In this episode of Beyond the Crops, we’re tackling something that every farmer, rancher, and family faces—uncertainty. With markets, policies, weather, and world events constantly shifting, it’s easy to feel like everything is out of control. But while we can’t change the outside forces, we can control our mindset, faith, family life, routines, and how we respond to challenges.

Join us as we dive into practical ways to shift our focus, lean into faith, and take charge of the things that truly matter.

📌 What We Cover in This Episode:
✅ The biggest stressors we can’t control—markets, government policies, weather, and information overload.
✅ How to shift our focus to what we can control—faith, family, daily habits, and our mindset.
✅ Practical steps for managing stress, setting boundaries, and protecting our peace.
✅ Encouragement to lead with faith, create a strong home environment, and make intentional choices.

💡 Key Takeaways:
✨ We may not control the chaos of the world, but we can create peace in our homes.
✨ Faith, prayer, and scripture are powerful tools for navigating uncertainty.
✨ Protecting our mindset and setting boundaries with media can make a huge difference.
✨ Small daily choices—like prioritizing family time and gratitude—help us focus on what truly matters.
