I am a former registered nurse, I was taught the "corporate " way to heal, but it didn't work for me. I spent 2 years on my couch, until I found good, clean food and natural healing through herbs and such. Now I'm up at 5am, I work my farm every day, and I feel 100 percent! Doing it Gods way!
@@AAHomeGardening @AAHomeGardening, I new to gardening, and I've made some mistakes, but I'm finding that I absolutely LOVE IT! Seeing things grow is so miraculous and amazing!
Sometimes if we just be quiet and get out of His way He will help us through everything. They sure didn't teach us that in nursing school did they now?
Danny I'm a couple years older than you, I grew up with an outhouse, no hot water heater, wringer washer. We lived in what was called a basement Daddy built for a few years until he could build another house. It had a linoleum rug on top of a dirt floor. We worked hard but we were debt free and happy. We had what we needed and the patience to wait for it.
Back in the day the reason behind spring break was so the kids could help the local farmers get crops into the ground and summer break was so kids could help in the fields. That was the whole reasoning behind those two school breaks. They earned a little cash and the farmers got help. It was truly a win win situation and we need to head back that way.

Boy I can relate, we moved to the suburbs thinking we are doing the right thing for many reasons; but that lasted 8 years and the Lord said - I see your heart isn’t full, I see you trying to rebuild what you gave up and that’s not possible. April 24th 2020 was our rebirth to having a second chance to make it right, today I stand proud and say - We are blessed to have been given that chance again to live the Life that fulfills our needs, not our wants. My health is so much better; because I have the best Hands in the world lifting me up and giving me strength to rejoice in the Blessings I’m receiving.
Amen!! Im no city or 'burb dweller. We live 30 min from nearest small town. LOL. I love it. We chose to buy land and live in our RV until we can build our own home. Years ago I'd have never done this. It isn't easy. But i felt strongly that this is how we were supposed to do it. We certainly couldn't do it any other way.
@@320homestead9 we did that too. It took four years and hubby says he is never going camping again LOL but it was worth living in that camper to get the home done and not owe a bank for it!!!
@@shodson314 well I have been in it since 2016. But we didn't find and buy the land until 2018. I don't mind it most days but there are days....😁 i mainly go crazy during bad weather when i can't be outside. Or REALLY bad weather when i want a hole to hide in. 😂
@@320homestead9 some days the constant moving ten things to do one activity and then returning everything back where it was did get old but mostly it’s a wonderful life to sit on your own land and listen to the birds, insects etc.
Was raised the same way you were. Paid my house off early cause I hated the payments. If I don't have cash for something, I don't buy it. Don't have the biggist house or the newest car and truck, but I have no debt.
The best thing you said 'God never intended for it to be like this". Rules, rules, rules for the rules, laws, laws, so many intrusions and complications you want to just scream "Leave me alone to live in peace!"
We're still working on our permaculture homestead. Year 6 and making it our own little piece of heaven. Big planting day today in the no-till garden. Peas, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, cabbage, and broccoli, lettuce, spinach, and carrots today. Already have 600 onion sets and 200 ft of potatoes. Expanding to a second garden for sweet potato, squash, and zucchini. We had snow and freezing temperatures last week here in southern Indiana. Today's high 83 were 2 weeks behind from last year. Looking at a high tunnel if we get another stimulus check. Living the dream raising our two grand daughters and life is good. Challenging days ahead growing as much food as we can and will have emergency solar system backup finished soon. God has blessed us and at 70 we're still working hard every day and becoming more self sufficient and less dependant on the system. PEACE BROTHERS AND SISTERS 🙏💙 ANOTHER GREAT PORCH TIME BROTHER DANNY!
My husband is in construction & he told me last night that Houston was out of Romex! They made construction 'workers' essential but not factories where they create the supplies! It's crazy! Love ya'll, Love Porch Time! 😁💖
My husband retired at the end of 2019. This year we paid off our house so we are now debt free! It feels awesome! Debt is a horrible thing. It is amazing how free you feel without debt! It took a lot of hard work but so worth it!
We live in city limits. One neighbor has a pet goat & pet pig. In past, the goat slipped out of the fenced yard. A police officer stopped & put him back in the yard. I have 2 pet chickens that supply me with 2 eggs per day. Another neighbor recently had their sewer lines checked out. The sewer guy, who does not live here, noticed the goat & pig. My little chicken house was @ corner of my front porch. He didn't see my girls. After the sewer guy left, he reported the pig & goat to the city. As long as no one complains, city doesn't care about the animals. The lady who has the pig & goat is going to court to protect her rights from a busybody. My kids moved my girls to back yard . took pains to hide their coop. I have cancer & it was easier for me to sit on front porch & visit my girls. One good thing, my neighbors both were born here & know almost everybody. I imagine nobody will want to hire him after they think about him minding other people's business.
Elizabeth we used to live in the city and our neighbor had 3 chickens ( started as Easter chicks for the kids ) but the neighbor across the street noticed the chickens in the backyard and called city ordinance on them. It made me so angry. I loved seeing them run around in their backyard. They were hens so no crowing was happening. People just need to mind their own business....Including that sewer man ( Yeah Ernest I said Sewer man, because that guy didn't deserve the respect to be called a plumber ).
@@ernestwalden3894 do plumbers work on sewers? If thats the job they were hired for, then thats what they will be known by. There’s nothing disrespectful about being called a sewer guy.
Our son is a Pastor and shared that same verse with me when I was down about whether I should plant flowers and fix-up the yard, sadly that's how the world wants us to feel. My yard now has flowers 😊
Check out edible landscaping. It doesn't have to LOOK like a 'garden' to BE a garden. Nothing wrong with a tomato plant on the porch in a 5 gal. bucket.
Yep, but I learned everything I needed to know from Dave Ramsey in about 2 weeks of listening. Get out of debt and stay out. Duh...And he also give bad investment advice. He was 100% wrong about gold and I assume Bitcoin (I had stopped listening by then). Thankfully I didn't listen to his investment advice. Also his stance on tithing is wrong. Check out Russell Kelly for the facts of that. Some good but a lot is not so good and he is arrogant about it.
I'm 40 so not real old yet. But I remember as a kid my grandparents used to tell my siblings and I how their house was just one room with an outhouse out back until they built onto it. They used to take us to the garden and show us what they had planted. Rhubarb was the one plant that stuck with me. I love nature and would rather be around it. My husband thinks I'm crazy. But he will see when things fall. Your videos inspire me to do better than I am now. My kids can't even go outside and ask everyday when we're getting our land.
Buy as soon as you can. There are people who will carry the paper so you don't have to get a loan. But people from cities are selling out and buying land with cash now. There were 3 places near me owned by a neighbor. All 3 sold in one month recently.
People don't realize how bad inflation is. My first home cost $25,500. Of all the cars I've had, most cost under $2000. I only bought a new car once for my husband in 1975 ($2450 and sold it 10 years later for $2500) and once for myself in 1983 ($5757 but $8787 out the door). When it lasted 193,000+ miles I just started buying that make with 100k miles on it and driving it another almost 100k. In high school in the early 1970s we bought full size candy bars in bulk for a nickle and sold them for a dime. What are they now? $2.xx each and they're smaller? My first horse cost $6 to trim and $20 for shoes all the way around. Now it costs $20-$40 for a trim (depending on where you live -- probably even higher some places). And shoes are I don't $100+? I could buy 3 wire 120 lb. bales of alfalfa for $4.25 in the field and $7.25 at the feed store. Now they're well over $20 each. We haven't seen anything, yet. It is really taking off now. Shortages are here and worsening. Hyper-inflation is coming.
