Friends, the responses to this video have been overwhelming. 500 + comments already within 24 hours of posting, the vast majority positive. There's no way I can respond to all of them. You all have been and continue to be a great encouragement to my family and me. We treasure the friendships we have made through this outlet. Thank you!
Different isn’t bad, it’s just different. Keep your faith, God has your back! Good luck, may God bless you and your wonderful family. I hope you make content again. We’ll see you when we see you.
Wes & Family I wish you all joy & happiness in your calling. As a practising Agnostic some people might seem that strange but that's their problem. Many thanks for all the enjoyment you have provided in all your videos & I'll watch all future videos. A great Irish comedian called Dave Allen always finished his TV show with the words *"May your God go with you"*
Will be praying for you and your family as you answer this calling, thank you for sharing your homestead life with all of us and teaching me some great things that I can use for my family. I have been watching since I was in high school (2018) and you have greatly encouraged my love for beekeeping, homesteading etc and it is always a blessing to see families keep on gods will and not ignore what they are called to do. God bless and good luck!
Amen! Dennis, right you are he has a following right here on this channel. Who is going to educate Wes? I have an idea he would do well as a teacher. With this channel, Wes can have folks from all over the world come to him. I am 87 years old, and he has shown me what he does with his son. You do not tell us what is in the bible, you show us. You simply show us LOVE and that is what the book teaches folks. He does in a way that appears to suit most folks. You will find next to no words against Wes. The idea of giving up this channel is dumb.
@@chetthejet3896 chet, you're so right about Wes but the young fellow is trying to find himself. I'm 77, I see it just as you do. There has been so many changes in my life since I was in his shoes. Now it's his time for the adventurous future that awaits him. I wish him good journey.
I share your concern that he may have overlooked God's incredible gift of the supernatural growth this online channel through which he could influence thousands for Christ's sake in these end times. He sees the channel as a diversion from God's call when it could be that the desire to pay for seminary led him to his real calling. God will tell him when or if it's time to come home to finish the work he started.
God speed on your new adventures, what ever happens with this channel, I’ll support your decisions. I’ve really enjoyed your videos and it helped me through rough times and will continue to do so as long as the videos are available. Wish you all the luck in the future.
I really love your channel and admire your commitment to God. I hope you do keep posting occasionally. Good luck with your transition to vocational ministries. May God bless you and your family in all future endeavors. Thank You Wes!! 👍
From a personal view, I really hate to see your channel end but from a fellow believers view, I am extremely glad to see you following your calling. I have always loved to watch you doing your daily chores and wish you nothing but the best in what lies ahead for you. Thank you so much.
Wes, my family and I have loved watching with you. My 5 year old son always asks to watch “the farmer show”, and has learned so much from you. As Christians, my wife and I have loved to have your videos to turn to for wholesome content for our boys. God speed in your seminary journey, and please know that God has already begun to use you to reach people for Him through what you have built in this channel and being outspoken in your faith. It’s touched us and so many others that might not be touched otherwise. Thank you.
Wes - While you will be missed, following God's calling to The Great Commission is the greatest work you can ever do. I thank you for sharing all that you have. You're milling videos helped me convince my buddy he needed one to build projects on his property here in Washington. God bless you and your family.
Your news is so awesome ! Prayers for the new season of your life. Hope fall line ridge will bring some teachings from the Bible. The truth and word needs to be heard by many. And faith, hope, love and strength from the word we all need as we live in the last days. God bless you Wes and your family ! Hope to hear from you from time to time !
Prayers for God to continue to bless you as you are answering His calling ! Hallelujah thine the glory . My husband and I have enjoyed your channel for quite a while.
no wonder I was not getting any feed from your channel in the last little while and only through active search did I found this out. Change are just changes and you guys are so young and would be alright. All the best to you and your family.
I truly will miss you and your family! You have been a blessing to me these years. May our God continue to bless you and your family! It has be a joy to watch your son to grow so much🙏🏼🙏🏼😢😢😢
I am so proud of you to make that decision. God will richly bless you and your family. Stay true to your calling, I will miss watching your videos, but there are others to watch. You are a good man!
I came to your channel several months ago looking for ideas on building something, a shed, a coop, I don’t recall. I subscribed because I found I just enjoyed watching you work, and hearing talk about it. You never seemed reluctant to tackle any project. You encouraged me to tackle a few of my own. Thank you for pursuing the calling God has given you. I will pray for you and your family to know the joy he intends for you there.
Your channel will be sadly missed, I looked forward to each and every episode you put out weekly The vast improvements you and your family has done to the property you are on will only now benefit someone else that may not appreciate your back breaking efforts which for me coming off the land is extremely sad I wish you and all your family all the best in your future plans and would love to see you one day get back to working the land because that is also your calling teaching people how to live and raise a family and livestock is a skill not many people are truly successful with
I just came across your channel on Nov 5th, 2024. I watched three episodes including this one. I hope everything is working out as planned for you & your family! God Bless you & your family!
