Hey guys, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge podcast. My name is Jessica Sowers. If you're new here,

I'm so glad you're here. And if you're not new here, I am also glad you're here. Here on the

Roots and Refuge podcast, my husband Jeremiah and I talk about all sorts of things pertaining to

the homesteading and simpler life that is growing a garden, raising animals,

enjoying food, cooking it, preserving it, as well as raising a family in a mindful way,

just being mindful in general of the relationships they're having with each other and with

Earth around us. We have a YouTube channel called Roots and Refuge Farm, as well as a blog at www.witzenrefuge.com. You can find us. We have a YouTube channel called Roots and Refuge Farm, as well as a blog at www.

Roots and Refuge.com. You can find us on social media under that name. And we release new

content here on our podcast every single Wednesday. But also right now, as a little bit of a

bonus, we're backlogging some older video content that was shot

in more of a podcast style, just sitting down and kind of talking long format, just because we

wanted to make it available to you guys as well on this platform for the ease of listening.

Today, we have one of those. This is a video that originally aired in June of 2022 on YouTube.

It is devotional in nature. We are Christians and we share our Christian walk in a way that we just want to share our experience.

So much of what we're doing on the homestead is because of the conviction that has come in our prayer

life and truly what we believe is the leading of the Lord for such a time as this. So this video is

called The Leaves are Green and it is one that is still very dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy it.

Hello. What is up, guys?

Welcome back to Roots for Refuge Farm.