Last year after pruning my tomato plants I stuck all of the branches into the ground. I was able to pick tomatoes off of them. I dug some plants and potted them. I kept them in a south window all winter. They dropped their leaves in January. Today I have lots of new growth and blossoms!
I do the same and eat tomatoes and bell peppers all year long to go with my microgreens. Some of them are over 2 years old now so I took the suckers and planted them to keep me in tomatoes until the new plants produce.
Thank you for this!!!! We put a fence around the vegetable garden and a buck must've broke through where the fence meets the house. Went out to water the garden yesterday only to discover my brandywine tomato plants broke off, about halfway up the plant. Now I know what to do with the tops!! God bless you
Had to pause half way through to comment . I'm 70 this year, grew up the same way. Had an out-house and hand pump well until I was about 10 . Ah yes, stud walls , no insulation and a Pot Belly stove. You Sir brought back some wonderful memories , hunt and fish ALL DAY long ..They would put Mom&Dad in jail for all the things I was allowed to do.
I helped in building a really nice house for an elderly couple back in the early 80's. The gentleman was a retired plumber and knew like a lot of us how to do most anything but because of age just wasn't able to do this house. They wanted a full basement and the back side was completely exposed. The lady of the house wanted an old timey kitchen, wood and cook stove for daily use and canning. She wanted a dirt floor! The county inspectors told them they could not do that. Shorten the story, the old timer paid cash for it all, told the inspectors and county what they could do and mom got her dirt floor. Keep preaching it Danny, we've got to start standing up for what is ours. Love you and Ms. Wanda!
Actually tearing up listening to you talk about how it was in those simple days. Truly saddens me. I didn’t growup on a farm but I did growup with a family of morals and sustainable living. Gardening with my papa was just the coolest thing. Learned alot from him. Life lessons.
I remember being in my granny’s garden when I was little. Everyone came over and shucked corn and shelled peas. Then we went to my aunts fruit orchard and everyone picked different fruit and then we made jellies.
Thanks for this Danny! We are currently doing Dave Ramsey, my husband took out a lot of student loans for school at predatory rates (13% interest most of them!) and we made some poor choices when we were newly married. I work a few days a month but have always stayed home for the most part with my son. He’s now 3 and our parents are available now to watch him more, so we will both be picking up extra hours to get our debt paid off faster. Never again will I sign for something I cannot pay for! We also will be home schooling our son (and any future children), that’s practically a cuss word now a days! However, I know my son will learn gardening, preserving, animal husbandry, carpentry, finances and so many things that aren’t deemed important in school anymore!
My grandmothers raised me. Although we didn't have a farm, they did garden. I learned lots of lessons shelling peas and shucking corn. My grandparents would go to u picks, or buy fruit and veggies in bulk to preserve.
I can barely walk these days... bad knee... but I'm still gardening and canning. I want my own food in my canning jars. I know what's in them, how they were grown, etc. I'll do that until my body gives out and goes home. Period.
Look into grounding/earthing. All it really takes is a big nail in the ground, copper wire wound around it, an alligator clip, and a roll of metal tape to connect to the wire and taped on your bed. My ankle used to be twice it's size, now it is normal and pain-free!
@@dianayoung2107 grounding helps some things but if you don't have cartilage left in your knee which is the cause of most knee issues, grounding doesn't help.
Yep. Prices are going up on food and other items. $7 for a very small watermelon at the store the other day. I told my husband from now on we will just wait, grow our own, and have a watermelon feast in August and September. Another reason for growing your own food.
Thank you, Danny. we have 4 very OLD cars, but they are pd off. Working on paying off the property and house we bought in November last year, paying as much as we can each month. I hope to leave it to my children and grandchildren to grow and live on. I agree with you that we are targeting and they have made it next to IMPOSSIBLE to live without going into debt. Please keep teaching, preaching, and preparing us for the future.
Just love that phrase. Someone should have told me that 30 or 40 years ago. My daddy would say things simular when I was a kid but I didn't know what he was trying to tell me. Thank you for porch talk. 🙏
DANNY: "Pardon my language, but I'm fired up today..." ME: BOOKMARK - BEST PORCH TIME EVER! (turns up "Country Boy Can Survive" by HWJ ) . What would Jesus Do? He'd be flipping tables and whipping the liars and cheats LONG ago...
I would have lost it with people driving across my property as well. Also, according to modern building structures, you will never have the off grid cabin "complete" and "livable" so they should never be able to tax you on it.
@@DeepSouthHomestead I'm surprised that works. Good job. You need a gate with a lock and fences to keep them out! They'd have to drive through a fence to get here.
Just cannot beat your commonsense, logical approach. We are targeted however we get to choose how much we let the world influence us and our decision making. Give me a God fearing simple life over the stressful debt laden world anyday. We were not meant to be constantly chasing bigger and better but learning the peace and joy to be found in the simple things.
I'm very busy creating new garden spaces and planting this year. I have a 70 foot long garden, 17 raised beds, a 50 foot cottage garden, (2) more 30x30 gardens, and a 30 x 40 garden along with a fruit orchard of 17 trees and a few are fruit bearing now. Also got some blackberries, raspberries, 120 strawberries, hazelnuts, and black walnuts that are producing. On about 1.5 acres.
Mr. Danny, I'm trying really hard to become debt free please pray for me. In the past year I've paid off 5 bills and now I'm on to the big high $ ones. These are the tough ones that I need prayer for. Thank you for the encouragement and the words of GOD. It helps a lot. GOD BLESS YOU.
Karen, we're working on paying off our mortgage, and it's tough, because unless something miraculous happens, it will take several years. It's hard to stay motivated when something takes so long. So I recommend setting some milestone goals. For instance, first we set a goal of owing less than $100,000. We celebrated when we hit that goal. Now we're trying to get below $90,000. We'll celebrate when that happens. These small wins help us to feel like we're accomplishing something even when we still have so far to go.
It can be done. What are you willing to do without? Took 20 yrs off of career to do the best job ever. Started in 1991 went back to career in 2016. We had everything on one paycheck. What ever I made was an extra. It can be done. Smaller house with three boys in one bedroom, square foot gardening in the yard, each family member had one 4x4 bed to take care of, canning done to have food for the winter, kiddos got one activity until high school. We did what we could. The kiddos have picked this up as well. We saved a lot in child care. No birthday parties, we took the money for family trip like camping instead. Roughing it as much as possible. Looked for the best discounts. Every family is different. Just change your thinking.
My mother had to go to work at an early age. Reason? My grandfather was ill and committed suicide in 1930. My grandmother went to work as Postmaster to support herself and three children, my mother being the oldest. My grandmother started showing signs of dementia, and my mother had to go to work to help her fix her mistakes. In 1942, my mother became FT postmaster. Things did not change when she married in 1951. My dad worked in the post-office to support his sister (who had been raised as a spoiled brat) and did NOTHING. Mother always said that "Daddy worked to support his Sister. My Mother worked to support herself and me." My Best~~ Mary@EDGEFIELD
Now thats a new phrase I've never heard! So poor I painted my feet brown and laced up my toes! 🤣🤣 Thats a good one! Danny you are spot on! Preach it brother! You and Wanda have a blessed day!
