In this, the 52nd episode, Kayte and I talk about tiny house life, our daily workflow, motivation, rewards and discouragement. We get into where we "draw the line" on all sorts of issues, plus thoughtful media consumption (is Mary Poppins evil?! Should our kids only watch John Wayne movies??), dream podcast guests, and how to change the world.
Thank you for watching, sharing the podcast, leaving your thoughts and reactions as comments, and for supporting our amazing sponsors this past year. You're the best!

The Quote We Referenced:
You, enlightened, self-sufficient, self-governed, endowed with gifts above your fellows, the world expects you to produce as well as to consume, to add to and not to subtract from its store of good, to build up and not tear down, to ennoble and not degrade. It commands you to take your place and to fight your fight in the name of honor and of chivalry, against the powers of organized evil and of commercialized vice, against the poverty, disease, and death which follow fast in the wake of sin and ignorance, against all the innumerable forces which are working to destroy the image of God in man, and unleash the passions of the beast. There comes to you from many quarters, from many voices, the call of your kind. It is the human cry of spirits in bondage, of souls in despair, of lives debased and doomed. It is the call of man to his brother ... such is your vocation; follow the voice that calls you in the name of God and of man. The time is short, the opportunity is great; therefore, crowd the hours with the best that is in you.”
― John Hibben

"If it's true, it's true" I think that was a great point. Thank you for your information you are presenting. It is very informative and refreshing.
The Life Podcast is the BEST thing to hit the virtual messianic Torah community in a long time!! It is so beneficial to our lives and allows us to be introduced to all of those in our community who offer teachings, insights for life, insights for our walk as Torah observant people. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you sooooo much!! Keep doing this excellent work! It is an amazing blessing!! P.S. unrelated question - would you ever consider visiting other congregations and communities as a Guest Speaker??
Thank you for the kind words! I have done it twice. lol I love meeting people but still get nervous about talking on stage!
@@TheLife_Podcast Luke, what if we offered this- we could interview YOU! You would come as a guest speaker and we will be on stage with you asking the questions. Also, members of our community (congregation) could ask as well. We could provide you with the questions ahead of time, so you would be more prepared. It's a great vision and passion of mine to host you someday in the future. However, I will say we are a small congregation in Corsicana Texas, but we are growing. Perhaps later this year or in 2026, you could think about this offer to be a guest speaker (or as stated previously, a guest interviewee)!! We are living in such sobering and amazing times. God is doing amazing things!
I love this space...
I love Azure Standard!
Your interviews are so enriching and encouraging! Please continue the podcasts! We need this Yahuah culture in front of people... I like the long form. I don't have community of Yah followers around me, so I depend on online spaces like yours for my fellowship/encouraging sustenance. I'm praying for Yah to open a door for me to move to a more rural community with like minded believers.
But I so appreciate you both! ❤😊
Shalom
@@carolboone2620 That's so kind of you. Let's stay in touch. Ping be at thelifewithluke@gmail.com and we can discuss.
So inspirational Luke. Easy to be discouraged
The Few sounds awesome!
Love that you feature Torah Observing believers and businesses ❤

Yes! Please keep going! "The Life Podcast" is a blessing and encouragement! Especially to those of us who have no fellowship, it's such a relief to hear how others have similar struggles.
I also have to say, every episode that includes Kayte is the best! 😂 I just love seeing you two as a couple, two very different people but who are "echad" with each other and the Father. A blessing indeed! Your two dynamics balance out so perfectly.
Also, thanks for answering about kids & racism, that was excellent advice. I am grateful. 🙏🏻 😊
And finally, YES to "The Few"!! Would love to see a panel of TO women discussing topics.
Oh, someone mentioned above interviewing Luke's mom and I love that idea! She is basically the "spark" that ignited all of this. ❤
Lastly, thank you so much for sharing the illustration from the pilot how you start out with what is normal first (flying, movies, family, life, etc.) That really struck a chord with this mama. ❤
Thanks again Luke & Kayte for all you do!!! May the Father continue to bless and use you both for His honor & glory!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Luke you should interview your Mom! You mention her so frequently and her influence on your life of Torah living would be very interesting. Do you know Papa Pepper on YT? Torah observing Homesteader with a ton of kids.