I am so happy and Proud of you for the decision you have made for yourself and your family. I am not a subscriber but have been watching your channel the last two years. Me and my family will miss the videos, but, you are doing what God has called you to do. Me and wife will be praying for you and your family. God Bless
Wes, no need to apologize. You have single handedly been an inspiration to me and what I've become, and can say you've guided me. From learning to build a counter top from re-purposed fencing to sawmilling. You were the first I started to follow during the pandemic and opened my eyes to the love of so many new endeavors that have significantly changed my life for the better. It's amazing to think how something like a, how to, video ignites a passion in another such as sawmilling or woodworking and can change a person's life. You gave a morning devotional on a day I needed it the most. A day that was a make it or break it for me on the mill. I watched it at 0500 before firing up the machines and I put that day in God's hands and I made it! You help so many and will miss your videos. I'm local and we have many mutual friends and one day we will meet and I'll share with you in person what you've done for me. Godspeed
I applaud you in your willingness to do what God has called you to do. You have been a joy to watch. You are a real person. You always presented yourself as who you are. Thanks for allowing us to follow you.
Hello This is the first comment I’ve ever made on a channel My name is Jeff I’m a builder from central ohio Love your channel , my thoughts are that , you will never in 3 lifetimes touch as many people as you are now , so living your life for Christ , your already there , just my thoughts , Thank your for sharing your life
I started watching for the sawmill tips when I bought mine. I continued to watch because of your frankness and easy going attitude towards everyday occurrences. Will be sad to not see future videos, and sadder to see your child raised away from the freedom of a farm. I also honor and praise your calling and wish you great success in all your endeavors. May your new year be prosperous, productive, healthy and happy.
Wes, this breaks my heart! You’re already a pastor, people look to you to see how to live a moral, hardworking and loving way of life, closer to the land that is God’s creation. We eagerly await each new upload. You’re already leading a flock closer to the Lord, you point the way, you are a light in a world of darkness and Immorality. The biblical heroes tilled the land to leave to their children, you inspired me to read scripture and escape my doomed life in the city but to take up carpentry as was the job that Jesus labored to aid his family and community. You’re gonna be missed, I pray that you find what you hope to in your new calling. God bless.
Your channel quickly became my most favorite discovery of 2023. I live roughly 30 minutes away from your general location and throughly enjoyed living through your videos. Please know that everything you have done on this channel has touched, inspired, and helped many people. God works in many ways and you may be surprised how many were touched through your videos! Thank you and good luck to you and your upcoming adventures.
I am a graduate of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 1994. You are truly an inspiration. God's Grace is truly evident in your life. In this time of cultural tumult, we need faithful men of God to charge forward with the Gospel message. Jay Bud
Will be praying for you and your family as you answer this calling, thank you for sharing your homestead life with all of us and teaching me some great things that I can use for my family. I have been watching since I was in high school (2018) and you have greatly encouraged my love for beekeeping, homesteading etc and it is always a blessing to see families keep on gods will and not ignore what they are called to do. God bless and good luck!
God bless you for your work on the channel and your further work to come in the church. My wife and I have loved watching your channel as a way to dream about our own future while we live in the city and save up for something like what you have in your family. The grass is always greener as they say! Would love to see updates on you and your family once in a while even without the homestead.
As a subscriber I will miss your videos very much. I am happy for you. Answering Gods calling is never a mistake. I'm sure God will bless you and your family. The world needs the truth preached now more than ever. Thanks for sharing your life with us and God Bless!
Oh mercy! We have really enjoyed your videos and watching you and your family, I believe we have watched every one. We especially enjoy watching your little sidekick grow. He is absolutely adorable! We wish you all the best in your new endeavors, but know that you and your family will be sorely missed. This will be a very difficult transition for y'all, many prayers!
Brother, thank you. When I found your channel, I knew there was something different about you. Thank you, my brother in Christ, for following the call. I will miss your videos, but we will be praying for you. God bless you and he will use you to build His kingdom. Thank you for your example. Thank you for your encouragement. I look forward to seeing you in the kingdom and thanking you in person.✝
Thank you for allowing us to come with you and your family on this journey. I will miss your videos and if you ever decide to come back and spread the word of the Lord while you do some homesteading I for one would certainly be happy to hear it.
Wow. Yes a big move for sure. I'm going to miss your videos. I do understand your motivation. God bless you and your family. Our prayers are with you all !
Wes and family. My second comment after reading all other comments. Look at what you have already done in the service or our Lord. You have ministered to 340,000 folks. We all seem to feel the same way. God blessings to all who commented and especially to you. Watching old video now. With small tears in eyes. Love you and God Bless.
Good morning Young man, Wes. I am sadden to see you and your family on the homestead coming to an end; but happy to hear you are moving toward your main calling. As a minister of serving others I can and will assure you in the best way I can, you will gain exponential as a servant of Jesus Christ. I started a RUclips channel back in August of 2023, knowing that in November 2023 I would no longer be a Pastor after 41 years. I knew I would need still need to use my love of Jesus in another way. Therefore I started the RUclips channel as a result of watching you with your kindness and sincere love of Jesus, knowing my time as a minister of a Baptist Church was coming to an end. I have been able to channel my love of Jesus in another way; When you gave your testimony in the door of the chicken house, I felt the Holy Spirit saying "see God is sending others out to fill in the void". Again Thank you for your Service for the heavenly Kingdom. On April the 6th I will be 80 years old it has been a blessing to work for the Father the Son and Holy Ghost. Sincerely With Prays for your Journey Lenville Maxwell.