I already know I am targeted. So, regardless, find your True ‘self’ and be the person God meant for you to be. I found that person when I was in my late teens, but I lost my way for forty years and wandered the wilderness. Two years ago, my ego died and I didn’t know who I was. Now, I am doing what I was meant to do. I had to learn from tons of mistakes along the way. I am going to be what I want to be, not what the ‘system’ wants me to be. I have gotten rid of all my loans except that ‘d’ house note, but I am working on that right now. You sound like my grandfather. Hey moved in, my grandma said they moved in with tarps for the walls and the roof and he had never built a house. My grandmother said he had no idea what he was doing, but you ought too see what a beautiful house he built. My aunt is 90 years old and still lives in that house. I told her that I would one day want to buy that house and I will truly be back home. I lived my first 3 years in that house...
Ken you sound like exactly where I am in my life! Wow. Our generation got snowed by garbage lies of the 80s & 90’s - the last 3 years I’ve finally been happy not having loans and debt with non-necessities. It was such a waste of 40 years always thinking I needed new things
Loved this chat, Danny... I have talked to so many people about the real issues, that being, local "Zoning" laws and the "protective covenants" on lands becoming more and more intrusive and denying folks RIGHTS to build their own house and live how they want... We here in Ohio have to go way out into the hills to find unzoned lands to build a homestead (which is probably true for most areas), but either way, people are not as free as they think they are. Gonna keep praying.... Amen again. Thanks for the chat.
Wise words Danny. I have a 15 year Old cargo van I bought new. Have no plans on trading in. Cheaper to repair as needed than buying a new one. Years ago I emptied my 401k to buy my property to keep from having a mortgage. I may not have much money but I don’t owe payments on car or property.
Mark my words, corporations will then make things to last(just like the good ol’ days), and then rent them to us for decades; far overpaying what those item’s value is if we were to purchase them.
@@the1plantguy Not at all Michael. Corporations will make disposable items so you have to constantly buy new ones or upgrade. There is not a corporation out there willing to make products that last 10 years or more. Look at the Iphone. Most people want one and every year they come out with an uopgraded model. Hell even the chargers for the phones arent able to be used. Society and corporations stick it to the people.
@@alfa_romeo55yush82 where did corporations get their money? How can we defund them? Stop buying their stuff and start making what you need. You would be surprised how easy it is, to an extent. We need a revival of self made and self making people.
My husband and I used Dave Ramsey's Plan and paid off all our debt except the mortgage. I think it's great to teach kids gardening skills. I'm doing that with my 14 year old right now. My other two adult children are college students. I also homeschool.
Oh, bless you, baby! We just bought our homestead in November after many years of searching, praying, yearning, and hard work!You CAN AND WILL GET THERE! It takes God and a dream and He will give you the desires of your heart!
Mr Danny, Great video Sir. I drove by a farmers house the other day and he had a pile of pallets(It had to be 100 of them) and I thought what on earth is he gonna do with all those pallets. Well this is the genus thing he is doing with them. He has fences to mend to keep the cattle in so he's gonna pull all the (free) pallets apart and mend his fences. Pure genus right there. One man's trash is another man's treasure right there.
My history is very similar to yours and I'm in my 60's also. As a kid my family was mostly self sufficient, we were farmers 700 acres of dairy, beef cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry, corn, wheat, soy beans & hay. I've lived all these extra costs added to everything due to regulations and laws imposed little by little over time. Roadblocks implemented by building permits and codes which added costs to getting started and then dealing with the banks to borrow money, more than you needed to spend to get your project under way, only to find out that you don't earn enough money to satisfy the bankers to secure the loan due to government regulations and the bank requirements. Over the years the new normal became a burden very hard to overcome and the younger people never knew about the freedom and liberty we had just a few decades earlier. I wholeheartedly agree with today's talk, you and Wanda do an awesome job getting information out to many other people. Godspeed.
When I was 12 TV's were just coming in to households. Dad and Mom said, "If you want a TV you'll have to save the money for it. My babysitting money went towards that TV and my brothers earned money with odd jobs. When we got that TV we were so proud that we all worked together and it was ours. I think the biggest mistake is give your kids cell phones. We can't stop progress but training begins at home.
I could type 60 words a minute at one time. Now I have heard first hand that kids are now getting tunnel syndrome in their thumbs sue to cell phones. They are NOT living in creation but a cyber world. May as well be the "Matrix".
Rusty Nails , I have a friend that has three boys. Each boy has his own $400.00 video game player. Complete with 48" flat screens. So , at least a $1,000.00 each. These boys are never disapplined ! Which results in them doing whatever they want. break windows , make holes in the walls , whatever. They lived with me for awhile until I had to ask him to leave as his boys were destroying my house. They will soon be grown and God help us , they will be driving on public roads.
@@donaldmiller8629 To many parents want to be "friends" with their kids. It doesn't work. Parents need to be the educator in their home, teaching them to grow up to be responsible humans. Sorry for the pain.
I came back in and grabbed another cup of coffee ( I know...bad!) and sat down for a minute to read the comments of this video. Then, something made me look at my cup. I call this one my "Journey" cup because it says that on the cup. But, you know what else it says? It has Jeremiah 29:11 on it. "For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. They are plans for good and not of diaster, to give you a future and a hope." I thought that was cool that I pulled this cup this morning to drink out of. You referred to this exact scripture in your video.
@@kookietherapy9398 I'm glad your comment made me come back here and see that again. That day, I needed to see, hear and feel that scripture. Same today.
"Targeted" is such a perfect term! Thing is, you can ignore the hype - it's all about free choice. To heck with "appearances". We wanted to retire early which meant getting out of debt. Had to make choices: new cars or old? Got rid of the new and fancy, got ones older and basic. Our vehicles are 11 and 14 years old, and husband keeps them well maintained. Got rid of our weekend getaway at a local lake, saved thousands. Vacations? Nah, haven't taken one in 10 years - watching the vegetable garden bloom while steaks are grilling is better than snorkeling in the Bahamas anyway ;-) We chose that and retired at 62 and 58, respectively, with no debt. For the last couple of years we've been looking for more rural, more land, more South than Indiana. There's just nothing out there unless you're wealthy. We're kind of past the build your own now, and we renovated a dozen homes over the years so we know the work. Sure do envy your set-up and can agree 1000% on spineless sheep and entitled "officials". Love your porch time talks!
Danny, I love your porch time! Your perspective is so much like mine It is truly the truth, Gods word. I feel for my grandkids. All I can do is teach them, as much as I know. About the good book, life, and the how to's. Take care my friend. Hello to Miss Wanda, as well.
Danny you make me so proud. I am proud because we (you & I ) are so like minded that we could be cut from the same mold. When I comes to debt I have not had a payment for anything in over 40 years and in a few months I will be 70. I have had so many people look at me like I had to heads for the way I live and the way I think. So G_d bless you just keep doing what your doing as you are not alone.
