    When the Land Gets a Sabbath

    What if one of God's most important agricultural commands was to stop farming? In Exodus and Leviticus, God instructed the Israelites to work their land for six years, but on the seventh year, to allow it to rest. Why would God command an entire year without normal planting or harvesting? And what does that teach us about faith, obedience, stewardship, and the way we manage His creation today? In this episode of Caretakers of Creation, Chris explores the biblical Sabbath year and its connection to modern regenerative agriculture. From soil health and grazing recovery to the pressures of constant productivity, we examine how God's instructions reveal the importance of rest, responsible management, and trusting His provision. We'll also explore what happened when Israel disregarded God's commands and how the consequences remind us that the decisions we make today can impact generations to come. Whether you're a farmer, business owner, parent, or simply someone seeking to honor God in everyday life, this episode challenges us to consider an important question: Are we faithfully stewarding what God has entrusted to us, or are we too focused on what we can get out of it? Chris also shares an update on the podcast, the recent Etta Hills Farm Conference, and what's ahead as Allen, James, and future guests return for more conversations. Scripture References: Exodus 23:10–12; Leviticus 25:1–7, 20–23; Leviticus 26:32–35; 2 Chronicles 36:20–21. Follow, share, and join the conversation as we continue exploring God's Word, His creation, and our responsibility as caretakers.

    You Don’t Have to Own a Farm to Be a Caretaker of Creation

    When you hear the phrase Caretakers of Creation, you may picture farmers, ranchers, conservationists, or people who own large amounts of land. But biblical stewardship isn’t a profession—it’s a responsibility shared by all of us. In Season 2, Episode 5, Chris explains why you don’t need a farm, livestock, or even a backyard to care for God’s creation. Drawing from Psalm 24, Genesis, Deuteronomy, and Luke 16, he explores how we can faithfully steward the things God has already placed in our hands—including our bodies, food, money, homes, time, families, and influence. This episode also offers practical ways to begin making more intentional choices without turning stewardship into a competition or an unrealistic pursuit of perfection. Not everybody is called to farm, but everybody is called to faithfulness. Learn more about the Etta Hills Farm Conference, taking place October 8–9, 2026, in Southaven, Mississippi, followed by the Etta Hills Farm Tour on October 10 at EttaHillsFarm.com.

    Our Bodies Are a Temple: Stewarding Our Health with Dr. Ben Edwards

    What does it really mean to steward the body God has entrusted to us? In this episode of Caretakers of Creation, we’re joined by Dr. Ben Edwards of Veritas Wellness for a conversation inspired by 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, where Scripture reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that we are called to glorify God with them. We discuss what biblical stewardship looks like when applied to our own health—from the food we eat and the way we move to the everyday choices that influence our physical well-being. We also explore the connection between healthy soil, nutrient-dense food, healthy bodies, and our responsibility to care well for God’s creation—including ourselves. Caring for our health isn't about pursuing perfection or making wellness an idol. It's about recognizing that our bodies have been entrusted to us for a purpose and asking how we can care for them in a way that better equips us to serve God, our families, and others. We also discuss the upcoming Etta Hills Farm Conference, October 8–9 in Southaven, Mississippi, where we'll take these conversations even further—connecting regenerative agriculture, food, nutrition, human health, and faithful stewardship. Listen now, and join us this October as we continue exploring what it means to be true Caretakers of Creation.

    Deuteronomy 11 | Stewardship, Obedience & God’s Promises

    In this episode of Caretakers of Creation, we begin unpacking Deuteronomy 11 and the powerful connection between obedience, stewardship, blessing, and the land itself. Throughout Scripture, God repeatedly ties human behavior to the condition of creation. In Deuteronomy 11, Moses reminds Israel that the land responds differently depending on whether God’s people walk in obedience or rebellion. Rain, abundance, drought, provision, fruitfulness, and generational blessing are all connected to stewardship and covenant faithfulness. But what does that mean for us today? We discuss: The deeper meaning of Deuteronomy 11 Why God constantly connects stewardship with blessing The relationship between the health of the land and the condition of the people Practical modern applications for farming, food systems, business, family, and culture How regenerative agriculture reflects biblical principles of stewardship Why modern society often separates faith from creation care The responsibility Christians have to steward what God has entrusted to us This conversation goes beyond agriculture. It’s about how we live, lead, consume, build, and care for creation in a way that honors the Creator. The Earth belongs to God. We are simply called to steward it faithfully.

    Faith Through the Storm | Our Return to the Podcast

    After an extended break from the podcast, we’re finally back. In this episode, we open up about the difficult and life-changing season that led to our time away. From welcoming a newborn baby during Christmas… to enduring one of the most devastating ice storms Etta Hills Farm has ever faced, the past several months tested us physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. We discuss: Becoming parents again during one of the busiest seasons of life The impact of the ice storm on the farm, livestock, and daily operations The emotional and spiritual toll of stewardship during hardship What God taught us during the silence Why we felt called to return to the podcast now This episode is less about farming strategies or theology debates—and more about real life, perseverance, faith, and trusting God when things don’t go according to plan. Sometimes stewardship means pushing forward. Sometimes it means stepping back, protecting your family, and surviving the storm. Thank you for sticking with us. We’re grateful to be back. 🎙️ Welcome back to Caretakers of Creation.

    Eve vs. Esau: Defiance, Obedience, and Outcomes

    🎉 Season 2 Premiere & 1-Year Anniversary Special! 🎉 In this milestone episode of Caretakers of Creation, we celebrate one full year of exploring God’s Word and His creation together—and launch into Season 2 with a powerful conversation on Eve vs. Esau: Defiance, Obedience, and Outcomes. Eve in the Garden and Esau at the stew pot both faced a choice: obey God and preserve their blessing, or give in to appetite and lose what mattered most. Their decisions shaped not only their lives, but the generations that followed. Join James, Chris, and Allen as they unpack these stories and connect them to the choices we face today—whether in farming, family, or faith. What are we trading away when we chase short-term satisfaction over long-term obedience? How do defiance and obedience still determine outcomes in our own lives and in how we care for God’s creation? ✨ This episode marks a new season of deeper study, timely application, and encouragement for all who want to live as faithful stewards. Key Takeaways: The consequences of Eve’s and Esau’s choices in Scripture. How appetite and temptation still challenge us today. Why obedience brings long-term blessing and defiance leads to loss. Practical lessons for faith, farming, and daily stewardship. 🙏 Thank you for walking with us through our first year. Here’s to Season 2—may God continue to guide us as we care for His creation together!