Wes, loved following along, you owe us nothing as viewers, you brought us into your life and now your life has a new plan, all the best to you and your family, you need to do whats best for Wes. I watch the work that needs to be done on that kind of acreage and farmland, it`s not for everybody. Maybe ministry is, like you say look at all the people you could help, wish you well in your endeavor my friend, all the best.
I am now old and retired. During my working lifetime, there have been multiple people that I have worked with or managed that have had a dream to do something different. I have always encouraged those people to follow their dream, even when their leaving was going to be a hardship for me. I applaude you for following your calling. I have enjoyed your videos and watching you and your family in your lives. Thank you and Good Luck.
I have enjoyed watching you and family stay ordinary folks. Really get a kick out of your boy helping you. Hope you get the house finished before you have to go. Good luck and God bless.
All praise and glory be to God.. thank you for all you've done and i Iook forward to what God has planned for you next. I'll be praying for you and your family. Numbers 6:24-26
Think of the life of those kids that just got changed. They went from frolicking around acres of private land playing w mom n dad n animals. Huge real life lessons, then they move to a smaller apartment. Damn my heart hurts for those kids cuz I didn’t opposites went from a populated area moved to a farm/country house and the joy the land brings to my daughter is all n everything I’ll ever need in life. It’s the best.
As much as our family will miss your videos and content, I so respect your decision. I think it is so admirable to leave this behind and seek a higher calling. All the best wishes and blessings to you and you're family. I hope you find a way to continue to share bits and pieces with us. 🩷🩷
I started following you when I was living in Israel dreaming of moving to the USA and running my own homestead. For the past year and a half I have been running my homestead with my family in Western PA. A big part of it is inspired by you. I will deeply miss your videos and I'm feeling very sorry that watching them will not be part of my daily routine. I wish you and your wonderful family all the best and if you will be able to upload videos once in a while when you come back to the farm, it would be great.
I have watched you for some time and always enjoyed watching and following you on your farm. I can tell you’re a nice person, and you always been polite and respectful to other people. I wish you and your family all the best and will continue to watch you in the future. God bless you and your family.
Surprise! I've watched them all. Always remembered your seminary history and wondered what was to come of that. You do you, Thanks for sharing your family with us. Happy for you. Good luck going forward in 2024😊🎉
Started watching your channel couple years ago and really have enjoyed your videos. Enjoyed watching you interact with your son and your patients. I was sure you were a Christian because your spirit bared witness with mine. I understand the call that is on your life because I answered that call in 1989 and packed up my family and moved from TN to Graceville, FL. To attend FL Baptist Theological College. Now I have retired and moved back to Graceville to enjoy life. So I will be lifting you and your family up in prayer. I know God will guide you and direct your path. God bless you my friend.
Wes, I have watched every episode you have made. There are not many channels I watch, so it’s sad that I wount be able to watch in the future. I hope to see some videos once in a while. Bless you and your family. I have learned a lot about milling from you. It has made my milling work better. So thank you. Best of luck
God bless you brother, I admire.your adherence to your call. Thank you for letting us know and Ill be praying for you and your family through these big changes!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOU SHARING YOUR TESTIMONY OF YOUR "FAITHFULNESS" TO THE CALLING OF GOD´S WILL IN YOUR LIFE. As a 14 year old boy, I gave my life to be used of God as a preacher or what-ever He wanted of me. After finishing HS I married, went to Bible College, and in the 2nd year 1972 I felt impressed of God to go to the mission field. My wife, was willing also to serve, our 4 boys grew up on the field, and we just completed 50 years of service church planting, children´s ministry, translation etc. We came home on furlough this year which has been more medical since I got covid-19 there, and ended up liver diseased. Our plans were and are to go back health permitting this year. This has become longer than I anticipated, but just wanted to let you know that God is faithful, and I have loved that quoted for many, many years. "...only what´s done for Christ will last." May God give YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GRACE AND MERCY TO BE FAITHFUL!!! I have really enjoyed watching your videos for several years. God Bless, Charles
May God's Blessing continue to come for you and your wonderful family. Im sorry the channel will be greatly missed but I understand and will be praying for y'all. And so a new adventure begins!!
thank you for all tour time and effort in helping us understand what it takes to become independent of the government. God bless you and your family, and the lord is with you as you go into your new adventure with your family. Take care and we will always welcome you back to the channel.
@falllineridge - It has been an absolute pleasure watching your progress i homesteading. And, what a joy watching your family grow! I am thrilled to hear about your pursuit of a ministry vocation. Prayers for this move and your impact on those the Lord puts in your path. Blessings brother!
While I will miss your videos, your ministry is so much more important and needed right now. I hope you will keep us posted, at least occasionally, on your mission. May almighty God bless you.
Wes, all I can say is, you need to do what God is leading you and your family to do. I along with so many others have truly loved your videos and your family. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it. May God be with you and your family on your new adventure and be at peace with your decision. God Bless.
Ah Wes man you give yourself too little credit, it has been fun living vicariously through you but there's lot of channels like yours. You walk and talk us through your world like none of the others can and that's why we watch your videos. RUclips is a beast of algorithms and personalities but you stand out above them just by being you. Thanks for all your hard work and letting us tag along for so many things. Life is short and others need you now, god speed Wes and good luck on the next adventure!
Thank you for all your videos. I have enjoyed watching them. I understand, you have a calling. That is a powerful thing. I wish you and your family the best of luck with your future. Thank you again for the hours and hours of entertainment, education, and laughs.
