E52 "Untended Fires"

In this episode Daniel and Nate discuss the conference they attended in Colorado, NCYM, and some of the things they walked away thinking about. "Untended fires soon become nothing but a pile of ashes" -Jim Burns Is the church just supposed to convict people and then walk away? Or should we always follow up with mentoring and discipleship? Daniel and Nate also feel the pain of seeing peers in ministry burning out and leaving ministry because they didn't feel supported or able to keep pace with the busy hustle that the culture demands. How is hurry effecting the church, its members, its pastors, our children?

E51 "Growing Kingdom, Growing Food"

In this episode Daniel and Nate discuss Nate's experience at the Tennessee Local Food Summit. Jeff Poppen aka "The Barefoot Gardener" started the local food summit  for local and organic growers to come together annually and share stories and resources to further the cause. Tennessee is loosing gardens, farms, and land under production at an alarming rate. It's heartbreaking to see developers wreck the creation with greedy, shortsighted, ugly, and cheap construction that creates a domino effect of short term and long term negative consequences. So, how can we reimagine how to use land in a way where humans have a beautiful, efficient, and sustainable space to live in. How do we create really high density housing that is still surrounded by green and living spaces? Here's our thoughts.   Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/jubileefreedomshalom]
