Spirit & Soil

Spirit & Soil was formed to create a vibrant, spirit-centered internship that focuses on teaching practical homestead and farming skills in the context of growing closer to the Creator, Jesus Christ. The internship is focused on developing an understanding for our place in creation, with God, while also equipping each intern with the practical skills and experience of raising their own food and stewarding the land in a way that God speaks about in the Book of Genesis. Our program will be a 12-week intensive where students will be exposed to many different farming enterprises, farm business skills, natural healing and cooking skills, and most importantly, biblical understanding and encounter with God so that they can leave equipped practically and spiritually in farming.

Our book “Spirit and Soil’ will be available for purchase in our store. It is written in a way that can be self-guided or gone through with a group; we wanted to lay it out in a way that people could go through it at their own pace, on their own land.

While we are still building out some structures to make an in-person internship possible here on our property we wanted to make the material available in the interim.

The ultimate goal of this printed material is that it would help empower other Jesus-following farmers and farms to launch internships of their own using this material, forming a vibrant community where we can love the land and pursue land stewardship together.

Helping to pass on farm skills to the next generation while learning what it means to be a steward of the land as God intended, in relationship with Him, is at the core of who we are and what we are doing. We hope to not only equip the current and coming generation practically and spiritually, but to inspire them into a deeper revelation of God, in intimacy with Him, as He reveals more of Himself and our purposes here on earth. We hope this document is a blessing and a launching pad for many to come.
