixon opens up about school, youth football, memes, and why SpongeBob still wins Halloween. I talk about why hemp matters to me—how plant medicine, homestead life, and time outdoors align with purpose—and we balance it with a practical look at when pills help and when gentle remedies do the job. Along the way, we face a tender goodbye as a beloved teammate steps away to care for family, and we ask how to keep showing up when a piece of the heart goes missing.

The most moving moments are Nixon’s big God questions: Why send Jesus to die? Did God ever sin? What do floods and justice mean for us now? We don’t force neat answers. We hold space, listen, and let faith grow through wonder. If you’re drawn to family faith journeys, beekeeping basics, hemp wellness, or the daily grit of raising kids who love both math and memes, this one will feel like a warm ride home with the windows down.

If this conversation made you think or smile, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. And if you loved Nixon’s energy, subscribe to his channel, Stay Cool—then tell us: what’s one question you’d ask God today?