There are things going on today that will have ramifications for years if not decades to come. My grandchildren will have a very hard time. Teach them the old ways so they can live a better life. May God Bless you and your family
Morning Y’all , just when I think you can’t outdo the last Porch Time, you go and outdo yourself ! I’am listening and I’am doing ! We made a deal I said “ you keep teaching & I’ll keep learning “ ! Seems we both are keeping our deal ! Very Good, Thanks Danny !
PREACH!!! Yessssssssss! All. Of. This! 🙌👏🙏❤️ Best porch time talk! I have shared this with quite a few people and *every* single person has subbed! Why? Because you're speaking truth and God's word! God bless you! 🙏❤️🙏
God bless you Danny. I'd have given a pretty to be a bird on a limb the day those guys tried to cross your dam. I love it when your passion comes out. Again, God bless you guys and thanks for the lift.
Hello Danny and Wanda, thank you for that massage it is so real. Me and my sister have planted a couple of gardens. Thank you again for all your true messages. May God keep Blessing you both.
Boy, can I relate... This man tells it like it is. I'm 60. And I thank God everyday that I'm not a young man. I remember much of what Danny speaks of. As a little boy. As I see it, this country is over. Guys like Danny are a vanishing breed. I have so much respect for you Mr Danny. I'm holding the line out here to. My house is paid for. Wasn't easy. Kept my homeowners insurance going. 34 yrs with State Farm, never a claim. Premiums kept going up up up. I tried Farmers, same thing . So now I'm uninsured. Told them to take a hike. Spending that money on tree removal and certain key upgrades. My state farm agent goes, "You can't do that" I said " the hell I cant"..
I'm one of the few who bought a house for $300,000 and sold it for 1 million dollars in California. I'm also one of the few who moved to 9 acres of farmland in Tennessee and retired. I also got the property taxes frozen with no buildings on it and now live in a custom house with a full basement and a 24' ft x 84' ft garage and barn completely debt free. I bought pre-engineered steel structures that are completely non- combustable as an owner--builder that is off the grid. It's the only way to beat the system that I know of and it took 12 years of planning to accomplish. I also went from a 38% tax bracket to a 12% tax bracket where the cost of living is 40% less just to live a simple life in the country.
Amen brother Danny! I love watching your porch time. I always look forward to hearing about our Savior Jesus Christ wish it was a every day video lol. May God bless you and your family and keep you safe Amen 💯❤️🙏
I completely agree. I remember the stories of the Great Depression that my family lived through. I'm planting like there's no tomorrow, because 'tomorrow' is going to look like nothing that the younger generation has ever seen. Many will be bewildered, and in a wilderness, of sorts. I'm no spring chicken, but I'm planting and gardening as much every day that my little bitty body can manage. I'm worn out, at the end of the day, after starting as soon as the sun rises, taking a break in the heat of the day, then back at it in the evening. I sometimes wish I had the strength of a man, to move things around and do things faster, but I know it will eventually get done. Thank you for your encouraging words. May the Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
I have a friend here in Indiana that have a construction company. They always by the old Menards rental trucks. They have one that's over 10 years old. My daddy used to say keep the oil changed it'll last forever hey
Popular culture made me focus on all the things I was missing out on by growin up in the south. As I get older, I appreciate the culture and geography that I was lucky enough to be born into. I really appreciate the anti-establishment, self reliant ways of my family.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Danny. My husband and I are DR followers as well. While we live in a subdivision, we owe NO one for anything (including our home). We have contemplated moving out to a piece of property, but the cost of housing (whether buying an established home or having one built) is outrageous. So, we are staying where we are, and doing EVERYTHING that we can for ourselves. Until the time is right (I know God will show me when that is) to make our move. I hope you and Wanda stay safe. ~ Stephanie
Tell us how you really feel, Danny! Lol. I grew up wearing feed sack dresses, no running water in a dogtrot house with a wood heater and an outhouse. My parents lived like no one else so they could live like no one else. And they did. So have I.
You nailed it Danny. I live in California and we are trapped. We could sell our home for a profit but our families live locally. My wife does not want to leave the state. With people fleeing California, the prices in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, etc have skyrocketed.
Same boat here! I transformed our small 7200 sqft property into a kind of homestead. Raise chickens for eggs and meat, turned my front yard into a garden with fruit trees, and use the waste from animals as fertilizer. The city didnt like my chickens and I am trying to work with them to allow people in residential zoning to raise “reasonable” livestock on their property provided they use management practices that eliminate odors and noise. The city is working on that now. The sad thing is that our city was a very heavily agricultural city with dairies and farms. We have gotten so far away from that here and they don’t allow people more than three chickens on their property and they have to get prior approval.
Hello from east Ky. I was led to get back to gardening last year. It was very fruitful. A lady at church reminded me of the 7 years of feast that was followed by seven years of famine in the days of Joseph in the Bible. Great advice!
Was watching on the tube and had to get on here just to say ! Brother's this show gave me chills how correct you are, we're being lead like sheep. Yes buy your land and build your Home yourself Yes we can break the rules of Bill Gates buying up all this farmlands, and nothing left for your children, Now is the time! Great sermon y'''''all 🙏🏼🇺🇸
It was just amazing to see how after being all fired up at the ways of man, you mentioned the word of the Lord, and the joy and peace just replaced all that. Beautiful to see.
Thank you. I live outside the US but I see it coming, the control, the intrusion into everybody's life. Ordinary- people are going to have a hard time. The very rich appear to all be sociopathic. Their new message is 'You will own nothing and you will be happy ". They're talking about a renting/shared economy, pushing the idea, but who is going to own all the stuff we rent/share?
You remind me of my Dad they came out to perk the land in 86 and told him that it wouldn't work my Dad said I am going to build a house right here... you do what you got to .. We dug those footers with a tiller and a shovel. I am proud to say my Dad lives in that house we built to this day. I bought land right beside him. Love your videos.
I am a former registered nurse, I was taught the "corporate " way to heal, but it didn't work for me. I spent 2 years on my couch, until I found good, clean food and natural healing through herbs and such. Now I'm up at 5am, I work my farm every day, and I feel 100 percent! Doing it Gods way!
Beulah Acres Homestead, well done
Herbs are for the healing of the nation and gardening is very therapeutic

Danny I'm a couple years older than you, I grew up with an outhouse, no hot water heater, wringer washer. We lived in what was called a basement Daddy built for a few years until he could build another house. It had a linoleum rug on top of a dirt floor. We worked hard but we were debt free and happy. We had what we needed and the patience to wait for it.
Right there with you. It's strange, I didn't feel poor, but we were. The skills we learned are being lost. GOD bless
Amen
You may not of realized it at the time but you had something money cant buy.
Back in the day the reason behind spring break was so the kids could help the local farmers get crops into the ground and summer break was so kids could help in the fields. That was the whole reasoning behind those two school breaks. They earned a little cash and the farmers got help. It was truly a win win situation and we need to head back that way.
Good luck they are all hooked to their cell phones we all got to spend less time on social media and be an example for them

I could type so much here but let me tell you what son this is one of the BEST porch times yet. AMEN AND AMEN!!!
