Summary
Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode 22 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a YouTube devotional throwback in podcast form. The original video is called “What's that in your hand? (Responding to the Alarm).” The truth remains that there's no better time than now to look at what's in your hand, then ask yourself what you can do with what you already have.
It's so easy to look at what others are doing or what others have and become discontent with where we are, but that's the last thing the Lord wants for us. Let’s all be like Moses and use the "staff" that's in our hands to do great things right where we are!

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge podcast. My name is Jessica Sowers. I am your host. My friends call me Jess, and I hope you will too. I'm so glad that you're here today. Here on our podcast, we talk about all things homesteading, gardening, raising animals, the love of food, what to do with it, |
| 0:23.1 | how to preserve it, and just generally raising a family in a mindful way, being mindful of your |
| 0:29.3 | relationship with each other and with the earth. And honestly, we bump off into some other |
| 0:35.0 | topics as well sometimes. Now, we put new content up every Wednesday here on the podcast, and we also post regularly |
| 0:43.6 | on our YouTube channel, Roots and Refuge Farm, as well as posting regular blog posts on our |
| 0:48.8 | blog, Roots and Refuge.com. |
| 0:51.3 | However, right now we're working on backlogging some podcasts here, which actually first appeared as videos on our channel. |
| 1:00.0 | I wanted to make these available to you guys so you could listen to them more conveniently, as well as just putting them on another platform, maybe for people who don't use YouTube. |
| 1:16.3 | Today we have an audio track from a video that originally aired on YouTube in January of 2023. |
| 1:21.9 | It is a devotional video where I am talking from the place of my Christian faith and something that I have felt very applicable for the time that we're currently in. |
| 1:27.7 | And this is called, what's that in your hand, responding to the alarm? |
| 1:31.8 | I know a lot of people are feeling an urgency at this point to grow food. |
| 1:35.2 | And I wanted to be able to share some things that have really been on my heart |
| 1:39.5 | in feeling that same sense of urgency. |
| 1:42.5 | So I hope you guys enjoy this. |
| 1:48.0 | Hey guys, what is up? Welcome back to Roots and Refuge Farm. My name is Jessica Sowers if you're new here. I'm so glad you're here if you're not new here. |
| 1:52.0 | I'm also glad you're here. I actually walked out to my greenhouse to film a completely different video |
| 1:58.0 | for brand new gardeners and I sat down and stumbled over my words |
| 2:04.6 | and stopped and restarted, stopped and restarted, and stopped and restarted, which is not |
| 2:08.4 | something I typically do when talking about intro to gardening stuff. And I stopped and just took |
| 2:14.4 | a second, just prayed, which is what I usually do, whenever I'm kind of |
| 2:19.1 | bumbling over myself, whenever I'm feeling kind of tangled inside as I'll just stop and just be like, |
