I’ve been wanting to do something special for those of you who support this Substack. You’ve stuck with me, not because I offer flashy perks or endless extras, but because you care about the kind of slow, grounded work we’re doing here. So I’m starting something new: The Farm Tapes.

Most mornings, I take a walk around our property, Bible and notebook in hand, with the chickens making a racket in the background. These recordings are just that… unscripted reflections from those walks. Real thoughts, fresh air, no polish. I post one on Wednesday or Thursday every week.

In this first one, I talk about raising teenagers, dating, and preparing them for marriage. Just a father thinking out loud about how to help his sons and daughters grow into godly husbands and wives in a confused world.

If you’re a paid subscriber, this one’s for you.