Too many people are worried about showing off, or having the biggest home
Boy I can relate, we moved to the suburbs thinking we are doing the right thing for many reasons; but that lasted 8 years and the Lord said - I see your heart isn’t full, I see you trying to rebuild what you gave up and that’s not possible. April 24th 2020 was our rebirth to having a second chance to make it right, today I stand proud and say - We are blessed to have been given that chance again to live the Life that fulfills our needs, not our wants. My health is so much better; because I have the best Hands in the world lifting me up and giving me strength to rejoice in the Blessings I’m receiving.
Glad your health is much better

Amen!! Im no city or 'burb dweller. We live 30 min from nearest small town. LOL. I love it. We chose to buy land and live in our RV until we can build our own home. Years ago I'd have never done this. It isn't easy. But i felt strongly that this is how we were supposed to do it. We certainly couldn't do it any other way.
@@320homestead9 we did that too. It took four years and hubby says he is never going camping again LOL but it was worth living in that camper to get the home done and not owe a bank for it!!!

ANOTHER GREAT PORCH TIME BROTHER DANNY!
My husband is in construction & he told me last night that Houston was out of Romex! They made construction 'workers' essential but not factories where they create the supplies! It's crazy! Love ya'll, Love Porch Time! 😁💖
Typical bean counters and evil-doers. They have no common sense.
My husband retired at the end of 2019. This year we paid off our house so we are now debt free! It feels awesome! Debt is a horrible thing. It is amazing how free you feel without debt! It took a lot of hard work but so worth it!
Please stop bragging. nobody needs your EGO TRIP.
Raise your frequency to Love
I'm debt free and it is a great feeling to have a home no one can take from you because you don't have money! Now your house and money is yours!
We live in city limits. One neighbor has a pet goat & pet pig. In past, the goat slipped out of the fenced yard. A police officer stopped & put him back in the yard. I have 2 pet chickens that supply me with 2 eggs per day. Another neighbor recently had their sewer lines checked out. The sewer guy, who does not live here, noticed the goat & pig. My little chicken house was @ corner of my front porch. He didn't see my girls. After the sewer guy left, he reported the pig & goat to the city. As long as no one complains, city doesn't care about the animals. The lady who has the pig & goat is going to court to protect her rights from a busybody. My kids moved my girls to back yard . took pains to hide their coop. I have cancer & it was easier for me to sit on front porch & visit my girls. One good thing, my neighbors both were born here & know almost everybody. I imagine nobody will want to hire him after they think about him minding other people's business.
There called plumbers mot sewer guys. Sewer guys is disrespectful to plumbers and working class people
Neighbors will fuq you up.
Elizabeth we used to live in the city and our neighbor had 3 chickens ( started as Easter chicks for the kids ) but the neighbor across the street noticed the chickens in the backyard and called city ordinance on them. It made me so angry. I loved seeing them run around in their backyard. They were hens so no crowing was happening. People just need to mind their own business....Including that sewer man ( Yeah Ernest I said Sewer man, because that guy didn't deserve the respect to be called a plumber ).
@@ernestwalden3894 do plumbers work on sewers? If thats the job they were hired for, then thats what they will be known by. There’s nothing disrespectful about being called a sewer guy.
@@ernestwalden3894 maybe she meant the septic cleaner guy?
Our son is a Pastor and shared that same verse with me when I was down about whether I should plant flowers and fix-up the yard, sadly that's how the world wants us to feel. My yard now has flowers 😊
Glad you planted the flowers. I plan to have more sunflowers in my garden this year.
Check out edible landscaping. It doesn't have to LOOK like a 'garden' to BE a garden. Nothing wrong with a tomato plant on the porch in a 5 gal. bucket.
I love Dave Ramsey’s teachings! I used to watch his television program years ago! I loved it when people would call in and scream “ we are debt free”!
Yep, but I learned everything I needed to know from Dave Ramsey in about 2 weeks of listening. Get out of debt and stay out. Duh...And he also give bad investment advice. He was 100% wrong about gold and I assume Bitcoin (I had stopped listening by then). Thankfully I didn't listen to his investment advice. Also his stance on tithing is wrong. Check out Russell Kelly for the facts of that. Some good but a lot is not so good and he is arrogant about it.
I'm 40 so not real old yet. But I remember as a kid my grandparents used to tell my siblings and I how their house was just one room with an outhouse out back until they built onto it. They used to take us to the garden and show us what they had planted. Rhubarb was the one plant that stuck with me. I love nature and would rather be around it. My husband thinks I'm crazy. But he will see when things fall. Your videos inspire me to do better than I am now. My kids can't even go outside and ask everyday when we're getting our land.
The sooner to get land, the better.
Food shortages are happening by design. Just watch Ice Age Farmer.
Buy as soon as you can. There are people who will carry the paper so you don't have to get a loan. But people from cities are selling out and buying land with cash now. There were 3 places near me owned by a neighbor. All 3 sold in one month recently.
It's sad when a vehicle costs more than a home.
People don't realize how bad inflation is. My first home cost $25,500. Of all the cars I've had, most cost under $2000. I only bought a new car once for my husband in 1975 ($2450 and sold it 10 years later for $2500) and once for myself in 1983 ($5757 but $8787 out the door). When it lasted 193,000+ miles I just started buying that make with 100k miles on it and driving it another almost 100k.
In high school in the early 1970s we bought full size candy bars in bulk for a nickle and sold them for a dime. What are they now? $2.xx each and they're smaller?
My first horse cost $6 to trim and $20 for shoes all the way around. Now it costs $20-$40 for a trim (depending on where you live -- probably even higher some places). And shoes are I don't $100+?
I could buy 3 wire 120 lb. bales of alfalfa for $4.25 in the field and $7.25 at the feed store. Now they're well over $20 each.
We haven't seen anything, yet. It is really taking off now. Shortages are here and worsening. Hyper-inflation is coming.
U have nothing against these ppl??
If people stopped borrowing themselves into oblivion for them the prices would drop. Actual much of the cost in a car is do to government regs.
You got that right! I always said to my husband I want to drive from point A to B, that's it no more. Don't want to live in the dang thing.
Last year after pruning my tomato plants I stuck all of the branches into the ground. I was able to pick tomatoes off of them. I dug some plants and potted them. I kept them in a south window all winter. They dropped their leaves in January. Today I have lots of new growth and blossoms!
I do the same and eat tomatoes and bell peppers all year long to go with my microgreens. Some of them are over 2 years old now so I took the suckers and planted them to keep me in tomatoes until the new plants produce.
Thank you for this!!!! We put a fence around the vegetable garden and a buck must've broke through where the fence meets the house. Went out to water the garden yesterday only to discover my brandywine tomato plants broke off, about halfway up the plant. Now I know what to do with the tops!! God bless you
Had to pause half way through to comment . I'm 70 this year, grew up the same way. Had an out-house and hand pump well until I was about 10 . Ah yes, stud walls , no insulation and a Pot Belly stove. You Sir brought back some wonderful memories , hunt and fish ALL DAY long ..They would put Mom&Dad in jail for all the things I was allowed to do.
Same here ain't that sad.
Same here. Loved every minute of it!