Yes!
Yes! I would love to see an interview with Luke's Mom! ❤😊
So much great wisdom from both of you that I would be here all day commenting on each thing so I will just say, thank you. I really emjoyed it and found it very encouraging.
Thank you Heidi!
Yes, the FEW, Kayte and the girls -- love it! Not so "woke and evil" ... what a line, Luke.
We have really enjoyed the podcast. Please continue for us. We’ve been with y’all since The Way! Hit us up if you’re ever in north Florida. We’d love to have y’all speak to our home group!
Your podcast has been so inspiring. You have no idea the fruit that will come from it. I hope you keep doing it. Someday when I grow up I want to be on the podcast. It's going to take some of us some time, but you will find more support. There is such a groundswell that you're creating. You have no idea.
Wow, that's really great to hear. Thank you!
💯@@TheLife_Podcast
Yes!! We just found you shortly before we got your book and video from Cosmopolitan Constance…and are devouring everything! Thank you….Hope to see much more!
Thank you! We are so glad you are enjoying it!
I love the shorts you put out.
The movie topic and breakdown is absolutely great!! Yes! Yes! Post/share somewhere what entertainment is best that promote/glorify biblical truths/realities! Love y’all’s podcast!!
Beautiful revelation about self regulation when criticized, Katye! That’s deep and TRUE.
Thank you, Kayte's mom!!! I loved seeing them sitting together like that.
Nooo don’t stop.. have been greatly blessed by you… here pretty much by myself in PA.
I love the idea of a "view like" women's podcast/show!! I am so hungry for wisdom from Torah keeping women. I love it so much 💗
Ah, that's good to know! I’ll try to con Kayte into it! 😄
Also, love the name, The Few.... speaks volumes!
@@TheLife_Podcastcurrently speaking with another sister about Titus 2 and how the older women are to teach the younger so a podcast with that focus may be a great idea.
You guys do an excellent job. These podcasts are super beneficial to my walk.
You guys are a blessing
Our pleasure! Praise Yah! I guess we better continue the experiment.
Luke, when you ask "what am I doing?" Here's 1 of probably thousands of testimonies. My SIL lives with me. We're both widowed. I'm retired. She still works. She's the child of a Pentecostal pastor. I was already keeping sabbath when she moved in 2 years ago and she kept going to Sunday church but she did give up pork after we did a word search on swine in the Bible. Your interview with Jason and Amanda Towe was what clicked for her. She's also from N. Georgia and they are people she totally relates to. This is her first weekend to keep shabbat. Before, she was intentionally, fearfully doing work to avoid "trampling the grace ". it was your work and the Spirit that helped her. I never pushed because I understand the position she was in and will be in with her family.
Movies:
Adventures of the wilderness family

Thank you!! We are going to start compiling a list and will add these.
Love the podcasts you guys are great and so are the guests. I do like seeing you both together too you are adorable! Good suggestion 😊
Thank you so much! It's always fun to take with Kayte!
LOL I’m a I deserve ice-cream type of person after a long crazy day!!🤪 totally get what your saying #momlife
I would be so sad if you stopped! Keep going. Y'all are great!
Aw thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy it. We''ll do our best to keep making them!
Yes!!! You are creating an airspace where my family feels safe and comfortable. It’s so nice to hear your voices sharing the heart of our spread out community. We need you and love you! 🥰
Amen to when Luke said to follow the calendar you're convicted to follow. Remember that what we do must be done in faith or it is considered sin.(Romans 14:23)
Watching this was such a blessing. Our Father is amazing and the work He is doing in His people is beautiful to see. Personally I hope you continue the podcast but our family will be praying blessings over yours regardless of what Yah has for you in the future!
Thank you for sharing your gifts and abilities with us. I look forward to hearing more. You are both doing a wonderful work. Also, many thanks for encouraging us to produce. Praise Yah.
The off the rails moments are some of the best nuggets! Love getting a glimpse into your life and gleaning from your wisdom. This is one of my weekly sources of encouragement that I always look forward to. I hope it continues for a long long time! And man, what a dream it would be to get be on a ladies podcast with Katye. For sure would watch anything like that you put out!
