Organ donation is always a universal good... right? This conversation is the type that has the potential to completely challenge previously held beliefs. Are brain-dead patients TRULY brain dead? Are the organs being harvested from someone who REALLY has no life left in them? Heidi Klessig, MD, tells us her own story and how she came to have her own beliefs challenged, and explains why she is now dedicated to the informed consent of all registered organ donors, those considering donating their o...

In this episode, Cecily and Rita sit down to chat about entering new seasons, the start of the homeschool year, and the true and unique blessing of parenting in this cultural moment.

There's a growing movement within the Health Freedom community to stop participating in elections. Leah Wilson's daily work with Stand for Health Freedom daily allows her to powerfully articulate on the topic. She sees the results of voting/voter involvement in a way others who are casually involved may not. We'll discuss: The power of involvement in local elections but also, do national elections still matter? Common repeated statements surrounding voting... they're catchy, but are they true? ....

Investors with trillions of dollars and nothing to do with farming could end up controlling how food is produced start, to finish. More Bill Gates shenanigans... the guy will develop a vaccine for absolutely everything. Is oil actually a finite resource? Everything we have currently was developed from resources we've always had... think about it and more from White Oak Pastures.

Today we talk to the owners of 2 dairy farms - a raw milk micro dairy in Tennessee & an organic dairy farmer and cheese processor in BC, Canada. We invited a conventional dairy farmer to add perspective, but they declined. There’s a lot of buzz on the internet about raw milk but that’s not the whole story. We explain pasteurization, homogenization, nutritional value, how cows are fed & we discuss hormone use. In this series, we’re taking you deep into the complicated world of your food s...

You’ve likely heard that Bill Gates is the largest farmland owner in the USA. That creates a lot of buzz and, quite frankly, it scares people. But that’s usually where the conversation ends. In this episode, we cover the barriers to people actually farming the land and hanging onto it. Today we talk to Natasha Cox, the regional Vice President of farm Credit mid-America, Rita’s husband, Levi Rogers, who is a 6th generation farmer, and Mary Miller a United States Congresswoman.

We’re taking you deep into the complicated world of your food supply. Whether it’s a steak, salad or slice of bread… there’s a lot happening in the process of getting what you eat to your table and you should know about it. Regenerative farming is a catching phrase. It sounds wonderful but what does it mean? And walked out, what does it actually look like for both farmers and consumers?

4 years ago, the world turned upside down… and it hasn’t really righted itself.

Are our human desires too strong? Or too weak? Are the things that feel like drudgery able to turn into something that we love and find satisfaction in? What is the ultimate reward we are seeking, and are we getting distracted by the things that are just pointers to that ultimate reward? Why do we all desire to be praised? You may be relieved to hear that that desire stems from something much more pure than it often manifests. And there are no ordinary people… there are only immortals. Choose ca...

We’re talking Trump’s interesting marketing, and a “pin-up” calendar for conservative dads has us wanting to remind everyone that conservative is not a synonym for Christian.

The massive cultural shift and erosion of our moral foundation IS the revolution… what we need is an effective counter-revolution.
