My husband and I saw this years ago. We left the Los Angeles are in 1968. My family nor our friends could believe we'd leave Southern California for the state of Iowa. "You can't make the money there that you can here. The winters are atrocious." The statements were true but when my father said, "Why don't you stay here, make good money and go to Iowa on vacation", I tried telling him that we wanted the full year of living rural and seeing what it was like, not just 2 weeks a year. We weren't hippies going back to the land thinking we could feed and clothes ourselves. We knew better. We worked our jobs because we needed money to live but we also bought an acreage and had animals, gardens, etc. I learned to can, freeze, dehydrate, etc. We've been here 55 years now and never been sorry we made the move. Yes, people if you want this life, you can do it. We were poor as church mice for a number of years, BUT we were also young and in love and had a ball leaning all the new and totally different things. We don't work like we did BUT we don't have to because we made the move while we were young and strong. Now we're old, 76 and 79, but it's been a great life and well worth all the effort it took to get where we are today. Not rich, absolutely not, but debt free, and still living the good life.

As someone who went through a lawsuit I’ll give you the advice that was given to us. “This too shall pass; it might feel like a kidney stone, but it will pass”

We homeschooled for 13 years, best decision we ever made. We produced 3 God loving, very productive, successful adults.

Change starts at home.... that's why I watch you. So many people cry the victim instead of doing something about it.

Oh Zac, I know exactly what you and Jen are going through. Been through it myself and it lasted 10 years in court before I finally won my case. I represented myself in my case. It was blood sucking my mental state dry. Sleepless nights, serious migraines every day and even lasting for days continually. The fight I have to say, was worth it. It made me tougher, stronger and much more aware of my surroundings and the zombies in it. I gained a ton of knowledge during that lawsuit. If was tough I grant you that. When it first began, I had no idea what I was doing but I learned quickly. It was like going to law school in a self taught situation but never obtaining a degree. I even had a mini stroke during the process probably caused by massive stress. I couldn’t afford a lawyer so I had to learn. No options. Mine ended up in. Trial by 12 jurors with a unanimous vote in my favor and a huge million dollar award. My case was decimation with malicious intent. That’s a tough one to win and she even had a lawyer. So buddy, if I can do it, you can too. I have faith in you that God will stand beside you in these troubled times. Just keep your faith strong and know that you and Jen are much loved and respected. I will keep you all in my prayers brother. We love you and know you will come out of this a better, stronger person.

Right on! Stand for Truth! Have Faith! Pray for Guidance! Trust God! God Bless America!

You had me at 20:18...damn right it is a cult. I get looked at like I'm crazy when I'm at work, coming in at 3am to cover shifts, talking about how I cant wait to be able to just be HOME. I get met with comments like "Well Christine some of us have to work for a living..." My response? Oh I'll work for my living, but I'll be working for MYSELF at home, sunrise to sunset I'll be working my tail off because that's what I am called to do. That day will come, I pray it every single day. Thank you for posting this. We cant wait to see you guys at HOA!

Concerning the lawsuit. The sun will shine again. Not today, not tomorrow, and possibly not the next. However, the sun will shine again. So stinking proud of you and Jen and your family. Press on. BLESSINGS!!!

Praying!! You're not alone!! You know what you're doing!! Go with God! An 81 yr old is behind you all the way.

My oldest son is a Senior this year and wants to finish high school at his public school and I can understand this. But I pulled my other kids out and it has been the best thing ever. It’s definitely an adjustment, but I’m seeing for myself what a difference it makes. We will keep your family in our prayers. Life never ceases to throw things at you (all of us). Keep strong. And thank you for sharing your lives with us.

Dang, y'all. Hope all the crappy stuff resolves soon. Stand strong, like always.

I agree completely with you. Please don't loose your joy. You and Jen have each other and your children and that's everything. We've all experienced really bad times and so many people want to think the worse. I've found prayer works and helps keep your joy.

