Good word!!! Thank you! I’ve been doing something like this this year. Just turning off the screens more often and enjoying being oblivious to the news has really helped. I’ve also unsubscribed to the prepper YT channels that make me feel fearful of not being prepared enough… Nope! Not today.
Haha I’m 4 minutes in and this is the best ❤️😅🌸
Loved this. Haven't had decent sleep in 15 yrs. I work full time, have a farm, new relationship, trying to conquer bills, health issues….
That’s so good! Preach Jess!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We were not made to survive; we were made to THRIVE! 🎶
God did not give us the Spirit of fear, but of Power, Love, & a SOUND MIND. I agree that having a computer in our pockets and constant social media is stealing that from us and causing us to be addicted to fear. It’s sooo challenging and so important that we sever that tie. I needed to hear this reminder today. Thank you!
I’ve been watching your channel since Arkansas. This is my first of your podcasts. Thank you for putting it on YouTube. I enjoyed your sharing your thoughts on our humanity. Like you I believe that God created us to share our humanity with one another. Have a beautiful and blessed day.
Years ago, I'm a single Mother. who crawled in the house at 8 o'clock at night, 2 jobs, asking my minor son to make me a peanut butter and banana sandwich. My kids babysitter was video games, safe. Always barely made it. So tell me, how I was supposed to be a good parent, wasn't me. Oh, food, fed my kids, I usually didn't have time. Guess, if I could afford a housekeeper, sitter and have time to prep vegetables.. Society took away my role as a mother, the things I care about. Tough to keep family together today. Still got looked down on, in our materialistic society. Now, I do what's good for Mother Earth. And Love, my children, grandchildren, animals, garden, semi-sustainable in city, feel alone. Love Mother Earth and me, now!
Very timely for me and well said! Thanks for sharing!
Jess you should look into "the dead internet theory" You're not crazy for thinking that the internet has changed.
Please upload more episodes of the podcast.
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Jess, thank you for sharing your heart here. Your words are a blessing to so many people.
I find that it is just so full of LIFE here on your channel, just the opposite of desolate places.
Once again, you speak the thoughts of my own mind. It’s truly uncanny but confirms to me that God is speaking to many of us about the same things and that to me means they are, for sure, true ideas of personal revelation.
Great podcast! I would love to go back to the days when everything was closed on Sundays and you spent time with family.
Well done! We love you Jess! 💕💚 Always good to hear your sweet heart!
I have never been a good sleeper. Ever. No matter what I do, eat or take. One of my brothers said I would be a great case study for a student. LOL.
The internet has most definitely changed the way we all do things. Good and bad, unfortunately. People need to put the phones and devices down, go outside and just…be….for awhile. Love to you all. ❤
Keep up the podcast, sis! Great word!
Hi Jess, thanks for this podcast. I guess my mind has been resisting the AI changes. I hate trying to research with Google because the little AI program takes over eff very search. Yuck! And I dont eant the AI content. I follow some cooking, sewing and other creative endeavors. AI is interfering and making it harder to find what I want. But as an older, retired person, a lot of changes have bypassed my attention. But it has not been lost on me all the frenetic pace of things. People are talking by using only the first letter of each word of a phrase. How pushed does one need to be to only have time for 4 letters? And I can see that much of the so called information being posted is just fiction. Like actual news has changed to actual made up stories that never happened! I had not CV considered this in terms of humanity, but now I can see that all these things just are aimed at making us less. So I guess it's time to really assess what I want to do and what I won't be doing! Thank you for letting me see thru your lenses for a bit! It's to the good!
So accurate Jess. It is called future shock. Change happening so fast , that we go numb from the impact. In social logical trrms, it is called anomie – the state of shutting down and going numb from the stress of change. Thank you for articulating these truths about how God actually created us to be. Our humanity is not a flaw and we have to do everything we can to protect it on every level! Bless you baby girl. Love you. 💖👍🙏🌷🌿🏵
Like it says in Gods word take up your cross daily Love the Lord your God with all your heart and love one another
Unfortunately, in this country and many others, whole groups of people are being stripped of their humanity, are being told that they have no business expecting equal rights because of their spiritual beliefs, their sexual orientation, their political beliefs, their devotion to protect the environment, their immigration status – you name it. Anyone who is not a white, conservative Christian, a capitalist who puts profits and the accumulation of worldly goods above all else and is not willing to pledge undying allegiance, not to the country, but to the current president – they are now considered enemies of the state and will be subject to harassment and imprisonment in the coming years. Our basic rights to free speech and a free press are under constant attack. And now we have AI capable of putting any kind of fake stuff – art, video, audio, whatever – out to the masses in order to deceive us. The anti-Christ will not have a hard time in our current world to blow smoke up everyone's ………….. Sorry for being so blunt, not trying to start a divisive dialogue, but this is the reality. I am an old lady now and honestly, am so sad to see our country and our world come to this. There have always been difficult time, wars and depressions and political and religious divisions, but this seems very different to me, like I am living in an alternate reality and one that I have absolutely no control over. I will continue to work in my garden, seek community in my church and my neighbors, look after my family and try always to lead with love. You are such a sweetheart, Jess, and so sensitive in your observations. I wish you and your family only the best in the coming years.
❤❤❤❤❤
I love you, Jess! I've had a REALLY hard Summer, too. Bad arthritis, lack of sleep, terrible Virginia Beach humidity, rats in the garden… on & on. You are a breath of fresh air for me. I could watch you read the phone book!!😆 I kept wanting to wave at the YouTube vid on my tv and say "HEY, I'm over here!"🥰Do it however you want, I'll be here!💗You are my standard bearer. Love your stream of consciousness. God Bless!
Praise God for placing this on your heart to share! Amen, sister!
Loved this topic!