40:00 I very much appreciated that if I click on anything from y’all it is fresh content and not a clipped version of something you published earlier. Thank you for not generating noise!
Well we plan to put out shorts of from interviews but haven’t gotten to it very often! Lol
Yes! I love what Kayte said about the extended community, and full conversation you get from the long format. 100% all day long 😊
Yes, of course we want this experiment to go on! This Life podcast is amazing! And shout out to your mom Kayte, seeing you both is how a podcast should be. I love this so much better. Thanks for asking for our feedback. May Yah continue to bless you both and shine His face upon you.❤
I look forward to these. Please never stop.
Luke! Your admiration and respect for one another is evident🩷💙 Keep it going and never stop! You married a beautiful bright woman who is assured of her true identity as a child of the Most High. The house Kayte entered with the intention of buying an instant pot. Wow! In spite of the Confederate flag, the interaction was positive💕 During our home schooling days, we joined a secular group for a while. I never felt more like an anomaly than I did then, lol! 💐
Definitely would love to see “The Few” 😂🎉🎉🎉 I’ve really enjoyed your content. You two have helped me and my husband unite over your videos. We started watching about six months ago during the midnight baby feedings 😊 thank you! 😂 We actually have a nickname for y’all and your podcast.
What's the nickname??
Yes, what’s the nickname? LOL
We watch you guys from Malaysia almost every week! We look forward to every new episode. It's so encouraging to hear what each one is inspired to do by the Ruach and it's inspiring us to continue our own work in and for the Kingdom. Thank you guys so much for doing this. Keep it going!
That is awesome to hear you're tuning in from Malaysia! We'll keep trying to improve and put out great interveiws.
Yes!!! My daughter and I look forward to this podcast every week. It’s very encouraging and uplifting to see the testimonies and the work our Father is doing through other brothers & sisters.
We loved watching this episode. A lot of quotable lines that had us laughing as well. Also loved the coffee commercial lol. We threw out some death wish coffee bc of the evil skull a couple months ago!
YES keep them coming! and YES loved the "wide" shot, it made it feel more like a conversation with friends, instead of constantly switching between one or the other. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
YES!! The Podcast is Incredible! Please, continue!!!!!!!!!
You both are so brilliant. More podcasts please. Up-vote for "The Few"! Great idea Kayte's mom 🙂
Love the idea of sharing “good” entertainment options.
It's the highlight of my week, except for Shabbat. You guys are awesome. We love you guys!! And Luke keep doing what you are doing. Thank you Thank you Thank you. May Yahweh bless you. From Lutzville South Africa 🇿🇦
Kayte should be on more often. She’s a natural y’all are super cute and I love your Jimmy Stewart voice.
Did I just see your thumbnail asking if y’all should continue?? OK obviously you have to do what the father leads you to do. But I really hope that you continue this work. Please don’t stop! Your work has just been such a blessing on so many levels and as time goes on, I believe it will continue to be a blessing and will become more needful than before. So I’m praying for you guys to just continue to be filled with ideas and strategy for everything you’re putting your hands to. Obviously your marriage, home and personal community have to have a priority, but I really hope that you can continue with the podcasts and documentaries books, etc.. I have appreciated everything you’ve put out and I always look forward to seeing what’s next! ❤
Wow, thank you! OK, maybe we should continue this experiment.
These are some of the best testimonies I’ve ever heard!! Would ❤ to see you interview Kingdom in Context!
So happy I found this channel 🫶🏾
Loved this episode! We got our first animals. Never had animals before and we started with 3 sheep. Within a year lost one of the moms to a bad lamb birth, had a bottle baby, lost a mom the next lambing, no babies that season, then a fellowship neighbor had sheep that were out of season and all 3 pregnant so we bought them and then back up to 5 adults ladies and 1 ram then after lambs born by June 2024 our flock was now 12. Now we have 19!! ABBA had us go through big trials and then doubled us by 6! ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That’s great. Man, we’re getting 4 ewes on Friday and I’m just going to try to keep them alive! I grew up taking care of goats and cows and horses but haven’t done it myself.
