Health for Godly Generations by Renee DeGroot

Health For Godly Generations (Book Excerpt)

By Jason Fowler on 02/05/2012

In her book Health for Godly Generations, the author Renee DeGroot has compiled a deeply thoughtful and provoking conversation…I consider this book to be a solid entry into the growing Christian conversation on health, food and the multi-faceted issues that surround this element of our lives.

Renewing the foodshed: seeking the shalom of our communities

Seeking shalom: Renewing the Regional Foodshed

By Jason Fowler on 01/20/2012

I’m not sure the exact moment that this happen but at some point over the past five years I became passionate about food and agriculture…This long journey in exploring issues of food, health and agriculture (and how they all relate) has also coincided with a deeper spiritual journey…

Behold Your King: A Christmas Greeting

By Jason Fowler on 12/24/2011

Let us remember that GOD’s purposes can be birthed in us as we too go low, go small, and labor as He leads us – we need only to be willing vessels. Peace to you this Christmas from our family to yours…

Will we perceive Jesus' presence in the craziness of Christmas?

Missing Christ: Confessions of a Christmas Shopper

By Jason Fowler on 12/22/2011

For a split second, time and space froze. What if that word – ‘Christ’ – what if the Word became flesh right there in the store – what if he showed up at cash register number #17?…

GOD's answer to all that is broken was the Incarnation...

A Tea Party, An Occupation and People of the Incarnation

By Jason Fowler on 12/07/2011

Maybe the answer is not a tea party or an occupation or any protest movement after all. I believe we must give ourselves, as disciples of Jesus, to another movement – to His living Body – a people who are again re-incarnating a kingdom not of this world…

Biosolids: an assault to our land and our communities

Dark Soil: Ending the Land Application of Biosolids In America

By Jason Fowler on 11/30/2011

I came home the other night to the thick stench of biosolids (treated sewage sludge) on the wind. The trucks had been driving past our cabin for days…While you may have never heard of biosolids the battle to stop it’s application on agricultural and public lands has been raging for many years…

We have much to be thankful to GOD for.

A Thankful Heart

By Jason Fowler on 11/28/2011

It is easy to forget the LORD’s goodness sometimes and I far too often find fault even in the good gifts GOD gives us – but what a transformation that can take place when we commit our hearts to the practice of gratitude…