I helped in building a really nice house for an elderly couple back in the early 80's. The gentleman was a retired plumber and knew like a lot of us how to do most anything but because of age just wasn't able to do this house. They wanted a full basement and the back side was completely exposed. The lady of the house wanted an old timey kitchen, wood and cook stove for daily use and canning. She wanted a dirt floor! The county inspectors told them they could not do that. Shorten the story, the old timer paid cash for it all, told the inspectors and county what they could do and mom got her dirt floor. Keep preaching it Danny, we've got to start standing up for what is ours. Love you and Ms. Wanda!
We've gotten so many generations away from the concept of what you do today determines if you survive past the day after tomorrow.
Sir you are so right. I’m 67 and I remember all the prices back in the day.
Actually tearing up listening to you talk about how it was in those simple days. Truly saddens me. I didn’t growup on a farm but I did growup with a family of morals and sustainable living. Gardening with my papa was just the coolest thing. Learned alot from him. Life lessons.
Amen
I remember being in my granny’s garden when I was little. Everyone came over and shucked corn and shelled peas. Then we went to my aunts fruit orchard and everyone picked different fruit and then we made jellies.
Dave Ramsey changed our lives. He teaches from the heart.
I don't care for his arrogance.
It's not arrogance, it's confidence, and he darn well has cause to be confident.
@@ForeverEdsGirl You know it. You can tell by how he's constantly saying how much better he is than broke people.
@@mithall4198 clearly you dont listen to him. He was broke. Lost everything even almost his marriage. He speaks from experience.
Sorry this was meant for Terri
Thanks for this Danny! We are currently doing Dave Ramsey, my husband took out a lot of student loans for school at predatory rates (13% interest most of them!) and we made some poor choices when we were newly married. I work a few days a month but have always stayed home for the most part with my son. He’s now 3 and our parents are available now to watch him more, so we will both be picking up extra hours to get our debt paid off faster. Never again will I sign for something I cannot pay for! We also will be home schooling our son (and any future children), that’s practically a cuss word now a days! However, I know my son will learn gardening, preserving, animal husbandry, carpentry, finances and so many things that aren’t deemed important in school anymore!
My grandmothers raised me. Although we didn't have a farm, they did garden. I learned lots of lessons shelling peas and shucking corn. My grandparents would go to u picks, or buy fruit and veggies in bulk to preserve.
100%!!!! I'm so glad you told those "officials" to LEAVE!!!!
I can barely walk these days... bad knee... but I'm still gardening and canning. I want my own food in my canning jars. I know what's in them, how they were grown, etc. I'll do that until my body gives out and goes home. Period.
Look into grounding/earthing. All it really takes is a big nail in the ground, copper wire wound around it, an alligator clip, and a roll of metal tape to connect to the wire and taped on your bed. My ankle used to be twice it's size, now it is normal and pain-free!
@@dianayoung2107 grounding helps some things but if you don't have cartilage left in your knee which is the cause of most knee issues, grounding doesn't help.
Yep. Prices are going up on food and other items. $7 for a very small watermelon at the store the other day. I told my husband from now on we will just wait, grow our own, and have a watermelon feast in August and September. Another reason for growing your own food.
We need to remember to eat seasonally and can items for the off season.
Yep. Thinking of starting watermelon 🍉 seeds indoors this week.
@@Waiting_777 Lol...we don't have to remember because there won't be any fresh when it isn't the season. :-)
I absolutely love watching you and Wanda! This porch time was nothing but the truth and we all needed to hear this.
Thank you, Danny. we have 4 very OLD cars, but they are pd off. Working on paying off the property and house we bought in November last year, paying as much as we can each month. I hope to leave it to my children and grandchildren to grow and live on. I agree with you that we are targeting and they have made it next to IMPOSSIBLE to live without going into debt. Please keep teaching, preaching, and preparing us for the future.
Just love that phrase. Someone should have told me that 30 or 40 years ago. My daddy would say things simular when I was a kid but I didn't know what he was trying to tell me. Thank you for porch talk. 🙏
DANNY: "Pardon my language, but I'm fired up today..."
ME: BOOKMARK - BEST PORCH TIME EVER! (turns up "Country Boy Can Survive" by HWJ ) . What would Jesus Do? He'd be flipping tables and whipping the liars and cheats LONG ago...
Amen!
Best porch time yet! Preach the truth!
I would have lost it with people driving across my property as well. Also, according to modern building structures, you will never have the off grid cabin "complete" and "livable" so they should never be able to tax you on it.
Ahhhhh you actually get it. Not many catch that.
@@DeepSouthHomestead I'm surprised that works. Good job. You need a gate with a lock and fences to keep them out! They'd have to drive through a fence to get here.
Brother we are two pees in a pod . Country Boys will survive. Old School and self Sustained. 👍 👊
So that mist make me y'all's soster😏. I lived everything he discussed.
Just cannot beat your commonsense, logical approach. We are targeted however we get to choose how much we let the world influence us and our decision making. Give me a God fearing simple life over the stressful debt laden world anyday. We were not meant to be constantly chasing bigger and better but learning the peace and joy to be found in the simple things.
Well said.
I always think about the song from Tennessee Ernie Ford "I owe my soul to the company store".
I'm very busy creating new garden spaces and planting this year. I have a 70 foot long garden, 17 raised beds, a 50 foot cottage garden, (2) more 30x30 gardens, and a 30 x 40 garden along with a fruit orchard of 17 trees and a few are fruit bearing now. Also got some blackberries, raspberries, 120 strawberries, hazelnuts, and black walnuts that are producing. On about 1.5 acres.
Mr. Danny, I'm trying really hard to become debt free please pray for me. In the past year I've paid off 5 bills and now I'm on to the big high $ ones. These are the tough ones that I need prayer for. Thank you for the encouragement and the words of GOD. It helps a lot. GOD BLESS YOU.

@@heyeverybody5616 thank you
@@heidifrog7894 thank you
Karen, we're working on paying off our mortgage, and it's tough, because unless something miraculous happens, it will take several years. It's hard to stay motivated when something takes so long. So I recommend setting some milestone goals. For instance, first we set a goal of owing less than $100,000. We celebrated when we hit that goal. Now we're trying to get below $90,000. We'll celebrate when that happens. These small wins help us to feel like we're accomplishing something even when we still have so far to go.
Having mom home was “impossible” 40 yrs ago. I don’t wanna hear it. We did it anyway n I’m still doing it with my last 2, teens now.
It can be done. What are you willing to do without?
Took 20 yrs off of career to do the best job ever. Started in 1991 went back to career in 2016. We had everything on one paycheck. What ever I made was an extra. It can be done. Smaller house with three boys in one bedroom, square foot gardening in the yard, each family member had one 4x4 bed to take care of, canning done to have food for the winter, kiddos got one activity until high school. We did what we could. The kiddos have picked this up as well. We saved a lot in child care. No birthday parties, we took the money for family trip like camping instead. Roughing it as much as possible. Looked for the best discounts. Every family is different. Just change your thinking.
