The title says it all: Go forward, as Abraham did--not having all the answers, but moving step by step, by faith.

I guess my wife and I have been very blessed. We had 211 acres with a half mile of creek running through the middle. It was about half woods and half pasture, two houses, six wells and not too far from town. We had it paid for in six years. But age has a way of making you change your perspective. The good thing is that we found another, smaller, 42 acre farm that is even better than the big farm. The Lord has been good to us.

Excellent testimony. I know them personally And their marriage and their children are powerful witness to what God can do for a family that seeks to please Him by putting His counsels in practice. Country living has no better witness than the Andersson family.

Good morning what a beautiful testimony. We heard God voice to leave the cities so please pray for us that we get a piece of land in the country in Jesus name 🙏

It took more than a decade, maybe 2, to convince my hub we needed to move out of the city.once we had it in our head, we started setting it up. We looked hard and fast once we had our ducks lined up.the real estate market was ( is) red hot. We saw 6 properties with an agent and bid full price on 2 of them. Nope, we were out bid by cash offers. The agent showed us a property that had problems, it had been in and out of escrow 3 times. It turned out we knew what to do with the ( problems). Sure it wasn't my first choice, but the sellers accepted our bid over asking price. We were in absolute shock! Completing the purchase during the pandemic was a wild ride. It's ours, and I pinch myself that I get to live in this beauty.my regret is that we didn't make the move 10 or 20 years ago, so my kids could've been raised here. It's glorious.

Hi I need prayer Living in my van over 2 mos Im 60 Disabled Cant find much i can afford I need a miracle now Please pray for me 🥺🙌🏻 My health is failing

We felt God pushing us out of where we were too. Thanks for sharing your story.

What a blessing and beautiful testimony!! I hope this family uses their blessing to bless others as well.

Thank you for sharing your story. Moving and living a country life is like planting a tree. The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, but the second best time is now. Praying about it, is more important than finding the best property. It could have no stream or creek, even though water is extremely important, the Lord will provide, like He says He does for the birds. Remember to claim those promises. The 'wrong property' might be the right property. We have a work to do and it may just be our Nineveh. May the Lord continue to bless this family, your channel and your family.

It is such a blessing that God cares and gave you both something on the journey, and you both trusted God and each other each time. Erik to the location, Sherri to the property to rent in the location... How good is God!!! And then to both of you again to the final property that grew and grew! A lovely encouraging story! Yes, we all need to trust God on His journey for us all - He is always faithful, but He is NOT a vending machine - Character, purpose, stewardship, that is His focus on the journey so we can all be used for His Kingdom. Thanks for sharing this!

Just looking at the background treeline, I knew it must be Tennessee. Beautiful country. God bless you!

I loved the story, it's so inspiring! May God continue to guide them and bless them

I feel such a calling to move and raise my children in the country and on a homestead. Please pray that God will bless my family with the ability to do so🙏❤

Lovely story, I lived in Tn most of my life, I was born there on my great grandfather's family farm. Inherited by my Dad, I miss it, my wide open running memories, climbing trees in the woods... tire swings, swimming holes, in our creek. not FOND.. memories of weeding our 3 gardens. It's the best life ever. I'm in my 70's now. I thought as a teen, i wanted to leave it all. If i wasn't too old i'd go back now.. skipping & singing loud, where no one can hear you 😊 I wish.... you and your beautiful family a healthy, blessed, long life,there in Tn. THE PEOPLE THERE ARE SO KIND, WE really are😊Blessings🙏

Time is running short. We need to get out of the cities while we still can. We live in the country, but are looking for a "better" property with more room to grow more of our own food. We shall see where the Lord leads.

Lord, Jesus bless me to be able to keep a part-time job as a senior citizen so that my family does not have to give up our dream of country living because of our age and our income being single.

Wow, what an amazing testimony! Praise the Lord! My husband and I have been wanting to find country living for a while. This testimony is a definite inspiration.

Beautiful story wow. God has really opened doors for you.

Timely, God inspired advice. Let God lead, one step at a time. My husband and I are going through this right now. Reviewing how God has led/protected/prepared us in the past is helping us to let Him lead.

Love these stories. My family and I just moved in a cabin on 15 acres in SW Washington state.

