My guest this week is Elizabeth Prata and we are discussing whether or not God speaks to us audibly. Elizabeth warns us of false teachers claiming, “God told me…” and teaches us how to listen to the Holy Spirit while being careful not to claim direct revelations from God.

Does God Speak with us Audibly with Elizabeth Prata

I’m Jennifer Ross and I invite you to join me on my journey on how I’m building a walkable community of like-minded families seeking a sustainable, farm-to-table lifestyle centered around a working farm. 

I’m sharing my story, and guest interviews as I develop this residential neighborhood that creates that rare sense of belonging. Living life among neighbors who you call friends and friends you call family. Where our kids spend more of their free time outside in nature than they do inside on iPads.

While others are isolating and distancing, we believe that a good life is a shared life, and that’s why we are Building the Agrihood.

Agrihoods need land, and a lot of it!  Finding the right piece has been a 6 month or more journey. In this episode I am sharing the updates regarding acquring acreage and some of the ups and downs that go along with it. Have I made an official offer? Do I have a contract?  Listen in and find out! https://buildingtheagrihood.com/

I Found Land! ...Kind of

A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. While I'm past the first step stage in building the agrihood, there are still quite a few miles to go!  On a recent episode I talked about a developer I'd met through a mutual friend at a REIA one night.  In this podcast I share with you the update, the conversations that have happened since that first night and how it's okay that things like this don't get built over-night.  

Small steps lead to large accomplishments

In August 2021 I drove my 5 youngest children down to Chattahoochee Hills, GA to visit Serenbe.  This is easily one of the largest and most established agrihoods in the country.  Did I love it and make plans to model this agrihood? Or are there things I'd change for our own ag-community?  I share it all in this episode. Either way, we enjoyed that Sunday afternoon just walking and driving around Serenbe, recapping not only what I liked, but what I plan to do a little differently in the agrihood we build. http://buildingtheagrihood.com

Visiting Serenbe

The idea of building an agrihood can be intimidating. There are offers to be made on properties and with that comes rejections.  In this episode, I'm sharing more of my story with you and sharing about what's happened in the last 6 months on this journey.  Listen in to hear who I met the day before recording this and how this introduction is changing my course some. 

How many land offers does it take to develop an agrihood?

Today I'm interviewing Brett and Lena Coleman.  They traveled 7,000 miles and visited 21 agricultural neighborhoods in less than a year!  We're talking about what an agrihood is, why they are quickly becoming so popular and sought after (most have waiting lists), abd who they're for.  (Spoiler:  They aren't just for millenials!)  We talk about which agrihood is their favorite and with so much focus on community, we discuss if an agricultural neighborhood is a commune.  And because they've toured so many and have spoken with so many of the developers, I also ask the Coleman's what the drawbacks are. There is a wealth of information here for anyone wanting to learn more about agri-community living.