I will certainly miss your videos and especially the interaction with the little guy. Good luck to you. I feel certain you will make the world a better place.
I stumbles across your channel little over a year ago now, I have truly enjoyed them all. God bless you and your family in your new adventures. I will truly miss your videos.
You have become affectionately known as Honey guy in our house. Our 3 year olds favorite channel, he has been so inspired by your work and your being a man of God. God will use your experiences you have had to serve the church you lead in the future, all things work together for His goodness. God Bless your journey "Honey guy" 😊.
Thank you for your videos. I have not been with you for the entire 6 years, but I have looked forward to every time you release a new one since I found your channel. Thank you for sharing your life with us and allowing me to be one of the city folks who lived vicariously through your lens. I pray blessings for your family, and success in your ministry. I also pray for your encouragement as you step out in faith to follow your calling. May God speak clearly about His path for you and your family.
Thank you so much for the time you gave us. It was such a pleasure watching you and your family on your property. So glad you have chosen to put your time into Christ and do what you can to further His kingdom. Good luck and God Bless ❤
I sure have enjoyed your videos over the years watching you working your land and all the other things you have shared with us. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your family also it was always enjoyable to see you and your little boy do things together Good luck with spreading the gospel and God Bless
To God be all the glory! You my friend have used your platform to be a fisher of men ( and women ). Your channel was the first one I subscribed to as I began my saw milling journey. You and your videos were something that I could relate to and I think thats why so many others subscribed. Funny story, I am a home builder by trade and when I first subscribed and started watching your videos, my wife would tell me to send you one of our home building shirts for advertising because you wore an old torn T-shirt in a lot of your videos then. She would always ask if I was watching the " ripped shirt" guys videos again. 😆 I want to thank you mostly though for being a man of God first and being obedient in your walk. You are a true example of what we as men are called to do for our family, our community and for each other and I look forward to see how God works in your life moving forward! I would say best of luck, but you don't need luck if your serving the kingdom of God! Brady James
I have watched your videos for a very long time and can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed them so very much. I have learned a lot from you and have admired your ability to figure out things. You’re relationship with your son has touched my heart in a very personal way because my wife and I lost our Son Nicholas at the age of four and a half years. So to have watched your enter actions with your family has brought me such joy and comfort. The best of luck to you and your family on your next adventure and may God richly you in your service to him. You all will be sorely missed and fondly remembered in our hearts .
Wishing you all the best and what the good lord has in store for you. God Bless in all your future endeavors. Take care of that little guy too, he’s been a hoot.❤
I'm writing again now that I've seen the end of your video and read the poem. Beautiful words, eternally meaningful. Again, I've prayed for you and your family that He will help you through trials and storms and put a hedge of protection around you all. More specifically, I prayed for your son (and all other kids who may come) that they too, would love God and serve Him their lives long.
Never ever apologize for following Jesus Christ. Thank you for all your efforts in producing content around homesteading! Can’t wait to see where the Lord leads you.
Wes, I don't believe as you do, but I respect the fact that you are following your calling. Thanks for all the great content of the years and good luck to you and your family!
Not knowing much about and what your values are, it does not suprise me at all that serving Christ is your calling. I just recently joined your channel and your kind heart and interactions with your son gave me peace. I wish God Speed and great success in your calling and maybe one day we will meet whether it is here on Earth or in heaven.
Oh man am I going to miss you guys. You’re my favorite channel. Such a quality channel and family. What a blessing you have been. I’m not surprised at your calling; Christ shines through you! I hope there will be some videos to look forward to, so we can watch you and your family grow. Bless you brother!!
While I’m sad your all leaving, I’m very happy that your following your heart and “Answering The Call”. God Bless you and your family and hope that you flourish in your new calling. I WILL MISS YOUR VIDEOS! I’ve been watching since early 2020.
God bless you an your family on its next chapter I have enjoyed being a part of the last chapter through your videos. They will be greatly missed and I look forward to seeing you work with the bees. They are the reason I found your channel.
Friends, the responses to this video have been overwhelming. 500 + comments already within 24 hours of posting, the vast majority positive. There's no way I can respond to all of them. You all have been and continue to be a great encouragement to my family and me. We treasure the friendships we have made through this outlet. Thank you!
Different isn’t bad, it’s just different. Keep your faith, God has your back! Good luck, may God bless you and your wonderful family. I hope you make content again. We’ll see you when we see you.
Never apologize for carrying out Kingdom work! Love seeing you put Christ above all else. Philippians 1:6!
Wes: one of the folks asked, what is a ministry. You should ask yourself the same question.
Wes & Family I wish you all joy & happiness in your calling. As a practising Agnostic some people might seem that strange but that's their problem. Many thanks for all the enjoyment you have provided in all your videos & I'll watch all future videos. A great Irish comedian called Dave Allen always finished his TV show with the words *"May your God go with you"*
Will be praying for you and your family as you answer this calling, thank you for sharing your homestead life with all of us and teaching me some great things that I can use for my family. I have been watching since I was in high school (2018) and you have greatly encouraged my love for beekeeping, homesteading etc and it is always a blessing to see families keep on gods will and not ignore what they are called to do. God bless and good luck!
You may not realize it but you and your family have been giving us the ministry of a hard working and moral family with your channel all along.
