Farmer on Fire Podcast

There is no doubt greed is taking over our industry and the world around us.

Everyone is talking about the highest cash rent while at the end of the day it drains your energy both in your business and in your home.

You need to be investigating daily where you are inputting your energy and staying away from things that steal your focus.

If your game plan is to focus on only farming more acres to have more, there will be a pain and discontentment that will breed angry, resentment, and frustration to those around you.

Instead of a mindset of "having it all", what could be possible if you investigated what you currently have and making the most of what has been given to you?

When you understand the order of your household, there is fruit that begins to multiply.

The problem with the majority of households today is the confusion and distractions that prevent you from turning and drawing closer to God. This is the work of the enemy and his whole objective.

Becoming the Head of your Household means you turning to God and drawing your certainty and power from him instead of other men or even your wife.

The majority of farmers today are putting their trust in market prices, their land, or that new piece of equipment that is going to make them feel better. This is idolatry and it sows choas and greed into your life if you do not begin to turn away from it.

The more you can express and feel how you truly are feeling will lead you to a place of liberation. The problem is, society has taught and trained you as a man to suppress and bury them.

This leaves you feeling stuck, frustrated, and alone at the end of the day because you cannot communicate how you are truly feeling. We learn different ways to deal with our feelings like distancing ourself from others, isolating, or sedating with a substance to numb how we truly feel.

When you learn how to deal with your emotions, there is a window of opportunity that presents itself because you are willing to lean into what you want by pressing forward and not stuck in an emotional loop.

It is important for you to understand how the enemy works in your life.

The reality is, every single human on this earth is going to be under some sort of spiritual attack on a daily basis and it has one mission. To keep you away from God.

It wants you to doubt, take away your certainty, and keep you stuck in the same struggles with that you deal with on a day to day basis. And the enemy is very good at this.

"You deserve this. Just one drink won't hurt...you've had a long day" is the enemy's way of keeping you from following God's Will in your life. You must be a sniper being ready to attack and identify where the doubt is creeping in you life.

All of the pain you currently have inside of your life right now is meant to awaken you to the path and journey that is in front of you.

When you stop and listen to the direction you are being pulled, there is a massive amount of peace, certainty, and confidence that comes with that.

Knowing that it is God who is leading your life taking you exactly where He is wanting to take you.

Any foundation not built on the rock will not stand the testing of trials.

There is no tractor, land, or dollar amount that will fill the void that you have in your gut.

Nothing you build will last long term until you find the rock foundation.

If your trust is in other men or material objects, it’s only a matter of time before they betray you.

Don’t build one sand. Find the rock

If you’ve been given a talent or a skill, there is a duty for you to act on it.

What kind of an impact would you have if you viewed your abilities as a gift to serve others?

There is a stewardship possible for each person when you begin to understand the responsibility we have to deliver our talents.

The problem is that we deny our talents and get stuck in the mental loop of doubt and inaction.

Stop playing it small and living in a container that leaves you trapped, frustrated, and irritated.

To do this, you are going to have to shatter your frame.

You are going to have to lay it all on the line and be willing to do what is being called in your life and remain obedient to the commands.

Expect to have massive breakthroughs and revelations the more frames you are willing to break.