This really touched my heart ♥️ I’m so glad that I found your chander! You are a great blessing!🙌🏽

This is my FAVORITE video of yours yet!! And so very inspiring to our family. We have tried to listen to the Lord’s leading through the years but this testimony is so appreciated. We spent much time in Hohenwald, Parsons, Centerville as we were fostering-adopting three children from that area. Again, thank-you for this content. To the Andersons: Yes! Hole-in-the-wall!! 🥳😍Know it well. Our adopted children are from there. We lived in middle TN for 53 years until the Lord moved us to Ohio. Thanks for sharing your story from Hohenwald and from our homestate . ❤️katie

Thank you for the encouragement I need to link up with more like minded people

Lovely testimony…I am praying for God to show me where he wants our family to be as well.

It's wonderful to see such lovely children raised in a good family environment and the parents have the vision and good grace to find land to take stewardship of. The long vision of life, it is aided by faith and I would also say, knowledge as via knowledge, people can understand their place in nature and create balance and harmony.

Wow what a beautiful testimony. I needed to hear this. Thank you very much God bless you.

Beautiful testimony God be praised !

I just watched this video and subscribed. I moved out of the city to a quasi-country property twenty years ago. I wish we had more land, but it is still better than the city. Sometimes you don't get everything you want but you get what you need.

Thank you for being willing to share your story so others can learn about moving step by step with the Lords input

Thank you as this is what we needed. Encouragement to move forward.

God is so good. He will always lead us down the right path if we are patient and listen for His instruction.

This just what I needed to hear! We do live out in the country persa right on the edge of a small village. With that being said, I have a real need for land and moving in the country with our own well. I tend to have a "perfect" vision of what that looks like, this truly spoke to what God is saying to me. Thank you

Beautiful couple, beautiful story! Thank you Chad for sharing their experience, great content keep your informative videos coming!

This video is so beautiful and speaks to my heart

Thank you. I love these kind of stories ❤

Wow this is quite an inspiring story. We are also looking to move out of the cities and we are waiting for the Lord to lead us to the right place. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

Sis. White encourages those who are able to have large properties to help those who are not able to afford a country property to help them. I hope you guys will be willing to do so.

What a beautiful and encouraging story! Thank you for sharing!

Thankful I found this. Man makes his plans, but Yahweh directs his steps.

God is so good! He is currently leading my husband and I with our 7 children along a similar path and this video has providentially come across my path today. God is so good!

Excellent testimony! I am a country living advocate and for years I have always told people that no property is perfect. You have to put work in it to make it what u want it to be. In the spirit of prophecy there is a statement that essentially states in every thing there must be a beginning! God plans our future.

What a wonderful and inspiring testimony. God richly bless you all, bless your farm and family and guard and strengthen your walk in Christ Jesus. Thank you for sharing in such a humble spirit. Thank God I saw your video. I too have felt led to get out of Satan's city and I pray the Lord God of heaven to give me what I need to unload my burdens here in Southern California and move on to green pastures God willing will take me. Thank you.

After praying for a way out the Lord opened the door for us. Moved from a city if nearly 1 million into a town an hour away of only 500, still renting but we could never afford to own anything in this day and age with 5 kids. If that's not an answered prayer I don't know what is. God bless.

I love this couple! And their story 🤗.. We are taking a leave of faith and in the process of selling our Idaho home, prayerfully, seeking a country property.

Your story sounds like mine. God leads us gradually. We just need to move when He impresses us to move. He will provide. God bless you through this journey.

That’s beautiful God is so incredible you just have to open your mind and listen and follow God and trust in the lord

God bless you, thank you

Beautiful testimony 💕 thank you for featuring their story!

To God be the glory,such a great testimony of God’s goodness and favor to His people

Amen. Loved this testimony.

I have been on this path for years with no luck...we are in Pa and praying everyday for clean farmland ... still stuck... It gets frustrating knowing time is wasting

Blessings

Timely message

Amazing!! We bought land in the mountains of Puerto Rico and God was in the full process!!! Blessings

Amen!

All these are beautiful . Im happy when people got to do this kind of living and have option. I hope you make videos about us too who dont have anything and will face this great reset with uncertainty. We could only afford renting...buying property is so far from reality for us...if all the troubles begin today all we can do is walk a path where God bring us. House, water and food will be struggle for us but we have our faith in HIM... Matthew 6:26-28 "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? Praying for the best for all of you brothers and sisters.

What God has in mind for you, does not always look like what you have in mind.....be open and embrace where God leads you...you will not regret it....

Chad, I am so thankful that God lead me to your channel! You seem to answer every single question, that I have tucked away in my, "well maybe this" box!

Inspiring. I am familiar with these people, and the church they go to.

Inspiring! Thank you!

Been enjoying these videos and the channel. Closing on my first mini farm within a few weeks, excited and like the vibes you’re sharing. I’m in southeast TN.