Woo hoo! We like the Gallagher fence system. Premier fencing is too hard to handle and heard sheep get caught in it and die! We haven’t used our premier fencing since getting the Gallagher and now have two Gallaghers
Love the idea of the few podcasts
Cool. I’ll try to coordinate that with Kayte.
26:20
For 45 years I was always afraid of animals because a Doberman Pinscher bit me just 1/2 inch from my eyes when I was about 6 years old!
In 2019, I was out on a consultation for being a live-in caregiver, and the couple told me "We don't have any old people here, but we rescued dogs that are about to be euthanized". I said, I have never even owned a goldfish, but I always go on consultations because I want to share the gospel. I was there from 5:45pm-12:15am talking about the gospel. So then they introduced me to their 5 dogs and I fell in love with them, especially the Pitbull. So, then I was their live-in caregiver for over 3 years. 🎉
Congratulations! Please continue your work! Love your interviews.
Absolutely continue!❤
You have to be up front with people when being hired to work for them, also. I LOVE this! You are such a beautiful, intelligent couple. AND I love the idea of the meme, Luke.
Thank you for the kind words! Yes we gotta make the meme.
Should it continue? YES.YES.
Keep it up. It's an encouragement for those who are seeking and trying to follow this path.
Like what you mom said!
Think and talk life.....the sheep and animals WILL survive even through the trail and errors . YaHoVaH abundantly bless all you set your hands to do .AMEN
A great couple! We love you Luke and Kayte! Cant wait to see the new place!
We have thoroughly enjoyed many of your interviews. Have you considered interviewing the Wallers with HaYovel? Also, Brayden and Tali Waller with Love and Purity and their influence on betrothels. Our family has watched both documentaries for these families and would love to hear an update years later from their ministry influence.
Oh! Great suggestion thank you! I will reach out to them.
Bring on The Few!!!!!!
Thanks mom!
Right! To not allow distraction is to quit focusing on it. I needed to hear that today. Thank you!
You guys are such a charming couple. Thank you for blessing me personally with all the podcasts, as well as the Patreon gatherings. As a new believer, getting exposed in rapid succession to a variety of people doing a vast array of things with their faith has been very encouraging for me. I pray for continued blessings for you and your family, and for the Father to sustain this work you’re doing for years to come!
Wow, that's amazing! Thank you so much for that.
The panel of women- LOVE this idea!! Even if it were once a month or once a quarter. You could have a round table with Amy Kay and Lea DiNonno and the woman from heart of a Torah woman (I so enjoyed your interview with her)… O believe it would be such a huge blessing. You all could pick a small range of topics between issues for TO women and current events and how we can respond biblically as women, etc. please do pray about that, Kayte, if you feel the Lord prompting that.
Yes! Please continue with The Life Podcast! I love it, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
" THE FEW" sounds awesome! I would love to see Kayte hook up with Lea from Little house on the mountain.
love the podcast… it must go on!
shalom & blessings
Please keep doing this podcast! I haven't watched even half of them yet, but I have learned so much! And I love the way Kayty put it where she said that it's nice to have a place to come and discuss things where the Torah is already assumed. You don't have to defend your beliefs or be on the offense. It's so nice to come here and hear from people who are already in this walk. I'm not saying we wouldn't benefit from some other guests like the lady that she mentioned. That could be an occasional thing to sprinkle in.
The scar analogy was perfect!! I am bi-racial born in the 70’s. It was hard but I agree with you, if you are looking for racism you will see it everywhere, even if it doesn’t exist. For example: we have some family members that are very racist and they claim that where they live there are so few black people and the neighbors don’t like them because of their race, but when we visit we see the opposite.
strengthen your soil with humus, compost and soil ammendments. get your soil tested. learn your weeds:- what weeds grow where, and what those weeds have that the soil is needing.
I loved every moment of this today. I look forward to everything you produce. Don't stop unless directed by YHVH.
I agree, tons of shorts get just noisy. So Thank you!
Thanks mom.
Amen, Katie! Yes, Luke, don't be silly. Of course, it matters!🎉❤
Love you guys! Keep 'em coming!
🫶🏼 The Few!
“because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.”
Matthew 7:14 KJV
Thank You Matthew, that's a good entro to The Few😊
I just found you, please stay!!!! Brava, HalleluYAH!!!!