I’m sorry to hear that I hope this get resolved soon. I will pray for you all.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

We have to stand up for ourselves. Be brave. Thanks for this talk!

You're totally right-- it IS a cult, and I am not a part of it, I am a child of God. He is my provider, He is my faith... God bless you!

Times and people are very toxic. We all need to speak up and fight for a different way to live. Well said thank you!

You are so right about the Rockefeller CULT - I have stepped outside of that and I intend to stay there. I am 77 years old and, like my dear departed Father, I simply MARCH TO A DIFFERENT DRUMMER.

You are so right! We homeschooled when it wasn’t popular with no support from family except from my father who agreed that the school system has broke down and caused family division and ignorance with government dependency. You are on the right track, keep up,the good work and keep moving forward. He is your rewarder. Hugs, love, and lots of prayers from Texas!

I hope that you and Jen know that your words don't fall on deaf ears. It is such a blessing to watch and listen to your channel. ❤

Don't let this steal your joy! You have so many people that love you guys hang in there!

I’m so sorry you all are having to go through this 😢.

From my home to yours, Zach and Jenn, thanks for sharing your reality. We respect the path you've chosen and, y'all are in our prayers....and now we know to send up a prayer for Stivers Homestead, that the Lord make a way where there is no way with regard to your lingering concern. P.S. love the little pumpkins!

Life is never easy for those who love the Lord. My mom called all her troubles and illnesses Growing Pains. I’m 78 and have been through my share of those Growing Pains but light and love conquers all. Be safe, happy, and keep enjoying every little moment knowing that joy eventually comes in the morning! God Bless You All!

It took 5 years of litigation to get through all of our property issues. Good luck and lots of prayers that your situation goes well.

Yes we did, we didn’t take anything either and so far we made it. We will not take anything this go around either. People need to realize our home is our home, no one else. God Bless you and Jen and the kids. We are on you side, keep going strong. God will take care of everything.

Sending prayers that this lawsuit will come to a beneficial conclusion for your family and that you get feeling better soon🙏

I remember years ago when you first moved to this property speaking about some people showing up and harassing you and having to have Jen hide the kids. When you started talking about the lawsuit over the land these was jogged in my memory. Prayers for you and your family. God will see you through this.

I can totally relate. We have been in a land lawsuit for nearly 5 years now....the original judge ruled against us....however we appealed and the appeals court reversed that decision....but they are motioning to have the appeals court to reconsidered.....it is stressful. My prayers will certainly be with you.

So sorry you are having to jump through all the hassle with a lawsuit. Prayers for you and your family that it will be resolved soon and the property can be your forever property

Amen Zach. Here we go again. Taking a stand for our faith and against tyranny. Praying for a boomerang in the situation _ what the enemy means for evil will return to them. I pray protection and provision for all who call on the name of Jesus. Glad you’re on the mend. Thank you for these kind of talks.

Zach and Jen, you are such fine people. Thank you for this video. It is so important for people to follow their heart…

Praying for you all. God is all powerful. Keep on being real

Zack I am sorry for what you and Jen are going through. I love your message here!

DONT EVER SAY UR SICK...SAY UR HEALING...WORDS MATTER!!!

We stood up last time, and we will continue to stand up as they are trying to shut us down again with mandates. Still trying to push their agenda! Change does begin at home ❤

I am sorry your family is going thru the lawsuit. Keep your heads up, you all are great!

Preach Brother Zach! Yes, we live in a society of zombies/sheep. As I’m sitting here with “the Vid” I just ordered my first set of tinctures from yall. Hope you feel better soon. Jenn has your back! Squeeze on each other because no matter what life throws at you, you still have each other and that’s better than any typical paycheck can provide.

