“What a man is alone on his knees before God, that he is—and no more.” More important than the impression you give to your church family on Sunday or to your social media friends throughout the week is the impression you make at home approaching God in private prayer. In this episode, Tim talks about the important role of sincere, “un-photoshopped” prayer in the Christian Home and how God expects us to practice this spiritual discipline behind closed doors without the vanity of drawing attention to ourselves. #prayer #prayercloset #homesteading Subscribe to the Kinnard Homestead: https://www.youtube.com/thekinnardhomestead?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to our Podcast https://www.thekinnardhomestead.com/podcast Follow the Kinnard Homestead: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thekinnardhomestead Website: https://www.thekinnardhomestead.com Contact Us: https://www.thekinnardhomestead.com/contact-us

The biblical practice of rest is generally accepted as an important means of grace by the average Christian family. The role that entertainment plays in the process of that rest, on the other hand, continues to be a topic of much debate. In this episode, Tim talks about the biblical categories of leisure and entertainment in the Christian home, and seeks to strike a balance between one’s free enjoyment of “all the fruits of the garden” and their total avoidance of the “forbidden fruits” clearly identified outside God’s boundaries.

While it's true Jesus puts a priority on the home, the Bible never once suggests the home is his top priority. In this episode, continuing a Bible-study walk through of "the Christian home," Tim discusses the coming and going of those in the Christian family and notices how they treat their home not like their ultimate home at all, but more as a kind of temporary “home-base” for ministry and kingdom purposes.

A love for reading and the proof of being "well read" doesn't require a person to own, or to have even read through, a large stack of books. Quality over quantity should always be the ideal standard, including in the practice of reading. In this episode, Tim talks about a minimalist approach to reading and shares the story of his decision to purge most of the books in his personal library out of a desire to create a more deliberate reading plan. Drawing from the advice of respected philosopher of education, Mortimer Adler, as well as supporting ideas from theologians Charles Spurgeon and John Piper, Tim argues for an approach that allows one to read more by reading less.

When organized scouting was first introduced in 1908 by war hero Sir Robert Baden-Powell, its objective was to "complete the sequence of training from boyhood to manhood through the progressive grades of [the scouting ranks]." In our modern world, there has risen some confusion, including within respected scouting organizations, as to the basic definition of "manhood." In this episode, Tim explores the history of scouting, its original complementarian convictions, and the current fork in the scouting trail between a biblical and secular worldview. #Scouting #TrailLife #Homesteading Resources: www.traillifeusa.com www.backpacker.com/stories/meet-trail-life-usa-conservatisms-answer-to-the-boy-scouts/ Subscribe to the Kinnard Homestead: https://www.youtube.com/thekinnardhomestead?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to our Podcast https://www.thekinnardhomestead.com/podcast Follow the Kinnard Homestead: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thekinnardhomestead Website: https://www.thekinnardhomestead.com Contact Us: https://www.thekinnardhomestead.com/contact-us Artwork Credit: Tim McDonagh

Do you know the difference between an asset and a liability? According to Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best selling book, "Rich Dad Poor Dad, " if what you own is costing you money to have, maintain, store, etc, instead of earning you an extra source of income, you don't have an asset.

As a son, brother, husband, and father of certain ladies partial to the story of "Anne of Green Gables," written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, I've read the classic book and seen the popular 1985 movie. While I don't get very sentimental when it comes to the "coming-of-age" story of a somewhat awkward, freckle-face, red-headed orphan girl who always has her head in the clouds dreaming about poetry, flowers, bosom friends, and kindred spirits, there is something about it that grabs my attention. It's the character of Matthew Cuthbert, who, in more ways than one, shows a kind of Chirstlikness in his management of his farm and his display of Gospel-like grace to little orphan Anne. I confess, it's the kind of mindset I wish I saw more evident in myself.

Those who live on a farm are mindful of the threat of predators that lurk in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to pick off a stray chicken or lamb.
