We’ll cover how to grow food in small spaces, which livestock are best for beginners (like chickens, quail, or rabbits), and how to create a lifestyle of stewardship, simplicity, and faith no matter your zip code. God calls us to use what’s in our hands, and homesteading—even on a small scale—is a way to provide for our families, care for His creation, and slow down in His presence.
If you’ve been searching for:
Start with What You Have
Container gardens, raised beds, herbs in the windowsill, or a small chicken coop. Stewardship starts small!
Choose Beginner-Friendly Livestock
Chickens for eggs, quail for small spaces, or rabbits for meat. Talk about God’s design in providing for us through these animals.
Create Rhythms of Care & Faith
Daily routines for watering, feeding, and prayer time. Tie in Proverbs 21:5: “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.”
I built a working homestead from scratch that now pays for itself. I started with a backyard flock and a dream and grew it into a 20-acre operation with over 4,000 birds, multiple livestock, and self-serve farm stands running year-round. We even completely rebuilt in a YEAR after a flood cam and wiped out everything from our flocks to our gardens. All while raising four kids, staying present in my marriage, and keeping my relationship with Jesus at the center of every single decision.
I am Tori Gass, a Christian homestead coach. God did not call me to keep this to myself. He called me to bring you with me.

"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." Proverbs 15:22
From the publisher's feed
I am not who I used to be.
Sexual trauma. Addiction. Generational cycles so deep I thought they were just who I was. Years of running from the wrong things toward the wrong things and leaving a trail of damage I did not know how to fix.
But God.
Two words that carry the entire weight of my testimony. He reached into the darkest version of me and He did not flinch. He did not leave. He did not hand me a five step plan. He handed me grace I did not earn and a life I did not deserve and said now go tell the truth about what I did with the broken pieces.
I am Tori Gass. Wife. Mama of four. Working homesteader on 20 acres in Roswell, New Mexico. Overcomer. Covered in the blood of Jesus and living proof that no story is too far gone for redemption.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "She says the things nobody else will say. And she says them with Jesus in the room." — Apple Podcasts
This show is for the woman who is carrying what I used to carry. Trauma that was handed to you before you had a choice. Shame from choices you made yourself. Generational patterns you can feel repeating in your own home. An addiction that started as survival and became a prison. A faith that feels distant because life got too loud to hear God in it.
I have been every single one of those women. And I found the way out. Not through self help. Not through positive thinking. Through the Word, through real tools, through community, and through a God who specializes in making beautiful things out of broken ones.
Every week we go deep into Scripture, real stories, and practical tools for healing, breaking free, and building a life rooted in faith that actually holds when everything else falls apart. And yes. Sometimes chickens.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I finally found someone who gets it and does not make me feel ashamed for where I have been." — Apple Podcasts
Over 10,000 women have trusted me to walk alongside them. Ranked in the top 1% of podcasts globally. 5 stars.
You are not too far gone. You have not done too much. God has not left the room. He is just waiting for you to get quiet enough to hear Him.
This is where redemption gets loud.
Stay covered, stay loud, and never stop letting God rewrite your story.
-Tori Gass
