Ham Radio, Resilient Community Communication

12/03/20 • 27 min

We live in an era of communication unprecedented in recent history. Through our phones we can literally talk to people around the globe anytime we want for practically free! But as we wrap up our series on preparing for times of crisis, I want to share briefly about developing an alternative communication option that we can use for our families and communities. In this episode I give some personal updates before describing a little about Ham (or Amateur) Radio and why my wife and I recently got our licenses and several radios in order to have a more resilient form of local communication.

Grid Electricity - Appreciating it, but Deceasing our Dependency

Send us a text

In the US and other developed countries it is very easy to assume access to grid electricity on our farms and homestead. But are we able to continue operating when it’s not available for short or long periods of time? Should we set up an off grid System to produce our own electricity? Or should we use electricity at all? My wife Dorothy and I discuss our low grid approach for appreciating but not depending on electricity in order to be in a better position to help others in times of crisis.

Often our biggest struggle as we seek to excel in agriculture isn't our lack of practical knowledge or skill, but finding the time to apply what we know. Juggling everything that needs to be done on the farm can be overwhelming and rob us of the joy we desire to experience.

So how do we steward the time God has given us? Do we really have enough time for everything he has given us to do?

In this audio excerpt from the Faithfully Focused Farmer Masterclass I am going to walk you through the first of 3 Simple Steps that will help you go from striving and overwhelmed with your time management to joyfully and faithfully focused!
