Welcome back to Beyond the Crops, where farm life meets real life. In this heartfelt and candid episode, Jena and Mary Pat take a moment to pause and reflect. Jena opens with a powerful prayer for a world heavy with tragedy, setting the stage for a conversation about finding hope, controlling what we can, and the immense value of community. Then, they dive into a full recap of their inspiring and cup-filling weekend at Kylie's Farm Wives Club, an event that couldn't have come at a better time.

📌 What We Cover in This Episode:

💡 Key Takeaways:
✨ In times of tragedy, faith is an anchor. Focusing on prayer and the light of Jesus provides hope when the world feels dark.
✨ You cannot control world events, but you can control your home, your mindset, and how you show up for your family and community.
✨ Vulnerability is the key to connection. Sharing our hard stories helps others feel seen and reminds us that we are never truly alone.
✨ Community is essential. Events like Farm Wives Club are a powerful reminder of the strength and encouragement that comes from being surrounded by women who just "get it."
✨ Your greatest trials can become your greatest testimony. Much like the origin of Farm Wives Club itself, beauty and purpose can be born from the darkest moments.
