    Episode 74 Where Faith Takes Root

    In this episode of "Hope in the Good Life", Nolan Lemna shares how his faith inspired a project connecting Nebraska farmers with families experiencing food insecurity. Through a $200,000 Nebraska Environmental Trust grant, Nolan is helping bring locally produced food to families while encouraging farmers to care for the soil, water and wildlife God has entrusted to us. He also reflects on how working the land has deepened his own faith and revealed another way to encounter God in the quiet.
