Sue's Healthy Minutes with Sue Becker | The Bread Beckers

Over the past few weeks and on several different platforms, Sue Becker has had amazing opportunities to share the message of healthy eating and real bread. The response has been very exciting - to say the least!

Because of this, we have had so many questions about how to get started, so this week, we thought we would be nice to include a little information about how you can get started with your very own journey of milling wheat and making bread as well!

Today, Sue talks about grain mills, different types of grain, sweeteners, and more. The items that she discusses can be found on our website and in our store. However, if you need a visual of these items, please watch our video, Basic List of Getting Started Items, on our YouTube Channel. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE while you're there!

We took a road trip to Oliver Farm, down in Pitts, GA - where we were able to visit their sunflower fields and "oil shack" - as they call it. It was amazing to see all of the beautiful sunflowers that were in full bloom and to also see how Clay and his wife, Valerie, make all of their amazing oils.

Oliver Farm was formed several years ago when fuel prices soared and the American economy faltered. There was a lot of talk about alternative fuel sources, and that sparked an interest in an area that Clay knew very little about; however, he began researching, visiting oil plants, and talking to individuals in this field. During this time Clay discovered the cold pressed method of oil extraction which does not use chemicals or high temperatures to remove the oil. This process leaves valuable vitamins and nutrients in the oil.

In 2012, Clay grew his first crop of sunflowers for oil production, and by the end of 2012, he had pressed oil from sunflowers, pecans, and peanuts - all grown in Wilcox County, GA. More oils followed, and Oliver Farm Artisan Oils quickly caught the attention of chefs and foodies. Now, Oliver Farm Artisan Oils are used and sold all over various locations, including The Bread Beckers, Inc., in Woodstock, GA.

Today's episode is going to be a little different and longer than normal. As a podcast, this episode is presented as an audio recording of our trip. In addition, we have also released a video recording of our trip as well!

Watch this video over on our YouTube Channel. There, you'll get to see the sunflower fields and the actual process that Oliver Farm uses for making all of the delicious oils that they sell. Once there, remember to hit the subscribe button and smash that bell icon, to be notified every time a new video drops.

Sue Becker continues with her love for summer by sharing that one of her favorite items during the summer is a cold, refreshing smoothie. As stated in a previous episode, these smoothies can be either yogurt or Kiefer-based and blended with some frozen fruit and sweetened with a bit of honey - making these smoothies a perfect combination of whole-grain fiber, with a healthy dose of good gut organisms.

However, years ago, Sue was introduced to another kind of smoothie, and today, she shares this goodness with all of us. She also talks about the benefits of each of these ingredients, which include: Maca, Lacuma, and Raw Cacao. Although, this smoothie is more of a shake than it is a smoothie, it contains a lot of the nutrients that our bodies need and crave, and Sue is confident that you will love it too!

Garden season is here, and today, Sue Becker shares a really great option for all of the fresh fruits and vegetables that we may be gathering from our own gardens, farmer's markets, or local growers. There are a lot of options for storing fruits and vegetables, but Sue's favorite has become dehydration, and today, she explains why.

She connects her talk to Proverbs 6:6-8, which tells us to "Go to the ant, consider its ways, and be wise. It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest."

Today is Memorial Day - a day of remembering all of those who have given their lives for our freedom. In honor of this day, Sue Becker is inspired by the words of General Douglas MacArthur, "No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom, unless he be vigilant in its preservation."

In this episode, Sue shares a connection between salt and Memorial Day. She introduces the significance of real salt in our everyday diets, and then leaves us with the understanding that we are the salt of the earth - chosen to preserve the teachings of Christ in this exact day and time.

Listen closely today as Sue Becker shares one of her personal testimonies and the goodness of God.

Even though bread made from freshly-milled grain has been significant in eradicating most of the illnesses Sue has faced from before and along the way, one still remains. She discusses what to do when we lose hope, and we don't see the answers to the prayers we have prayed - when we don't see the healing, or when we get a diagnosis despite our diligence in eating healthy.