"You have to make changes at home to make YOUR life better." Wise words. ^^^ Sorry that you've had to go through all of this. I can see the fatigue and how draining it is on your spirit. I hope when you come out on the other side, you all can have a sense of peace. Don't let anyone or the lawsuit steal your joy. Also, I want to say I appreciate your channel and the effort you and Jen have put into it to help others. Thank you. 😊

Thank you! This is what I've been saying. Your words reminded me of one of my favorite songs, Dream Small. My motto always is "BE the change". You can't change the world, you can only change yourself. Then share what you've learned and that will radiate out into the world. Rest, feel better. You are all in my prayers.

I just started this video but I want to weigh in really quick on the "shorts". I see the trend toward shorts and I enjoy them before bed time, for sure. BUT I stayed with youtube (even tho I HATE them for heavy scensoring) because there are still people I want to learn from. You guys are one of my go to channels! I'm so happy to hear you say that you won't only do shorts! ❤ Also, I'm sorry that you're going through so much. It seems like life isn't giving a lot of breaks these days. I've said a prayer that your family starts feeling the joy again. You got this, Stivers Family!

I totally agree with you we have to say No! I will not comply! It’s our rights our God given free will, do not let them take that away.

We pulled our daughter out of public school in second grade, pulled her out of private school in third grade, and homeschooled after that. She’s an amazing, levelheaded young woman now. We never regretted it once.

You guys keep doing what you’re doing! The devil strikes when you’re low, stay strong! Your true fans will be there for you ❤🙏 DO NOT COMPLY! 🤠

Thanks for the Truth Talk! Yes, we need to break out of the Roosevelt model. Good luck in your lawsuit!

#1. LOVE the blue pumpkins! #2. I am SOOOO sorry that you are experiencing a lawsuit. Praying for a great outcome for your family. Love you guys…..

Herbalist here...been feeling "under the weather" the last 3 days. Took colloidal silver and my own lung tea blend. All better today! I rarely get sick at all except when i get over tired, which is what happened. Rest is just as important as what you put in your body, but sometimes life doesnt allow enough rest...like getting ready for winter!

Stay strong ..I have been there a couple of times.,people want easy pay .. at least in my experience I seen that twice!!! And yes it brings me Down when it got close….prayers for strength and guidance ✝️🙏🏽💜

Amen....glad you can put into words what a great number of people feel.!!!! Keep on keepin on!!!

Sending much love and many prayers. You are so spot on “Change starts at home”. 🥰

I appreciate y'all so much for all to do to show and tell us about your lives. My only issue about not being able to homeschool my daughter, is that her father is no way on board with it. He doesn't understand how better it could be and I'm stuck in a situation because I don't want my daughter to be in the middle. Her dad and I are divorced so it makes it really difficult. That's my only reason why I haven't yet. Love y'all!

Don’t give up!! Hang in there!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕 We all need to remember WE are in the MAJORITY! That’s were change happens. It’s time to dump the tea people!

Y’all are in my prayer list right now!!! Resolve this matter n their favor Lord!! In Jesus Name!!!

I hate that you guys are going through this😢 People can be so mean. Just because people share THEIR LIVES, doesn’t give anyone the right to, even really, VOICE their opinion, unless they are asked too. Zack & Jen are sharing their lives, if they want to sell anything or buy anything, we should be happy they made a choice that helps THEM. PS: I am BEYOND happy we are “pure bloods” and praying for all the others🙏🙏🙏 * STAY AWAY FROM THE ZOMBIES!!!

Amen, thanks for saying it like it is :) I just quit my job and have never been happier. My garden looks great :) thanks for the videos.

Prayers are going up for you all. 🙏 Just take it day by day. Thanks for all you do to inform us.

Zach, you and your family bring us Joy and Hope. Your always so Honest, care-ing, encouraging and hopeful. You care. You teach. Thank You for being You. I will pray this lawsuit-whatever it is-is over soon and in your favor. Personally I can't see any reason for this to be happening to you all. Best Wishes.

Thank you for reminding us what we need to do. You and Jen are wonderful examples for us to follow. Praying for y’all.

