#5: Health Stewardship to Soil Stewardship, Interview with Dr. Bing Henderson
The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast
06/20/19 • 51 min
In this episode I am honored to have as my guest Dr. Bing Henderson. He is a farmer, Christ-follower, and physician. Formerly serving as a medical missionary, Dr. Bing now manages Shepherds Bridge Farm where they raise sheep and hay. He is passionate about bringing his faith in Jesus to bear in both health stewardship and soil stewardship. In his own words:
"We are what we eat and what we eat eats.We need to be aware of what we
subject our bodies to and really think about where the food we eat comes from,
One of my passions is to bring people into a greater awareness of where their
food comes from, and to quote Socrates: we should let our food be our
medicine."
You can connect with Dr. Bing at www.shepherdsbridge.org, or www.shepherdsbridgefarm.com.
Sustainable on 1/4 Acre?
The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast
02/23/21 • 54 min
How much land do you need to have a profitable farm operation? On this podcast episode I share some lessons we have learned that enabled our 1/4 acre market garden to be more profitable than when we cultivated more land. Whether you have access to a lot of land or just a little, I hope you will learn something from this session that will help you more fully utilize what you have, be more profitable, and have greater JOY!

#10: Christian Permaculture? Reclaiming Permaculture as Followers of Jesus
The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast
09/11/19 • 35 min
Permaculture is a increasingly popular topic among homesteaders, gardeners, farmers, and social reformers. It refers to a design science that uses natural patterns and principles to create well-thought out, productive, and efficient examples of land stewardship. Swales, herb spiral beds, compost, keylines, companion planting, no-till gardening, zone-layout, multi-function elements, utilization of perennials for food production, and integration of animals and crops are some of the things that come to mind when people think of permaculture.
However, there are also some other things that are often associated with permaculture: new-age thinking, nature worship, evolution, eastern spiritualism, relative morality, etc. As Christians seeking to honor God through agriculture, many of us are attracted to the practical aspects of permaculture, but how do we respond to the anti-Christian perspectives that often go along with it?
Is the permaculture movement something Christians should learn from?
In this episode I talk with Erik Lutz of Harmony Hillside. Erik is a Christian homesteader and a member of Redeeming the Dirt Academy who recently completed a Permaculture Design Course (PDC). We discuss the benefits of permaculture and our perspectives of how we as Christians should view/utilize it.

Realistic Off-Grid Solutions for Families and Communities with Kemble Hildreth of Acorn Land Labs
The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast
08/07/23 • 84 min
In the United States most of us receive our daily necessities of food, water, energy, shelter and sanitation from the 'grid', a complex system of production and distribution. This grid is a historically unprecedented economic system that is characterized by specialization, centralization, complication, and communication. It is incredible in its ability to create and supply a wide range of services and products. However, it also creates a society of consumers who don't need many practical skills or relationships with local people. Many of us would likely die if the fragility of the 'grid' resulted in its total or partial collapse if the conditions of peace and stability it relies on disappears. But even if it doesn't collapse, the benefits of decreasing dependency on that grid can help us create families and communities that experience greater freedom and health. In this podcast episode I talk with Kemble Hildreth of Acorn Land Labs about practical thoughts and simple solutions for decreasing our dependency on unhealthy, vulnerable industrial systems.
"Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues."
Revelation 18:4 ESV

The Battle to Control Food and Farming with Curtis Bowers
The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast
01/16/24 • 69 min
Food and farming matters to God because they are part of his design and creation and impact the life and health of every person on earth. But Satan also cares, because the control of food and farming brings opportunities and power for his agenda of death, theft, and slavery. As we seek to be faithful to steward the land and serve others, it is important that we understand the battle we live in so we can accurately walk in truth and live effective lives. In this episode I talk with filmmaker and speaker Curtis Bowers about the dangers we face in this day and age, the joy of walking in radical obedience to God, and the opportunities we have as Christian land stewards.
I highly recommend that you check out Curtis' resources and consider subscribing to his weekly newsletter.

Building a Gardening Team Helps Foster Community and Create More Gardens
The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast

It can be exciting to think about using gardens to serve and teach people in our community. But it can also be daunting. The good news is that we aren't designed to do it alone! In this episode I do a panel interview with members of the leadership team of the Well-Watered Gardens of Johnson County . They have created a wonderful model of collaborating with local organizations, volunteers, and churches to impact their community through a half dozen Well-Watered Gardens. I hope that their story will inspire you to gather your own team!

The Local Food System and Coronavirus, Interview with Joel Salatin
The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast
09/02/20 • 42 min
In the space of a few short months the lock downs and food supply disruptions due to Covid-19 have made a huge impact on the demand for locally produced food. It has also shown the fragility of our efficient, but un-resilient, industrial food supply. In this interview with Joel Salatin we talk about how the last few months have changed the local food system, the important role Christian food producers have in this time, and practical things we can be doing to weather hard times ahead.
A Time of Dangerous Opportunity
The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast
08/25/20 • 18 min
Covid-19, civil unrest, political chaos . . . we definitely live in a time of crisis. But God is not surprised by any of this and we have an opportunity to join Jesus in his adventure of bringing hope and healing to the hurting. As Christian farmers and gardeners we have an important and urgent role to share the love of Jesus by serving and equipping our communities to be more resilient in times of disruption. This episode is an introduction to a series of podcasts I hope to create that will share ways we can respond to the times we live in and prepare to be used by God in the future.
Using No-Till to Maximize Your Production!
The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast
06/18/21 • 58 min
Plowing and tilling has become such a part of farming and gardening that many of us can't imagine how you would prepare a garden or grow crops any other way. But in this episode I share how caring for the soil God's way and mimicing his models in creation can have great benefit and result in greater profit.