Amen! 👏🏻
Amen! Dennis, right you are he has a following right here on this channel. Who is going to educate Wes? I have an idea he would do well as a teacher. With this channel, Wes can have folks from all over the world come to him. I am 87 years old, and he has shown me what he does with his son. You do not tell us what is in the bible, you show us. You simply show us LOVE and that is what the book teaches folks. He does in a way that appears to suit most folks. You will find next to no words against Wes.
The idea of giving up this channel is dumb.
@@chetthejet3896 chet, you're so right about Wes but the young fellow is trying to find himself. I'm 77, I see it just as you do. There has been so many changes in my life since I was in his shoes. Now it's his time for the adventurous future that awaits him. I wish him good journey.
I've never left a comment before, but I truly admire your conviction to God's calling. May our Lord God bless you and your family!
I share your concern that he may have overlooked God's incredible gift of the supernatural growth this online channel through which he could influence thousands for Christ's sake in these end times. He sees the channel as a diversion from God's call when it could be that the desire to pay for seminary led him to his real calling. God will tell him when or if it's time to come home to finish the work he started.
We have enjoyed your video and your example…we will be praying for your changes and know without a doubt…God will use you mighty…..
Congrats! Thankful for your ministry.
God speed on your new adventures, what ever happens with this channel, I’ll support your decisions.
I’ve really enjoyed your videos and it helped me through rough times and will continue to do so as long as the videos are available.
Wish you all the luck in the future.
I really love your channel and admire your commitment to God. I hope you do keep posting occasionally. Good luck with your transition to vocational ministries. May God bless you and your family in all future endeavors. Thank You Wes!! 👍
I’ve always enjoyed watching your channel. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Good on ya! Love the adventure. Will miss your life and work.
Best of Luck in your new venture and a big thank you for all the videos
From a personal view, I really hate to see your channel end but from a fellow believers view, I am extremely glad to see you following your calling. I have always loved to watch you doing your daily chores and wish you nothing but the best in what lies ahead for you. Thank you so much.
God bless you and your family thank you for answering the call in the name of JesusAMEN!!!!!!

You're milling videos helped me convince my buddy he needed one to build projects on his property here in Washington. God bless you and your family.
This is bitter sweet. I started watching your channel a few years ago from the city, and now we own 20 acres in the sticks and I drive a tractor.
I understand you, brother may God bless you and your family at this new phase of your lives!! Take care brother!!
Your news is so awesome ! Prayers for the new season of your life.
Hope fall line ridge will bring some teachings from the Bible. The truth and word needs to be heard by many. And faith, hope, love and strength from the word we all need as we live in the last days.
God bless you Wes and your family !
Hope to hear from you from time to time !
Prayers for God to continue to bless you as you are answering His calling ! Hallelujah thine the glory . My husband and I have enjoyed your channel for quite a while.
Thanks for the videos. We have appreciated your kind heart and are happy for you and your family in your new adventure . God bless you. Go save souls!

I have really enjoyed watching you posts for a while. I just wanted to wish you the best in your endeavors and the best for your family as well.
I came to your channel several months ago looking for ideas on building something, a shed, a coop, I don’t recall. I subscribed because I found I just enjoyed watching you work, and hearing talk about it. You never seemed reluctant to tackle any project. You encouraged me to tackle a few of my own.
Thank you for pursuing the calling God has given you. I will pray for you and your family to know the joy he intends for you there.
Your channel will be sadly missed, I looked forward to each and every episode you put out weekly
The vast improvements you and your family has done to the property you are on will only now benefit someone else that may not appreciate your back breaking efforts which for me coming off the land is extremely sad
I wish you and all your family all the best in your future plans and would love to see you one day get back to working the land because that is also your calling
teaching people how to live and raise a family and livestock is a skill not many people are truly successful with
Wishing you great success in your calling. All the best for 2024 and the years to come.
I just came across your channel on Nov 5th, 2024. I watched three episodes including this one. I hope everything is working out as planned for you & your family! God Bless you & your family!
I am so happy and Proud of you for the decision you have made for yourself and your family. I am not a subscriber but have been watching your channel the last two years. Me and my family will miss the videos, but, you are doing what God has called you to do. Me and wife will be praying for you and your family. God Bless
Praying for y'all's next life adventure. My husband has been watching for a long time and I have loved to watch your son growing. Blessings for all.
Wes, no need to apologize. You have single handedly been an inspiration to me and what I've become, and can say you've guided me. From learning to build a counter top from re-purposed fencing to sawmilling. You were the first I started to follow during the pandemic and opened my eyes to the love of so many new endeavors that have significantly changed my life for the better. It's amazing to think how something like a, how to, video ignites a passion in another such as sawmilling or woodworking and can change a person's life. You gave a morning devotional on a day I needed it the most. A day that was a make it or break it for me on the mill. I watched it at 0500 before firing up the machines and I put that day in God's hands and I made it! You help so many and will miss your videos. I'm local and we have many mutual friends and one day we will meet and I'll share with you in person what you've done for me. Godspeed
I applaud you in your willingness to do what God has called you to do. You have been a joy to watch. You are a real person. You always presented yourself as who you are. Thanks for allowing us to follow you.
