Growing a Greener World

Күн бұрын

Jason Brown was the highest-paid Center in NFL history, but he walked away from a 35 million dollar contract with the St. Louis Rams. Why? He felt God's call to become a farmer. This story explores his journey of learning to farm, finding the land and growing & harvesting over 100,000 pounds of vegetables - as well as the many extraordinary events which made it all possible. First Fruits Farm donates 100% of their crops, and they host events and outreach programs to share with others the power of agriculture.

Hi! This is the very best, most interesting, most inspiring, joyful and faith filled episode of Growing a Greener World that I have ever watched! Blessed are you Jason Brown, and all of the people who made this miracle possible. Where the LORD guides, He provides! May you continue to bless His children with the food they need for their minds and bodies. I could watch episodes like this one, forever. Joe’s shows are always interesting, of course! But this one was so desperately needed to lift the spirits of so many after all the things that have happened lately. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.

I wish I could give this video 10 thumbs up. God certainly is calling His people back to the land. It has to include people who are not "farmers" so God gets all the glory. What a wonderful testimony​!!! 💕💕💕

By far one of the greatest life stories told on your show, and greatest life stories to come out of the NFL during a time filled with not so great things. I’m not religious, most likely never will given my background story. Although, my wife runs a non profit school and this story maybe a clue for me to start doing the same as Mr. Brown in my own abilities. Thank you for the story, well done to you all.

Christ doesn't look for a spotless past. He wants a relationship with you regardless of what you have to offer. He wants to forgive you if your sins (past present and future mistakes). Some of the greatest people I have ever met were once on the path to destruction but gave their heart to Christ. Don't think for a minute that God would reject you because of your past.

I left a career as an intercontinental pilot, to become a farmer. No initial knowledge, just watchihing lots of veggie growing videos on youtube and trying, failing, trying, failing and a little success was followed by continuous successes. Jason Brown should be the next President. All the best to all those who left high paying jobs to do something truly useful: become a dedicated farmer.

Dear Mr. Jason Brown, I want to commend you for your courage and wisdom on the difficult choices that you made at such a young and impressionable age. As you mentioned walking away from all the glory, prestige, money, and achievements is something that someone at any age would never unleash. You are a True Hero in my eyes and I can't tell you how grateful I am for hearing and seeing this story on Growing A Greener World. Thank You Again! Your efforts don't seem to stop especially for the outreach programs that you have provided in so many lives!!!

This dude is my hero. I don't know you as an athlete...but I know you as a fellow gardener/farmer. I just recently asked God the same question...within 8 hours I walked into the laundromat to do my 4 children's laundry...and what was laying on the folding table? A greenhouse farmers catalog. Message loud and clear. I hear you. And I got the same message from God, to give away what I grow. To invite anyone who needed anything to come and pick it...and not pay a dime. For any mother or father or anyone who wanted food to come and take it. Health comes first
