What does it mean to pledge your allegiance to something or someone? What do the colors of the United States flag stand for? Who originally wrote the Pledge of Allegiance? I explain this and more in this episode.
Our founding fathers surrendered their sacred honor, wealth and more to stand for freedom and justice. Are we willing to do the same?
We are fighting a spiritual battle, that with the guidance of Christ, we will eventually win. In Ep. 251 [https://www.crazythymesfarm.com/ep-251-be-a-soldier-for-jesus/], I spoke about the battle between good and evil. Every human soul will have to, at some point in their life, come face to face with making the decision of giving their allegiance to either good or evil. We can serve both. 
There are so many people who died for us to have the freedoms that we do today. Our flag waves proudly for those who sacrificed for those freedoms. Are we willing to do the same if needed?

Ep. 252 The Pledge of Allegiance Meaning

Being a soldier means to be prepared for battle at all times. In our era, we fight a spiritual battle against the evil of this world. We, as soldiers of Christ, need to be prepared to stand against the evil that comes our way. 
In this episode, I share how we can be prepared for battle against the darkness that tries to assault us as Christians. We are to stand firm for the cause of Christ, and not knowing how to use and implement our armor means utter destruction. 
I will be discussing each piece of our armor:
* helmet of Salvation
*girdle of truth
*footwear of peace
*the sword of the Spirit
* shield of faith
Be a soldier of Christ. Be strong in His might.

Ep. 249 How to Start a Podcast

Fear, taken to heart, can be a true killer. It can stunt, cripple and stop someone from pursuing their dreams, goals and ambitions. It can obliterate a person's whole life. 
We, as Christians, should not harbor the spirit of fear, but have power, love and a sound mind, as stated in 1 Timothy 1:7. We fight a spiritual battle, and with that comes the challenges of what see and don't see. Our battle isn't with flesh and blood. 
The Word of God is our instruction manual, and we, as Christians, need to go back to it daily for encouragement, direction and peace of heart. 
Run to Jesus because he loves you and wants what is perfect for your life.

Ep. 247 How to Become Clutter Free

Anna McLaughlin is a wife, mom, Entrepreneur, and a Redeemed child of God. She has learned over the years to be faithful in little, that you might be set over greater things. Her life didn't start out that way though. In her brokenness, she recognized that there was a road to healing, and came to understand that to God, brokenness is beautiful. God takes what is broken, and through many steps, brings us to a place of intimacy with him and better relationships with others.
Many times we try to "paste good behavior on top of a broken heart", only to make matters worse. When we trust ourselves to become vulnerable and honest before God, do we finally begin our healing journey.
Anna has taken her journey experience to another level, in which she is helping other women to start their healing journey, through the group She Considers a Field [https://www.facebook.com/groups/sheconsidersafield]. If you would like to learn more about this group, you can find it on Facebook. Anna also has a podcast by the same name.

Crazy Thymes Farm Trailer

The podcast is now called Crazy Thymes Farm. Sorry about the confusion. 
Mike Van Pelt is an Entrepreneur, Author, and Speaker whose passion is to restore the trait of masculinity. Men aren't always eager about asking for help or support. In our society, masculinity is often treated as though it were a disease. Mike has made it his mission to help men to come back to the idea and character of being masculine. Masculinity, in essence, is really a choice; a choice that is unfortunately being attacked on a daily basis. In the importance of being masculine comes the restoration of the Word of God in each individual life. To bring the Word of God back to men is to create men who are better fathers, better husbands, and better leaders. 
In Mike's book, True Man, True Ways, he helps men to be just that; true men of God. You can find Mike Van Pelt's book here: https://www.truemanlifecoaching.com/true-man-book