@@Waiting_777 I said I did it anyway lol
U didn’t rly read my comment
My mother had to go to work at an early age. Reason? My grandfather was ill and committed suicide in 1930. My grandmother went to work as Postmaster to support herself and three children, my mother being the oldest. My grandmother started showing signs of dementia, and my mother had to go to work to help her fix her mistakes. In 1942, my mother became FT postmaster. Things did not change when she married in 1951. My dad worked in the post-office to support his sister (who had been raised as a spoiled brat) and did NOTHING. Mother always said that "Daddy worked to support his Sister. My Mother worked to support herself and me." My Best~~ Mary@EDGEFIELD

Danny you are spot on! Preach it brother! You and Wanda have a blessed day!
DITTO that!!!
Good morning Danny and Wanda
I already know I am targeted. So, regardless, find your True ‘self’ and be the person God meant for you to be. I found that person when I was in my late teens, but I lost my way for forty years and wandered the wilderness. Two years ago, my ego died and I didn’t know who I was. Now, I am doing what I was meant to do. I had to learn from tons of mistakes along the way. I am going to be what I want to be, not what the ‘system’ wants me to be. I have gotten rid of all my loans except that ‘d’ house note, but I am working on that right now. You sound like my grandfather. Hey moved in, my grandma said they moved in with tarps for the walls and the roof and he had never built a house. My grandmother said he had no idea what he was doing, but you ought too see what a beautiful house he built. My aunt is 90 years old and still lives in that house. I told her that I would one day want to buy that house and I will truly be back home. I lived my first 3 years in that house...
Ken you sound like exactly where I am in my life! Wow. Our generation got snowed by garbage lies of the 80s & 90’s - the last 3 years I’ve finally been happy not having loans and debt with non-necessities. It was such a waste of 40 years always thinking I needed new things
Loved this chat, Danny... I have talked to so many people about the real issues, that being, local "Zoning" laws and the "protective covenants" on lands becoming more and more intrusive and denying folks RIGHTS to build their own house and live how they want... We here in Ohio have to go way out into the hills to find unzoned lands to build a homestead (which is probably true for most areas), but either way, people are not as free as they think they are. Gonna keep praying.... Amen again. Thanks for the chat.
Wise words Danny. I have a 15 year
Old cargo van I bought new. Have no plans on trading in. Cheaper to repair as needed than buying a new one. Years ago I emptied my 401k to buy my property to keep from having a mortgage. I may not have much money but I don’t owe payments on car or property.
Mark my words, corporations will then make things to last(just like the good ol’ days), and then rent them to us for decades; far overpaying what those item’s value is if we were to purchase them.
@@the1plantguy Not at all Michael. Corporations will make disposable items so you have to constantly buy new ones or upgrade. There is not a corporation out there willing to make products that last 10 years or more. Look at the Iphone. Most people want one and every year they come out with an uopgraded model. Hell even the chargers for the phones arent able to be used. Society and corporations stick it to the people.
@@alfa_romeo55yush82 they would if we demanded it
@@the1plantguy Ha. Ok.

Debt free is freedom, great message.
My husband and I used Dave Ramsey's Plan and paid off all our debt except the mortgage. I think it's great to teach kids gardening skills. I'm doing that with my 14 year old right now. My other two adult children are college students. I also homeschool.

Great porch time!! I could listen to you preach all day long. Never stop doing what you are doing. You touch a lot of lives.
Mr Danny, Great video Sir. I drove by a farmers house the other day and he had a pile of pallets(It had to be 100 of them) and I thought what on earth is he gonna do with all those pallets. Well this is the genus thing he is doing with them. He has fences to mend to keep the cattle in so he's gonna pull all the (free) pallets apart and mend his fences. Pure genus right there. One man's trash is another man's treasure right there.
My history is very similar to yours and I'm in my 60's also. As a kid my family was mostly self sufficient, we were farmers 700 acres of dairy, beef cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry, corn, wheat, soy beans & hay. I've lived all these extra costs added to everything due to regulations and laws imposed little by little over time. Roadblocks implemented by building permits and codes which added costs to getting started and then dealing with the banks to borrow money, more than you needed to spend to get your project under way, only to find out that you don't earn enough money to satisfy the bankers to secure the loan due to government regulations and the bank requirements. Over the years the new normal became a burden very hard to overcome and the younger people never knew about the freedom and liberty we had just a few decades earlier. I wholeheartedly agree with today's talk, you and Wanda do an awesome job getting information out to many other people. Godspeed.
A very meaningful a correct speech, never give up!
Love listening to you talk. You stand up for what is right and I have so much respect for you!
Amen Danny! I needed this message today! I hope you know the impact you are having on many lives! God bless you and Miss Wanda!
When I was 12 TV's were just coming in to households. Dad and Mom said, "If you want a TV you'll have to save the money for it. My babysitting money went towards that TV and my brothers earned money with odd jobs. When we got that TV we were so proud that we all worked together and it was ours. I think the biggest mistake is give your kids cell phones. We can't stop progress but training begins at home.
I could type 60 words a minute at one time. Now I have heard first hand that kids are now getting tunnel syndrome in their thumbs sue to cell phones. They are NOT living in creation but a cyber world. May as well be the "Matrix".
Rusty Nails ,
I have a friend that has three boys. Each boy has his own $400.00 video game player. Complete with 48" flat screens.
So , at least a $1,000.00 each. These boys are never disapplined ! Which results in them doing whatever they want. break windows , make holes in the walls , whatever.
They lived with me for awhile until I had to ask him to leave as his boys were destroying my house. They will soon be grown and God help us , they will be driving on public roads.
@@donaldmiller8629 To many parents want to be "friends" with their kids. It doesn't work. Parents need to be the educator in their home, teaching them to grow up to be responsible humans. Sorry for the pain.

I came back in and grabbed another cup of coffee ( I know...bad!) and sat down for a minute to read the comments of this video. Then, something made me look at my cup. I call this one my "Journey" cup because it says that on the cup. But, you know what else it says? It has Jeremiah 29:11 on it. "For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord. They are plans for good and not of diaster, to give you a future and a hope." I thought that was cool that I pulled this cup this morning to drink out of. You referred to this exact scripture in your video.
It's not the KJV I don't believe. But, it sure fits at the moment.
I have that on my mirror.
@@kookietherapy9398 I'm glad your comment made me come back here and see that again. That day, I needed to see, hear and feel that scripture. Same today.
"Targeted" is such a perfect term! Thing is, you can ignore the hype - it's all about free choice. To heck with "appearances". We wanted to retire early which meant getting out of debt. Had to make choices: new cars or old? Got rid of the new and fancy, got ones older and basic. Our vehicles are 11 and 14 years old, and husband keeps them well maintained. Got rid of our weekend getaway at a local lake, saved thousands. Vacations? Nah, haven't taken one in 10 years - watching the vegetable garden bloom while steaks are grilling is better than snorkeling in the Bahamas anyway ;-) We chose that and retired at 62 and 58, respectively, with no debt. For the last couple of years we've been looking for more rural, more land, more South than Indiana. There's just nothing out there unless you're wealthy. We're kind of past the build your own now, and we renovated a dozen homes over the years so we know the work. Sure do envy your set-up and can agree 1000% on spineless sheep and entitled "officials". Love your porch time talks!
Herbs are definitely for the healing of the nation
Danny, I love your porch time! Your perspective is so much like mine It is truly the truth, Gods word. I feel for my grandkids. All I can do is teach them, as much as I know. About the good book, life, and the how to's. Take care my friend. Hello to Miss Wanda, as well.