God Bless this dear family! Thanks for the visit and wisdom Zac. 🙏🏻✝️💟🙂👍

Hopeful better times are ahead for y’all. May this lawsuit be successfully resolved in your favor. Always enjoy seeing your family grow and thrive.

We are praying for you and your family! Hopefully it comes to an end and in a good way soon! We were able to go from 3 babies in a tiny bedroom all together in a MAJOR fixer up home where we had sewage in our basement every other week where our laundry was at for 5 years.... and able to move to a little under 3 acres where we have room in the house to move around! Taught myself to garden, preserve, cook and so much more! And you guys were the ones to inspire us to push and try!! ❤ This year I pulled my oldest to homeschool to see if we can do it! Because I am nervous that I'm gonna miss something important that my kids need to know! But I'm not gonna stand by and let someone else raise my kids! And I think we are already feeling confident that this is the right move so next year I'm keeping all 3 at home to homeschool them! You guys are such an inspiration. Stay strong!!! You have no idea how many lives yall have touched and changed in a good way!! ❤ there will ALWAYS be those haters who are so negative and hate their own lives that they feel they need to pull down those around them. All we can do is pray for them and know we are doing what God wants us to do! 💞 Please! Don't give up! We love yall! Happy Birthday Raylan!

So sorry you are going through this. I know how stressful and frustrating it is to go through a lawsuit that drags on for years. Know that your videos and your message help and inspire many people. Blessings to you.

Zach and Jen. Listen! You are blessed and children of the most high God. Give it to God He will fight your battles for you. He will keep you.. I love you guys so much! My heartbreaks for your situation . Hugs and kisses and lots of prayers ❤❤❤💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks for healing a bunch of hurt ankles etc with Gods gifts to us.

Here here!! Well spoken Zach!! See here in Canada the parents and communities are standing uo in their beliefs for the little ones!! Across this country in over 169 areas they said no more to the indoctrination of our children! 👏 👏

I'm sorry that you are under this stress and it lowers your immune response. Thankful you have Jen to help you heal. Words of wisdom in this video

We homeschooled our kids in the 90's and now help homeschool our grandchildren. Best decision we ever made!

I chose to vaccinate but that was my decision. Both my kids do not do the 9 to 5 jobs and my family wonders why. I am happy that they are doing what makes them happy.

We just had the 19….we used 3 Oz garlic and 3 Oz horseradish puréed in the blender then cover with honey to make a paste. Let it sit on the counter for 5/6 days. Take 1 tsp 3x a day. It clears the lungs and nose right up

Applause to you Guys!! Totally understand your thinking and agree.

Stay strong... y'all will get through this! You and Jen are honest and open. Sometimes raw but It is refreshing to see. Your quote "change happens at home" is something I have said forever. Also, I see the LOVE on your face as you talk about your children. ❤

I remember when you and Jen moved to this property. You had trouble with some people that you had to secure your property for your protection. I'm so sorry you guys are still dealing with some problems or lawsuits. Stay strong we love you guys and keep you in our prayers. And you are right, if you believe strongly in something. Stand strong for it.

So sorry to hear what you have been going through. I love watching your channel because you are always so upbeat, while being informative, and letting us seeing a glimpse of your life. Everyone goes through trials, and some really bring us down. I hope everything turns out the way it should, and you can move forward. Prayers to your family.

This makes me really sad for you all !! Prayers for the Stivers family!! You are Loved!!

Zach you and Jen are two wonderful people. Your children are beautiful and precious. Y’all are such a beautiful blessing. Stay the warriors path and GOD in your minds, hearts, and souls, and he will take care of everything. 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Prayers for the life stress to end soon. We're here for you. Keep the faith.

So sorry for you and your family for what you have been going through. I pray that the outcome is in your favor. You have a wonderful and loving wife and beautiful children. God will guide you and Jenn. Praying for you all. ❤

I live in Kentucky too Western Kentucky Providence, Ky. Hope you feel better soon and prayers everything goes good for you in your lawsuit.

