## Posts
- [Lessons from the Hive](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/lessons-from-the-hive/): Today I spent some time watching the activity around my honey bee hive. It seemed like every bee had a purpose. Some were leaving the hive in search of nectar and pollen. Others were returning with their legs covered in golden pollen. There was a constant flow of movement—busy, organized, and productive.
- [BOROUX Water Filtration System](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/boroux-water-filtration-system/): When it comes to water filters, there are a lot of choices out there. I've spent quite a bit of time looking into different options over the years, and one thing I've learned is that not all water filters are created equal. Some companies make big promises but don't provide much proof. Others focus on fancy marketing while leaving customers with questions.
- [Homestead Rhythms: Preparing For A New Homestead Season](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/homestead-rhythms-preparing-for-a-new-homestead-season/): After a long winter break, we finally sat down again to record another episode of the Modern Homesteading Podcast. It had been months since we last talked together, and as we caught up, it became clear that even though winter can feel slow, homesteading never really stops.
- [Faithful in the Busy Season](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/faithful-in-the-busy-season/): “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”— Colossians 3:23 (ESV)
- [Peace in the Preparation and Faith](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/peace-in-the-preparation-and-faith/): “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”— Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)
- [Rusted But Restored](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/rusted-but-restored/): Today on the homestead, I found something I hadn’t even realized I’d lost—an old pair of hand pruners. They’d been left out through weeks of winter weather, buried in snow and forgotten in the rush of chores and changing seasons. When I picked them up, they were rusted, stiff, and hard to close. What once had been a reliable tool was now nearly useless without some serious care.
- [Hidden Growth in a Leafless Season](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/hidden-growth-in-a-leafless-season/): Walking across the homestead this time of year, the trees stand bare—stripped of their leaves, their branches stark and skeletal against the winter sky. To the casual eye, they might appear lifeless, dormant, even forgotten. But beneath the bark, unseen by sight, growth is still happening.
- [Winter Homestead Reality Check: What Actually Gets Done](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/winter-homestead-reality-check-what-actually-gets-done/): Winter on the homestead looks very different than Instagram makes it seem.
- [Strength for the Season](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/strength-for-the-season/): Homesteading requires grit. Whether it's hauling water in the cold, facing a surprise storm that damages a fence, dealing with sick animals, or getting up before dawn to tend to chores—you quickly learn that this life isn’t for the faint of heart.
- [Improving Soil Health in the Winter Time](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/improving-soil-health-in-the-winter-time/): Why the quiet season may be the most important one for your garden
- [Hope in the Homestead Journey](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/hope-in-the-homestead-journey/): There’s something deeply hopeful about homesteading. We plant seeds expecting harvest. We raise animals anticipating provision. We build today for a tomorrow we haven’t seen yet. And yet, even with all our planning, things often don’t go as we expected—weather turns, crops fail, animals get sick, and circumstances change.
- [Growing a Four-Season Salad Garden: How to Harvest Fresh Greens All Year Long](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/growing-a-four-season-salad-garden-how-to-harvest-fresh-greens-all-year-long/): In today’s episode of the Modern Homesteading Podcast, I'm diving into one of the most practical, delicious, and surprisingly simple ways to boost your year-round food production: Growing a Four-Season Salad Garden — even in cold climates.
- [The Gift of Being Together](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/the-gift-of-being-together/): Spending the past week with family at the homestead has likely brought its share of joy, stories, shared meals, and moments that root us deeper into one another’s lives. These gatherings—ordinary though they may seem—are sacred spaces where legacy is lived out.
- [When You’re Forced to Slow Down](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/when-youre-forced-to-slow-down/): Yesterday, everything was going according to plan—until it wasn’t. A misstep, a fall, a sprained ankle. Now, instead of pushing forward on homestead chores, you're sitting, resting, waiting. Not by choice—but perhaps by invitation.
- [A Glimpse of Spring in Winter](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/a-glimpse-of-spring-in-winter/): Today brought a break in the cold. The chill that had gripped the homestead seemed to ease, and for a moment, it felt like spring was reaching out through winter’s grasp. The air softened, the sun warmed the ground, and the birds even sang a little louder. Though it’s not time to plant, something in our hearts stirred—hope.
- [Provision in the Wilderness](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/provision-in-the-wilderness/): This time of year, many homesteaders take to the woods—rifle or bow in hand, walking carefully through creation in search of deer, squirrel, turkey, or rabbit. It’s not about sport. It’s about provision—putting meat in the freezer, stewarding the land wisely, and honoring the resources God gives.
- [Cold Snaps and Course Corrections](https://redemptionpermaculture.com/cold-snaps-and-course-corrections/): Yesterday’s busted water spigot reminded me of how fast something can go wrong when conditions change unexpectedly. One day it’s fine, the next—a frozen pipe, a split line, and a scramble to get things working again. Cold weather doesn’t always announce itself with fanfare. It just arrives, and if you’re not prepared, you feel it—fast.