Danny you make me so proud. I am proud because we (you & I ) are so like minded that we could be cut from the same mold. When I comes to debt I have not had a payment for anything in over 40 years and in a few months I will be 70. I have had so many people look at me like I had to heads for the way I live and the way I think. So G_d bless you just keep doing what your doing as you are not alone.
I gave up processed foods and making my own sourdough bread. Feeling better and I'm loosing weight.
Amen! Preach on. I love the quotes from the Bible you teach.
There are things going on today that will have ramifications for years if not decades to come. My grandchildren will have a very hard time. Teach them the old ways so they can live a better life. May God Bless you and your family
Thank you for keeping it so REAL !!
Morning Y’all , just when I think you can’t outdo the last Porch Time, you go and outdo yourself ! I’am listening and I’am doing ! We made a deal I said “ you keep teaching & I’ll keep learning “ ! Seems we both are keeping our deal ! Very Good, Thanks Danny !
Amen! Well said!
PREACH!!! Yessssssssss! All. Of. This! 🙌👏🙏❤️ Best porch time talk! I have shared this with quite a few people and *every* single person has subbed! Why? Because you're speaking truth and God's word! God bless you! 🙏❤️🙏
This is the best video of the century! These are the lessons needed today(and yesterday) Thank you!
I wish there were more men like you! Many blessings
God bless you Danny. I'd have given a pretty to be a bird on a limb the day those guys tried to cross your dam. I love it when your passion comes out. Again, God bless you guys and thanks for the lift.
Hello Danny and Wanda, thank you for that massage it is so real. Me and my sister have planted a couple of gardens. Thank you again for all your true messages. May God keep Blessing you both.
Boy, can I relate... This man tells it like it is. I'm 60. And I thank God everyday that I'm not a young man. I remember much of what Danny speaks of. As a little boy. As I see it, this country is over. Guys like Danny are a vanishing breed. I have so much respect for you Mr Danny. I'm holding the line out here to. My house is paid for. Wasn't easy. Kept my homeowners insurance going. 34 yrs with State Farm, never a claim. Premiums kept going up up up. I tried Farmers, same thing . So now I'm uninsured. Told them to take a hike. Spending that money on tree removal and certain key upgrades. My state farm agent goes, "You can't do that" I said " the hell I cant"..
I'm one of the few who bought a house for $300,000 and sold it for 1 million dollars in California. I'm also one of the few who moved to 9 acres of farmland in Tennessee and retired. I also got the property taxes frozen with no buildings on it and now live in a custom house with a full basement and a 24' ft x 84' ft garage and barn completely debt free. I bought pre-engineered steel structures that are completely non- combustable as an owner--builder that is off the grid. It's the only way to beat the system that I know of and it took 12 years of planning to accomplish. I also went from a 38% tax bracket to a 12% tax bracket where the cost of living is 40% less just to live a simple life in the country.
Amen brother Danny! I love watching your porch time. I always look forward to hearing about our Savior Jesus Christ wish it was a every day video lol. May God bless you and your family and keep you safe Amen 💯❤️🙏
I completely agree. I remember the stories of the Great Depression that my family lived through. I'm planting like there's no tomorrow, because 'tomorrow' is going to look like nothing that the younger generation has ever seen. Many will be bewildered, and in a wilderness, of sorts. I'm no spring chicken, but I'm planting and gardening as much every day that my little bitty body can manage. I'm worn out, at the end of the day, after starting as soon as the sun rises, taking a break in the heat of the day, then back at it in the evening. I sometimes wish I had the strength of a man, to move things around and do things faster, but I know it will eventually get done. Thank you for your encouraging words. May the Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
I have a friend here in Indiana that have a construction company. They always by the old Menards rental trucks. They have one that's over 10 years old. My daddy used to say keep the oil changed it'll last forever hey
Good morning Danny and Wanda. Your videos are informative and ❤. Blessings for you both.
Popular culture made me focus on all the things I was missing out on by growin up in the south. As I get older, I appreciate the culture and geography that I was lucky enough to be born into. I really appreciate the anti-establishment, self reliant ways of my family.
~~~ Danny my friend thank you for all the help you give us in your videos..
Good morning Brother & Sister!
Danny keep telling it like it is because we who follow your channel appreciate you speaking the truth. Praying more people will have ears to hear.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Danny. My husband and I are DR followers as well. While we live in a subdivision, we owe NO one for anything (including our home). We have contemplated moving out to a piece of property, but the cost of housing (whether buying an established home or having one built) is outrageous. So, we are staying where we are, and doing EVERYTHING that we can for ourselves. Until the time is right (I know God will show me when that is) to make our move. I hope you and Wanda stay safe. ~ Stephanie
Amen Mr. DANNY, BEST porch time ever! Loved it.
Tell us how you really feel, Danny! Lol. I grew up wearing feed sack dresses, no running water in a dogtrot house with a wood heater and an outhouse. My parents lived like no one else so they could live like no one else. And they did. So have I.
Having a good system in your garden makes a world of difference, we have focused hard on that this year too. Nice work!
You and Wanda have a lovely team work going on there 👏👍😀😊
Good morning Danny !
Thank you for your time.
You nailed it Danny. I live in California and we are trapped. We could sell our home for a profit but our families live locally. My wife does not want to leave the state. With people fleeing California, the prices in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, etc have skyrocketed.
Same boat here! I transformed our small 7200 sqft property into a kind of homestead. Raise chickens for eggs and meat, turned my front yard into a garden with fruit trees, and use the waste from animals as fertilizer. The city didnt like my chickens and I am trying to work with them to allow people in residential zoning to raise “reasonable” livestock on their property provided they use management practices that eliminate odors and noise. The city is working on that now. The sad thing is that our city was a very heavily agricultural city with dairies and farms. We have gotten so far away from that here and they don’t allow people more than three chickens on their property and they have to get prior approval.
Hello from east Ky.
I was led to get back to gardening last year. It was very fruitful. A lady at church reminded me of the 7 years of feast that was followed by seven years of famine in the days of Joseph in the Bible. Great advice!
Was watching on the tube and had to get on here just to say ! Brother's this show gave me chills how correct you are, we're being lead like sheep.
Yes buy your land and build your Home yourself
Yes we can break the rules of Bill Gates buying up all this farmlands, and nothing left for your children, Now is the time!
Great sermon y'''''all 🙏🏼🇺🇸
It was just amazing to see how after being all fired up at the ways of man, you mentioned the word of the Lord, and the joy and peace just replaced all that. Beautiful to see.
This is the best porch time ever.
Your words are as necessary as water to me. Thank you. Love you all. God bless you both.
Thank you. I live outside the US but I see it coming, the control, the intrusion into everybody's life. Ordinary- people are going to have a hard time. The very rich appear to all be sociopathic. Their new message is 'You will own nothing and you will be happy ". They're talking about a renting/shared economy, pushing the idea, but who is going to own all the stuff we rent/share?
You remind me of my Dad they came out to perk the land in 86 and told him that it wouldn't work my Dad said I am going to build a house right here... you do what you got to .. We dug those footers with a tiller and a shovel. I am proud to say my Dad lives in that house we built to this day. I bought land right beside him. Love your videos.