Wow... This is marvellous. May God help us too as we look forward to acquire some country home

I am 67, divorced 18 years and my daughter 32, never married. We enjoy being together and thus living together. I was the one that wanted to live in the country. She was ok with it as long as not too far from work. I was actively looking. Her looking? nope. Went through some real estate agents that were not so good. Found one that did take us out "in the country" but still within 45 minutes drive from my daughter's work. I work in home health care. I can pretty much get jobs anywhere. Since I was the one looking for property, it happened that certain things kept popping up.... property taxes on many were "sky high" which made the mortgage go up at least $100 per month or much more! Or, the property was sold before we ever had a chance to go see it! This happened a LOT! Fast forward almost 2 years. One came on the market, 2 acres, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. 1500 sq. ft. Was it a manufactured home? They would NOT give us loans on those or so much hastle to get a loan. NOT a mobile or manufactured! Next day, the earliest we could go see it was 1:30. Found out there were 5 others after us. We went... really horrible rainy, icky, very cold day but we went. Loved it. Within 15 minutes we sent in offer just over asking price. Had made plans to go see others in the area so were on the way to next house. Got to that house and call came in. They had accepted our offer! They saw no one else after us. This house is a modular. If you find a modular, do NOT allow them to tell you that they are the same as a mobile home. They are NOT. Modulars are NEVER on wheels. They are NOT mobile. They are manufactured in a factory, inside a building and then the walls are placed on trucks and transported to the building site. They are put on permanent foundations. Also, instead of 4 inch walls ( 2x4 studs) our walls are 6 inches thick. God bless you all as you search for your "perfect" country home. Have we encountered problems with this house? yes... of course but nothing we can't fix or deal with. NO home is perfect? But..... we love it here.

Consecrated, dedicated workers are welcome to East TN on our Outpost.

Lord, the market is out of control because of the National Health Crisis, Lord please bless our family to be prepared from where we are to for our country home because we are running out of time.

This is just awesome!! 🙏🏾

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. God bless :)

Pretty awesome. God really leads some people in amazing ways.

Praise God

Pray for us me and my family are looking to move to Tn for country living

I would appreciate your comments on 'being in the world but not of the world.' I'm attracted to the idea of living in the country but then in such an isolated setting how does one become, 'salt and light.'

Great to hear this story, what a blessing, similar experience of being moved to where yah wanted us to go 😏

Good and brave choice!

Although no hasty moves

Joys with the boys homestead on u tube.

Great story. But you are a family with a man! That's so important. My mom and I are alone! No onr wants or can move out of the city with us. Not having a strong manly hand, means we can't afford to buy a property that's following apart or needs a lot of fixing.... We also need actually what you described a "picture perfect" because we have no idea on anything about country living. We've lived our whole lives in the city so it's really scary living alone in the country.... We've sold our property in the city but for a whole year we haven't been able to find anything suitable and in our budget range.... What are we suppose to do?.... 😢

Well, whether one lives in city or country , rich or poor ( financially) real happiness is when we believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins ( sinful human nature ) , thus inheriting His righteousness ( through faith ) that enables Holly Spirit to dwell in us. To me, worldly possessions are optional to be really happy. I live in a city ( I am 42 now ) , but planning to move into country side ( in couple of years), but, I am happy now and I will be happy then, too. as long as I keep the source of my happiness to be Holy Spirit.

this sounds really good.. but are they in debt now??? The problem i am finding is my house price has gone up in the city but country properties have gone up more than city... i dont want to do debt anymore

May I ask what they do for a living... how to make income when living in the country?

Lord, Jesus as my brother and his wife put thier home the market bless them to allow God to lead them to a country living near their jobs where they can live off the land and be a witness for the Lord and their family and friends can visit as an outpost ministry.

Oh it’s hard, older and have my own Noah’s ark to move. I need water and fences at minimum to move.

As a person of color it's so hard to find my country home, even though we can more than afford to. You are met with so much resistance and scare tactics. Cant just live anywhere like others.Just wish it was this easy for us. Sigh!!

Höhenwald means "high forest"

107 acres! You must be millionaires!

Do you know why they decided to find their country living home in Tennessee and not in Washington?

why didn't they just buy in the outskirts of where they were originally ? there is land there

My take away from this is team work, pray , trust and allow God to lead.

please I really want to find a farm house in tenesee in the hills please I need it for 50 acres or more please help health and homestead

Not sure why you believe in fairytales but glad all that worked out for you

A lot of talk about God, but not much discussion of the land features.