Hello This is the first comment I’ve ever made on a channel
My name is Jeff I’m a builder from central ohio
Love your channel , my thoughts are that , you will never in 3 lifetimes touch as many people as you are now , so living your life for Christ , your already there , just my thoughts , Thank your for sharing your life
I started watching for the sawmill tips when I bought mine. I continued to watch because of your frankness and easy going attitude towards everyday occurrences. Will be sad to not see future videos, and sadder to see your child raised away from the freedom of a farm. I also honor and praise your calling and wish you great success in all your endeavors. May your new year be prosperous, productive, healthy and happy.
Wes, this breaks my heart! You’re already a pastor, people look to you to see how to live a moral, hardworking and loving way of life, closer to the land that is God’s creation. We eagerly await each new upload. You’re already leading a flock closer to the Lord, you point the way, you are a light in a world of darkness and Immorality. The biblical heroes tilled the land to leave to their children, you inspired me to read scripture and escape my doomed life in the city but to take up carpentry as was the job that Jesus labored to aid his family and community. You’re gonna be missed, I pray that you find what you hope to in your new calling. God bless.
Really enjoyed your channel I decide on a 1967 ford 3000 after seeing how capable it was in your videos. Thank you and god bless.
Thank you for the videos and praying for your time in seminary. Looking forward to your next chapter. God bless you, your family and your ministry.
Your channel quickly became my most favorite discovery of 2023. I live roughly 30 minutes away from your general location and throughly enjoyed living through your videos. Please know that everything you have done on this channel has touched, inspired, and helped many people. God works in many ways and you may be surprised how many were touched through your videos! Thank you and good luck to you and your upcoming adventures.
I am a graduate of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in 1994. You are truly an inspiration. God's Grace is truly evident in your life. In this time of cultural tumult, we need faithful men of God to charge forward with the Gospel message. Jay Bud
Will be praying for you and your family as you answer this calling, thank you for sharing your homestead life with all of us and teaching me some great things that I can use for my family. I have been watching since I was in high school (2018) and you have greatly encouraged my love for beekeeping, homesteading etc and it is always a blessing to see families keep on gods will and not ignore what they are called to do. God bless and good luck!
God bless you for your work on the channel and your further work to come in the church. My wife and I have loved watching your channel as a way to dream about our own future while we live in the city and save up for something like what you have in your family. The grass is always greener as they say! Would love to see updates on you and your family once in a while even without the homestead.
As a subscriber I will miss your videos very much. I am happy for you. Answering Gods calling is never a mistake. I'm sure God will bless you and your family. The world needs the truth preached now more than ever. Thanks for sharing your life with us and God Bless!
Oh mercy! We have really enjoyed your videos and watching you and your family, I believe we have watched every one. We especially enjoy watching your little sidekick grow. He is absolutely adorable! We wish you all the best in your new endeavors, but know that you and your family will be sorely missed. This will be a very difficult transition for y'all, many prayers!
Brother, thank you. When I found your channel, I knew there was something different about you. Thank you, my brother in Christ, for following the call. I will miss your videos, but we will be praying for you. God bless you and he will use you to build His kingdom. Thank you for your example. Thank you for your encouragement. I look forward to seeing you in the kingdom and thanking you in person.✝
Thank you for allowing us to come with you and your family on this journey. I will miss your videos and if you ever decide to come back and spread the word of the Lord while you do some homesteading I for one would certainly be happy to hear it.
Wow. Yes a big move for sure. I'm going to miss your videos. I do understand your motivation. God bless you and your family. Our prayers are with you all !
You do you, thank you for bringing us on the homestead journey. 🙂
Wes, from our family to yours god bless you. You have brought us much joy and laughter, good luck in your new journey and destination. 🥲
Wes and family. My second comment after reading all other comments. Look at what you have already done in the service or our Lord. You have ministered to 340,000 folks. We all seem to feel the same way. God blessings to all who commented and especially to you. Watching old video now. With small tears in eyes. Love you and God Bless.
Good morning Young man, Wes. I am sadden to see you and your family on the homestead coming to an end; but happy to hear you are moving toward your main calling.
As a minister of serving others I can and will assure you in the best way I can, you will gain exponential as a servant of Jesus Christ. I started a RUclips channel back in August of 2023, knowing that in November 2023 I would no longer be a Pastor after 41 years. I knew I would need still need to use my love of Jesus in another way. Therefore I started the RUclips channel as a result of watching you with your kindness and sincere love of Jesus, knowing my time as a minister of a Baptist Church was coming to an end. I have been able to channel my love of Jesus in another way;
When you gave your testimony in the door of the chicken house, I felt the Holy Spirit saying "see God is sending others out to fill in the void". Again Thank you for your Service for the heavenly Kingdom.
On April the 6th I will be 80 years old it has been a blessing to work for the Father the Son and Holy Ghost.
Sincerely With Prays for your Journey
Lenville Maxwell.
Wes, loved following along, you owe us nothing as viewers, you brought us into your life and now your life has a new plan, all the best to you and your family, you need to do whats best for Wes. I watch the work that needs to be done on that kind of acreage and farmland, it`s not for everybody. Maybe ministry is, like you say look at all the people you could help, wish you well in your endeavor my friend, all the best.
I am now old and retired. During my working lifetime, there have been multiple people that I have worked with or managed that have had a dream to do something different. I have always encouraged those people to follow their dream, even when their leaving was going to be a hardship for me. I applaude you for following your calling. I have enjoyed your videos and watching you and your family in your lives. Thank you and Good Luck.