Keep up the great work! Wonderful to here what The Father is doing among the wider faith-family of Torah Pursuers. Would love to hear an interview with Barry Phillips of 'Remnant of Yisrael', with Bill Cloud of 'Jacob's Tent', with Pastor Traver from 'Everyday Torah', with singer/podcaster Christine Jackman, with Scott Vanyo from 'Torah Truth for Today', with William Sanford, and podcaster Greg Widener to name a few. 🙂
I would love to see Melody Joy Williams. Her music is beautiful and I love listening to her Bible readings.
If you think about short videos as a invitation tool, an digital business card, and you see them as part of a strategy to bring people to your business, it makes more sense. It can be a powerfull tool to create awareness. That's why all the big dogs do them.
Keep on going!!! Love your channel!
To replenish your land much quicker and naturally by the way that Yah made nature to replenish soil, lol into "back to Eden gardening"!!! There's a documentary by that name on RUclips about a guy named Paul, who I think coined the term. But then there is also tons of other videos on RUclips of people who, since the documentary came out years ago, are testing it, trying it and doing it. Back to Eden gardening! You will not be disappointed!
I watched that. We actually tried it on Kayte’s garden but I think I cut some corners and messed it up! Will check it out again.
I love your thoughts about movies and entertainment! HalleluYah! You’re right on target. 😊
One of my standards is that if there’s no good guy/hero in the movie, I’m not watching it. One wicked dude fighting against some other semi wicked dude cancels each other out and they’re at ZERO. NOT INTERESTED.
I'd watch the Few!!
Next to Luke, I'm the most humble man I know 😂....
I love your podcast and listen to it every Shabbat morning while I enjoy a nice long and quite bath lol 😂
Shaun the Sheep!!! Another children’s animation with no words! Very clean!
Continue, continue, continue!
Even the Pathway Readers are fiction! I so agree about the value of fiction.
Can you invite on your podcast Drew and Karen Porter with their ministry, Deliverance Education and Support for Torah Keepers? They have POWERFUL testimonies of Hebrews getting free from bondage and sin!!!
If Abba is providing enough for you all to live and thrive on and showing you this is helping His Kingdom, PLEASE DO. But if Abba is speaking otherwise, listen to Him. He'll make this enough if this is the end. Whatever you all do with His guidance, thank you. As Katie said, I feel like I know you all. Abba has used your available resources to open cracked doors, share the beauty and love of our Messiah to strangers and encourage those He seeks to flourish! You all are prayed for and interceded for. May He grant you His provision, protection, passion and His potency be evident in your lives and bloodline for a thousand generations. Praying that the Whole Bible part of the body starts shaking the world so much for Yeshua that you all have a glut of folks to choose from about doing REAL Kingdom work. Bo Yeshua Bo!
Yes yes The Few
Podcasts are just conversations...thus they will never go out of style. Ever seen the classic movie, My Dinner With Andre? It's a whole movie that's just 1 conversation over dinner. I loved that movie...because it was good conversation!
Natural childbirth, raising children, sex, pregnancy, marriage...some good topics
And healing when these things don't go the way you hoped/invested.
I love the idea for The Few. I’ll be on it! lol. I’m totally unknown. Welp. I’ll watch.
This was great! Thanks! Hey that verse that you guys mentioned during the movie chatter....it was when you mentioned not watching movies where women are in battle....what was that verse? That movie talk was REALLY good!
Would love to know too!
We have bought from Azure before in fact had dinner last night at our sons in Walla Walls , Washington and had Azures products.
That’s awesome. They’re a great company. Picking up an order today.
@@TheLife_Podcast we also go to a Torah believing fellow here in Eastern Washington
@@TheLife_Podcast Oh also we had a tour of the Azure warehouse this past fall in Oregon . Wow is it huge , they just doubled there warehouse size . Got to meet the family .
I would L❤VE The Few! I'd love to watch, participate, all the things. I don't have children, so I can't speak to any of those topics, unfortunately.
Oh no! Not the sin of the Wendy's Frosty. That requires three mikvah washings and covering yourself in sackcloth and ashes for a day. At evening you will be clean once again.
lol!
Love the idea of “the few”
