A Wisconsin Grower Explains Hemp, Winter Prep, Beekeeping Wins, And Why Redemption Changes Everything
Manage episode 516287582 series 3659745
A field full of fragrant buds, a hive on the brink, and a word that can change a life—redeemed. This episode moves from dirt-under-the-fingernails farm work to a clear-eyed push for smarter hemp laws in Wisconsin, then lands in the quiet power of faith, testimony, and music as service.
We start with harvest—the short, ecstatic window when hemp colas are ripe and resinous. Along the way, we unpack the endocannabinoid system in plain English and share real, practical ways people use plant medicine: oils, topicals, edibles, smokables. From there, we head to Milwaukee, where policymakers debate hemp-derived cannabinoid (HDC) rules. I share why the proposed three-tier alcohol-style model could crush small growers, and outline a better path: a tier zero exemption for farmers, streamlined testing and labeling, and a sensible direct-sales threshold that protects consumers without erasing farm-to-table operations. Forty states have moved forward; it’s time to stop treating Wisconsin like an island.
Back on the farm, winter prep is love made visible. Perennials move into the hoop house. Garlic cloves get bone meal and a tight tuck in raised beds. A lost beehive is carefully recovered from yellow jackets and mice, while the remaining colony gets mite treatment, wind guards, and sugar feed. Then the theme turns inward. Redeemed becomes a mantra—freedom from the power of sin, courage to begin again. A gifted study Bible arrives at just the right moment, a reminder that grace often wears a friend’s face. I invite you to share your testimony, because spoken truth heals the room.
Looking ahead, season two goes mobile to feature our “high vibe tribe”—family, healers, and retail partners doing good work in their communities. And I’m stepping into Free the Music Ministry to write honest, conscious songs that point to Jesus and honor the land. If you’re nearby, consider joining us at New Life Church in West Bend for worship that lingers in your week like a good refrain.
If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review—then tell me: what testimony are you ready to speak out loud today?
