The Kinnard Homestead Tim and Amy Kinnard

Speaking at the 2023 Arkansas Homesteading Conference hosted at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds in Rison, Arkansas, Tim presents a talk on the subject of "full-time homesteading" sharing his family's strategic 10-year journey from the office to the homestead.

Are you quick to brag about your circumstances when you experience a "streak of good fortune," or to complain when you encounter a "turn of misfortune?"  You would be wise to wait and see where the Lord leads you next.  In this episode, Tim discusses the ancient Chinese proverb about the man who lost his horse and reminds listeners of the related biblical wisdom of always looking to God as the final author of our life's story.

It doesn’t matter if you run a Fortune 500 company or a small produce stand at your local farmer’s market.  Those who typically succeed in reaching their goals will build a “force of momentum” in their work that is powerful enough to propel them forward.  In this episode, Tim discusses an illustration in Jim Collins’ book “Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Other’s Don’t” and encourages listeners not to give up in their own goals for the future, but to keep “spinning the flywheel” until their own momentum-breakthrough finally happens.

Every time you turn on the news it seems we are confronted with another headline suggesting the world is teetering one step closer to total corruption and self-annihilation.  How should the Christian respond to all the dangers the world faces, including those dangers of a cataclysmic nature?

In this episode, Tim discusses two podcast episodes presented by John Piper in his series “Ask Pastor John” related to the question of prepping for doomsday. 

Have you ever left your house before catching something embarrassing about your appearance?  Maybe it was food stuck in your teeth, or toilet paper stuck to your shoe, or a zipper unzipped, or a button unbuttoned?  Chances are you have.   In this episode, Tim discusses the real and universal struggle of personal blind spots, both physically and spiritually

If you haven't noticed, Christianity is under attack.  In some states, it's getting so bad that Christians are packing their bags and moving to conservative safe havens.  In this episode, Tim discusses statements made by Pastor Doug Wilson related to his advice for Christians to evaluate their situation and consider how they might better position themselves to defend (and advance!) the Gospel cause.