My husband & i left a cult we were born into nearly 25 yrs ago ( we were in our mid & late 30's...we're in our early 60s now..the very needed & necessary changes & deprogramming did NOT come easy ...but boy! Our life is so much more rewarding for esp the confidence gained in all these yrs of growth...we can all do better in being creative free thinking sovereign ppl...great analogy: 'cult' ( mindsets can be both freeing & enslaving)

Thank you so much, I needed this today! 🙏 I hope you feel completely better soon! 😊

Oh I’m so sorry y’all have to go through this. We will be praying! God will vindicate you ❤

Homeschooling my children from the beginning was the BEST decision we ever made

Amen NO FEAR!🙏 No weapon formed against us shall prosper! 🙏

Glad to hear you are on the mend. The creeping crud got ahold of us too and this time kicked my tail to the dirt. On the mend myself. Sorry to hear about the mess going on there at the property. We have to have faith, believe and claim victory over it. LOVE LOVE LOVE all the pumpkins. A bit low-key jelly of all the color changes and wonderful weather you are talking about. :) We have a few more triple digit days to go and hopefully finally some cooler weather and rain. Always have and always will stand behind y'all. Love y'all to the moon and back

I can see it in your eyes, that you believe what you are saying, it is coming from your heart. Love and believe the words your are saying and people will follow. God Bless you.

You hit the nail on the head. Change always starts with us. We've been thinking that those 'cult" folks are mentally ill. Thanks for being a voice of reason. Everything you said is Biblical... especially that"wrong will seem and right will seem wrong." Keep the faith, it's what sustains us that believe.

Thank you for the great video and reminder in these lonely times . Praying for complete healing for you and your family . Put on the armor of God according to Ephesians 🙂

Praying for you all. Hope it all works out what ever it is.

Love, hugs and prayers! ❤

Thanks for sharing truth praying for y’all 🙏🎺🕊️🪔🙌🏾🕊️

I will pray that the "plague" heals quickly, and that the lawsuit will resolve soon. I've been through my own woes and there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Keep your heads up and I'm sending my love and two big hugs!!

Oh no. I’m so sorry to hear about the lawsuit

I will send prayers for justice to be served. It is in godshands. I can understand how you feel to a certain point. I have a neighbor that moved in way after I lived where I live. And she’s been a nightmare. Always trouble can’t live, can’t enjoy my property. Because there’s always a problem on her side. This is people don’t want good thing for us. They want to steal our toy, and they are jealous of our hard work. But I really believe that y’all get through this, and it’ll work out great!

I understand what you are saying and totally agree. My family has stopped supporting certain stores and products. Do we stop something we don’t believe in and totally support another product that is just as bad as the one we stopped supporting?

You are not alone, good people are attacked from all angles. I am sorry you are going through this but thank you for sharing. Stand strong together.

Dang good topic on this video. I'm not in that cult either. Didn't take the juice either. I stand with this community and freethinkers

Love the tree analogy! Yes I can climb out on that branch all by myself, with no family. Honestly, I aready have crawled out more than half way, I just need to keep going, not turn back out of fear. Thanks for the motivation!

The "mandates" (which are NOT laws) have been removed because of all the lawsuits!!! I know for a fact that the mask mandate in Tx was cancelled about 4 days after our governor Abbott received a lawsuit. I have a copy of it. No human being or any legal entity, or any corporation/company has the legal authority to require or coerce you into participating in any medical intervention. The problem with we the people is we've been so dumbed down, we don't know or understand legal language or what law actually is.

Thank you. Well said. God Bless

God bless you, Jen, and your sweet kids. Praying for you all.

We had a disgruntled neighbor sue us when we were building our home (ourselves) . We were there years before he built and moved next door (we were on 5 acre lots in the country). And was a long drawn out nightmare! In the end, neither of us won. It was finally after 3 or 4 years, dismissed! But it does drag you down...just the uncertainty is very mentally taxing!!!
