Welcome back to todays show as we continue to dig out from another storm and use the chicken run, frozen waterers, and kid-made snow mazes to explore subsidiarity—the simple principle that a household should handle what it can, with higher levels helping, not replacing. We trace how modern systems pull authority away from families and how small acts of production restore competence and joy.

• defining subsidiarity as local responsibility first
• homestead as a doing household, not a hub
• chickens and snow as real-world husbandry
• critique of school structures moving gravity from family
• risk, agency, and kids learning by doing
• family authority, formation, and faith
• building a family economy that produces
• raising entrepreneurial kids through real work
• practical steps to pull life back home

Do one thing today to pull it back. One thing. Something small, something real. Order some roses to plant in your house this coming spring on your property that make you tend to the land