I have enjoyed watching you and family stay ordinary folks. Really get a kick out of your boy helping you. Hope you get the house finished before you have to go. Good luck and God bless.
All praise and glory be to God.. thank you for all you've done and i Iook forward to what God has planned for you next. I'll be praying for you and your family. Numbers 6:24-26
Think of the life of those kids that just got changed. They went from frolicking around acres of private land playing w mom n dad n animals. Huge real life lessons, then they move to a smaller apartment. Damn my heart hurts for those kids cuz I didn’t opposites went from a populated area moved to a farm/country house and the joy the land brings to my daughter is all n everything I’ll ever need in life. It’s the best.
As much as our family will miss your videos and content, I so respect your decision. I think it is so admirable to leave this behind and seek a higher calling. All the best wishes and blessings to you and you're family. I hope you find a way to continue to share bits and pieces with us. 🩷🩷
I started following you when I was living in Israel dreaming of moving to the USA and running my own homestead.
For the past year and a half I have been running my homestead with my family in Western PA.
A big part of it is inspired by you.
I will deeply miss your videos and I'm feeling very sorry that watching them will not be part of my daily routine.
I wish you and your wonderful family all the best and if you will be able to upload videos once in a while when you come back to the farm, it would be great.
I have watched you for some time and always enjoyed watching and following you on your farm. I can tell you’re a nice person, and you always been polite and respectful to other people. I wish you and your family all the best and will continue to watch you in the future. God bless you and your family.
My family and I will miss your videos and your little boy! We wish you luck and we will pray for you and your family .God Bless!
Have always enjoyed your videos and watching your son grow up. At the end we want God to say “ well done my faithful servant” Blessings.
Exciting news! You have been an inspiration for our channel. Nothing lasts forever, and it sounds like we may still see you periodically still.
Surprise! I've watched them all. Always remembered your seminary history and wondered what was to come of that. You do you, Thanks for sharing your family with us. Happy for you. Good luck going forward in 2024😊🎉
Started watching your channel couple years ago and really have enjoyed your videos. Enjoyed watching you interact with your son and your patients. I was sure you were a Christian because your spirit bared witness with mine. I understand the call that is on your life because I answered that call in 1989 and packed up my family and moved from TN to Graceville, FL. To attend FL Baptist Theological College. Now I have retired and moved back to Graceville to enjoy life. So I will be lifting you and your family up in prayer. I know God will guide you and direct your path. God bless you my friend.
Wes, I have watched every episode you have made. There are not many channels I watch, so it’s sad that I wount be able to watch in the future. I hope to see some videos once in a while. Bless you and your family. I have learned a lot about milling from you. It has made my milling work better. So thank you. Best of luck
You are a good man doing good things! Bless you and the path you are on!
I pray you shoot a video when bee harvest comes, you are following what God has planned for you. God Bless you and your Family
God bless you brother, I admire.your adherence to your call. Thank you for letting us know and Ill be praying for you and your family through these big changes!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOU SHARING YOUR TESTIMONY OF YOUR "FAITHFULNESS" TO THE CALLING OF GOD´S WILL IN YOUR LIFE. As a 14 year old boy, I gave my life to be used of God as a preacher or what-ever He wanted of me. After finishing HS I married, went to Bible College, and in the 2nd year 1972 I felt impressed of God to go to the mission field. My wife, was willing also to serve, our 4 boys grew up on the field, and we just completed 50 years of service church planting, children´s ministry, translation etc. We came home on furlough this year which has been more medical since I got covid-19 there, and ended up liver diseased. Our plans were and are to go back health permitting this year. This has become longer than I anticipated, but just wanted to let you know that God is faithful, and I have loved that quoted for many, many years. "...only what´s done for Christ will last." May God give YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GRACE AND MERCY TO BE FAITHFUL!!! I have really enjoyed watching your videos for several years. God Bless, Charles
Thank you for the helpful videos! Praying you and your family enjoy the journey with the Lord on this new adventure.
May God's Blessing continue to come for you and your wonderful family. Im sorry the channel will be greatly missed but I understand and will be praying for y'all. And so a new adventure begins!!
I love that you are following your heart. I will miee watching your son grow and play om your homested. God bless you and your family
thank you for all tour time and effort in helping us understand what it takes to become independent of the government. God bless you and your family, and the lord is with you as you go into your new adventure with your family. Take care and we will always welcome you back to the channel.
@falllineridge - It has been an absolute pleasure watching your progress i homesteading. And, what a joy watching your family grow! I am thrilled to hear about your pursuit of a ministry vocation. Prayers for this move and your impact on those the Lord puts in your path.
Blessings brother!
While I will miss your videos, your ministry is so much more important and needed right now. I hope you will keep us posted, at least occasionally, on your mission. May almighty God bless you.
You all will be missed! Thank you for everything, God bless and keep you all!
May God bless you and your family and keep you well. Thank you!
Blessings to you and your Family!!!!!!!!!!!!! You and your family are amazing people. I wish you all the best on your new calling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wes, all I can say is, you need to do what God is leading you and your family to do. I along with so many others have truly loved your videos and your family. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it. May God be with you and your family on your new adventure and be at peace with your decision. God Bless.
