Food Supply Crisis? Actions You Can Take
There is an attack on the food supply that aligns with some of the nefarious goals of powerful people and organizations. It’s not a lack of trust in the Lord to take action when there are pending challenges coming, it’s wisdom. Regardless of your situation, there are things you can do. Isaac and Angie Tolpin talk about simple steps toward preserving the quality of your family's food supply regardless of the growing corruption of food. We live in a world where there are valid concerns parents should think about with lab-grown meat that has been approved in the US, GMOs, and of course the dangers of the future meat supply.
We can’t get caught off-guard but instead, do what we can do now. We believe it’s essential for children to grow up learning how to supply their own families in the future with safe food too. Watching and participating with you is the best training.

Tough Kid Conversations, Hormones, & Angie’s Big Changes
Hormones are a big conversation but an important one for parents. Every child is impacted by the changes that occur in their bodies as they grow, but families are also impacted by the hormones of Mom and Dad as well. While this conversation might seem timely in this day and age, it’s always been a needed conversation for parents. We must discipline our children to have a healthy and biblical view of the human body, and that requires parental intervention in a culture that is rampantly teaching opposing views. Join Isaac and Angie as they tackle a diverse topic with grace and understanding while also sharing biblical truths and things they have learned along the way.
