    4 years ago, Jessica Sowards changed my life in so many more ways than just gardening. Anything she has to say, I will always be here to listen

      Same! Except I’ve been watching her longer. I love how humble and kind she is, and understands not everyone had the funds to build everything all at once.

    Jess, this has been so powerful in so many ways. I have been following your channel for years and I am so happy this came up on my feed. What stuck with me most is “Something has to die for us to live”. Thank you to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the ultimate sacrifice. May we reminded of HIM each day on our farms and homesteads through the all the good and the tough things that are still Good! Amen 🩷✝️

    This broadcast is so incredible. How amazing that a platform is provided where people like Jess and Jeremiah can stand and share their heart and experience without being censored in their lifestyle and beliefs. They share truth with honor and positivity. Thank you.

    You inspire me so much, I sat and watched your show and as I'm telling you this I'm crying because it made me cry and made me feel so good. I'm not the smartest person in the world and no I did not graduate from high school either. Got pregnant, and I'm 60 years old now. I've been through a whole lot and been hurt divorced and remarried now for 18 years. I have high anxiety extreme but I love my gardening and I love everything you say I'm still trying to figure out some of the words you're saying and understand the meanings of them but this is fantastic. You are such a blessing to me thank you so much thank you. I don't talk much on it any of your stuff and don't say very much hardly ever. But for some reason I just want to reach out until you thank you

    Oh Jess and Myaha thank you for all you do. I’ve been a fan since day one of Roots and Refuge. You gave me the confidence to garden in my backyard which over the years became a farm with 30 tomato plants 15 pepper plant, 7 squash, pickles,radishes etc etc etc. I hope to see a’ll in person one day.

  • @galeharris6696
    @galeharris6696 7 месяцев назад +7

    Thank you, Jess and Miah. That was really awe-inspiring, and it was what I needed to break my deadlock this spring here in Vermont. I have been very uninspired to get out, clean up my property after 2 major floods and GET MY GARDEN going! But today, after watching this, I dug the first row to plant lettuce and arugula, and then walked around and assessed the refuse piles, and stray junk that must be picked up and disposed of, and did some work there. The sun came out for a while, though I know we will get more rain.I felt like I had broken through an invisible barrier in my soul. You made me cry, because I miss my land and garden, and I had taken it away from myself in my head. Today, I felt hope again. I bless you always!💕🌻

    Dearest Jessica I have been following for I really don't know how long...a few years now...since Benjamin was itty bitty...and though health issues have plagued me for years, your videos have constantly inspired and ministered to me. This video has been another soul changing, hope filling, uplifting, healing touch from this great ministry you and Jeremiah have. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and may I one day be healthy enough to get the honor of thanking you in person. Love in Jesus!!!

    I just love seeing all your growth and success and also want to.say thank you for all the knowledge and of all the " MASSIVE" amounts of inspiration you give me. I can turn on your video and go from unmotivated to " I'm gonna go out to the garden and do this and that".
    I'm a second year gardener and already see growth because of you. Thank you! Thank you , Thank you! ❤ love your sis in christ

    Thank you Jess for posting this now... when you were talking about death.. I bawled... I was just honored to be with my mom earlier this year. I sent the video and Tagged my nephew who is doing the service so he can include it. I will be coming to ID and see you just a day or 2 after her service. So I will see you just after that. I am so excited to finally meet you.

    Hi jess, in my life I've lost my parents, four brothers, many family members and many pets.
    The way I feel about their losses is "to be grateful for the time that I got to spend with that being."
    I find it is easier to deal with death this way.

    I also wanted to say that no one in our area , San Antonio. So I wanted to do a community garden and no one in that area would volunteer or help I kept posting on Facebook that I wanted to do this. So finally I open up the front east way area in front of my home to a big huge garden many vegetables greens roots vegetables lots of gardening for anyone to come up and be able to get some vegetables that they may need for their dinner. So that's what I've done people stop and look which I think is awesome. So then in my yard I have many gardens lots of them. I wish I could show you pictures. And yes I have a pig and chickens You have a wonderful day and you need to rest probably just as I do I'm not saying that to be mean I'm saying that you need to take a break every now and then.