Ah Wes man you give yourself too little credit, it has been fun living vicariously through you but there's lot of channels like yours. You walk and talk us through your world like none of the others can and that's why we watch your videos. RUclips is a beast of algorithms and personalities but you stand out above them just by being you. Thanks for all your hard work and letting us tag along for so many things. Life is short and others need you now, god speed Wes and good luck on the next adventure!
HERE HERE! DITTO!
Thank you for all your videos. I have enjoyed watching them. I understand, you have a calling. That is a powerful thing. I wish you and your family the best of luck with your future. Thank you again for the hours and hours of entertainment, education, and laughs.
I will certainly miss your videos and especially the interaction with the little guy. Good luck to you. I feel certain you will make the world a better place.
I stumbles across your channel little over a year ago now, I have truly enjoyed them all. God bless you and your family in your new adventures. I will truly miss your videos.
You’re doing a great thing sir. Good luck to you and your family in the future. God bless.
You have become affectionately known as Honey guy in our house. Our 3 year olds favorite channel, he has been so inspired by your work and your being a man of God. God will use your experiences you have had to serve the church you lead in the future, all things work together for His goodness. God Bless your journey "Honey guy" 😊.
Thank you for your videos. I have not been with you for the entire 6 years, but I have looked forward to every time you release a new one since I found your channel. Thank you for sharing your life with us and allowing me to be one of the city folks who lived vicariously through your lens. I pray blessings for your family, and success in your ministry. I also pray for your encouragement as you step out in faith to follow your calling. May God speak clearly about His path for you and your family.
Your homestead videos will be missed but it’s best to do what your heart is calling you to do. Thank you and looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much for the time you gave us. It was such a pleasure watching you and your family on your property. So glad you have chosen to put your time into Christ and do what you can to further His kingdom. Good luck and God Bless ❤
I sure have enjoyed your videos over the years watching you working your land and all the other things you have shared with us. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your family also it was always enjoyable to see you and your little boy do things together
Good luck with spreading the gospel and
God Bless
My dude, your best ministry outreach opportunity is this channel. You're never going to reach as many hearts and minds as you will here. Love you man.
Thank you for sharing your life. I will miss your videos. I am glad to see you following your heart. God bless you and your family.
To God be all the glory! You my friend have used your platform to be a fisher of men ( and women ). Your channel was the first one I subscribed to as I began my saw milling journey. You and your videos were something that I could relate to and I think thats why so many others subscribed. Funny story, I am a home builder by trade and when I first subscribed and started watching your videos, my wife would tell me to send you one of our home building shirts for advertising because you wore an old torn T-shirt in a lot of your videos then. She would always ask if I was watching the " ripped shirt" guys videos again. 😆
I want to thank you mostly though for being a man of God first and being obedient in your walk. You are a true example of what we as men are called to do for our family, our community and for each other and I look forward to see how God works in your life moving forward! I would say best of luck, but you don't need luck if your serving the kingdom of God!
Brady James
I have watched your videos for a very long time and can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed them so very much. I have learned a lot from you and have admired your ability to figure out things.
You’re relationship with your son has touched my heart in a very personal
way because my wife and I lost our Son Nicholas at the age of four and a half years. So to have watched your enter actions with your family has brought me such joy and comfort. The best of luck to you and your family on your next adventure and may God richly you in your service to him. You all will be sorely missed and fondly remembered in our hearts .
Amen Brother! I wish y'all well and your works for Christ. Thank you for the enjoyment.
Wishing you all the best and what the good lord has in store for you. God Bless in all your future endeavors. Take care of that little guy too, he’s been a hoot.❤
I've been watching you from the beginning.. I wear your swag while I mill.. God Bless you and your family!!! 👍From CADILLAC MICHIGAN 🙏
I'm writing again now that I've seen the end of your video and read the poem. Beautiful words, eternally meaningful. Again, I've prayed for you and your family that He will help you through trials and storms and put a hedge of protection around you all. More specifically, I prayed for your son (and all other kids who may come) that they too, would love God and serve Him their lives long.
Never ever apologize for following Jesus Christ. Thank you for all your efforts in producing content around homesteading! Can’t wait to see where the Lord leads you.
Wes, I don't believe as you do, but I respect the fact that you are following your calling. Thanks for all the great content of the years and good luck to you and your family!
Not knowing much about and what your values are, it does not suprise me at all that serving Christ is your calling. I just recently joined your channel and your kind heart and interactions with your son gave me peace. I wish God Speed and great success in your calling and maybe one day we will meet whether it is here on Earth or in heaven.
Oh man am I going to miss you guys. You’re my favorite channel. Such a quality channel and family. What a blessing you have been. I’m not surprised at your calling; Christ shines through you! I hope there will be some videos to look forward to, so we can watch you and your family grow. Bless you brother!!
While I’m sad your all leaving, I’m very happy that your following your heart and “Answering The Call”. God Bless you and your family and hope that you flourish in your new calling. I WILL MISS YOUR VIDEOS! I’ve been watching since early 2020.
God bless you an your family on its next chapter I have enjoyed being a part of the last chapter through your videos. They will be greatly missed and I look forward to seeing you work with the bees. They are the reason I found your channel.
May God richly bless you and your family as you follow His calling. Thank you for the many times you’ve shared your faith in your videos.
