    I'm someone that on the surface, and in truth, have nothing in common with your family. Single, atheist, West Coast, and worked very hard to not have children. I know I would be an awful parent and don't particularly want to hurt a child due to my own deficiencies. We probably have different political beliefs and opinions that are on opposite ends of any particular spectrum. That said, I have greatly enjoyed your video's and can see the trust and respect each of you has for the other. You both put the work in to your family and the results are plain to see. You are raising respectful, hard working and compassionate children. They are healthy and well behaved. I'm just really impressed. Thank you for sharing your life with us strangers. That takes courage.

      I love that you commented this way. Respect goes so far. Thank you for being an example of the fact that we don’t have to be exactly the same or believe the same things to care for one another and be kind!!

      @horticultureandhomes 3 года назад +13

      If you take the time to not be on opposite ends, you may find that Christians who practice their faith instead of saying and not doing, are very much like this family. It's a commonality amongst this particular group.

      @@teedub1990 no I didn't. Great problems lie with the intolerant raging left who cancels, crushes, and ignores the truth. The main entity who cancels God, Christians, and Jews. An entity who refuses to call a spade a spade and here you attempt to silence someone who just spoke their mind. You made my point. If you see truth as insulting, so be it. Standing by and supporting wrong being right and right being wrong. It's scripture and we are living it.

      @@horticultureandhomes Dude, you really need to brush up on your reading comprehension. You are building a straw man only to tear it down. You are attributing words and attitudes to me that I never said and have a major case of projection going on. Three rivers doesn't deserve this BS so pick a fight somewhere else. I'm ending this conversation.

    That was fun. Thank you Adam . I think Adam is coming to realize that what you do in this media is a very real ministry, you are definitely called to it and I admire Adam for his dedication to leading the family church time in the way that he does. One thing I was told very early on starting to serve in church ministry that has really benefited me is that “God does not call the prepared, he prepares the called”. Thank you both for the work you do.

    I didn't discover my RUclips "family" until 2021 and you and they have saved my sanity during Covid. My husband and I are, respectively, 76 & 75 yrs old, and are without family close by. This "sheltering in place" and staying away from most people hasn't been easy on me, especially. I'm a people person, but have not seen many others in 2 yrs, so I really appreciate you, Jessica and Adam! You and others that share like values with me are a blessing. Thanks to both of you...

      Hi Adam & Jessica , I think that both of you have great views on Home Church and teaching your children.I myself am 71 and birthed 14 Children .7 boys and 7girls .I only wish that raising my children were as easy as you raising yours. My husband worked hard to provide for his family , but fell short in the spending time with them department. My boys got left out in the cold when it came to spending time with him. And he and I would spend time in God's word . But eventually his desire to continue changed. He became interested in his daughters in a very unhealthy way. That put a huge wedge between he and I. We divorced after almost 25 years .I married him when I was 18 and he was almost 18 years my Senior. When we married he had 8 children . The oldest of those being just 4 years younger than myself. I met him when I was 12 years old. He was then married to a wonderful Christian woman. She passed after 4 years of them being married. Anyway I admire you and your husband and your children. I'm not bitter because of my past . But am thankful for each day that the Lord stands by my side and guides me through them. God Bless you and your family.

    I'm catching up on your videos. This was awesome. If i could give a little advice to Adam 😊
    Husband was a truck driver and construction brick layer. Had spine surgery May 2022. It went very bad. CFS, hematoma and 5 days after ICU he threw a major clot to the lung. Had a total of 10 clots in his legs and back. Very complicated and he almost died. Was transported to a level 1 hospital for 7 weeks. He's still in PT learning to walk again. Many setbacks but by the Grace of God he is slowly improving.
    We're in our early 60s.
    Take care of yourself. Listen to your body and keep doing what you're doing 😊
    We raised 4 kids. I was the stay at home mom, hubby was the breadwinner working 2 jobs. We're Appalachian. Have a garden and a few chickens and I'm praying my husband can throw out the waking devices and once again work and do what he enjoys: gardening and teaching the 8 grandchildren everything he knows.
    He is an independent contractor and loves his job. 🙏

    I really enjoyed this video. One thing I'd like to mention in regards to your conversation about your miscarriages. I have experienced 2 miscarriages myself, and yes, they are extremely traumatic. But I was so focused on how it affected me and what I needed to heal, that I didn't realize that my husband was also grieving our loss. No one was helping him heal and grieve, and that hit me hard. So while I appreciate Adam helping you get through that time, it's also worth mentioning that fathers are also to be considered 😊

    • @threerivershomestead

    i think its also important to say on topic of miscarriage is for wives to remember that husbands feel the loss to and many men as you can see in Adam's sadness on the topic need to have understanding also as women are not in this alone...i have also had a miscarriage after 3 kids followed by a medically necessary Hysterectomy and it was devastating for some time on me and i had to take a step back and see that my husband was also suffering along with me and needed my comfort...its a hard situation to be in but once your aware of each others feelings you can work together as a team to move on and find a way out of the grief.

    My first video of yours! A couple of other You Tubers mentioned you and here I am to get to know ya'll and here you are with a great Q&A for me! Thanks! I think I'll enjoy your channel!

    I think Adam should do more videos with you so he can continue to come out of his shell 😄 I love seeing couples together! You guys did an awesome job. 👏🏻
    Will you ever consider doing a q&a with the older children on an individual level (since they’ll be able to decide whether or not they’re okay with being on camera)

    Don’t say, you don’t work. You, Mom, work all day! You have a full-time job! 😁

      Yes! I have two that I stay home with, and my two, plus house duties, are work. I can only imagine 7.
