<p>The homesteading movement is awakening something deeper than a desire for fresh food or self-sufficiency.  In this episode, I sit down with Lucas Mack of Kubota to talk about the spiritual pull drawing people back to the land and back to God.  We explore how working with soil, seed, and stewardship quiets the noise and brings clarity about truth, responsibility, and purpose.  This conversation is a reminder that homesteading is not just a health and lifestyle choice.  It is a return to order, meaning, and building a life according to God’s design.</p><p>In this episode, we cover:</p><p>- The surprising ways that Kubota’s mission and heart extends far beyond tractors</p><p>- How Kubota supports food production, clean water, and land stewardship around the world</p><p>- Lucas’s early wake-up call about food security after seeing firsthand how fragile grocery supply chains can be</p><p>- How small steps like gardening, foraging, and growing food begin to shift mindset and priorities</p><p>- How returning to the land naturally leads people to deeper questions about truth, responsibility, and faith</p><p>- Why working with the land forces honesty— things either grow or they don’t, and the reasons matter</p><p>- Why modern systems distract us from these questions, while homesteading brings clarity and purpose</p><p>- The strong biblical connection between land, stewardship, seed, and human responsibility</p><p>- The difference between dirt and living soil, and why healthy soil is central to real regeneration</p><p>- A hopeful vision for rebuilding local food systems and stronger communities</p><p>- Encouragement to choose life, cultivate hope, and build where God has planted you</p><p><em></em><a href="https://homesteadersofamerica.com/e55-homesteading-a-calling-beyond-food-lucas-mack-of-kubota/"><em><strong>View full show notes and transcript on the blog</strong></em></a><em><strong> + </strong></em><a href="https://youtu.be/vyW6tGbHEa0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em><strong>watch this episode on YouTube</strong></em></a><em><strong>.</strong></em></p><p><strong>Thank you to our sponsors!</strong></p><p><a href="http://mcmurrayhatchery.com"><u>McMurrayHatchery.com</u></a> | A wide selection of poultry breeds and supplies to assist you with raising your flock</p><p><a href="http://nutrimill.com"><u>Nutrimill.com</u></a> | High-quality small kitchen appliance products that function well, are easy to use, and promote healthy eating</p><p><strong>RESOURCES MENTIONED</strong></p><p>Visit <a href="https://www.kubotausa.com/construction-equipment?utm_source=google&utm_campaign=T1_CE&utm_medium=ppc&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23480598687&gbraid=0AAAAACZuRboygG78R3OsNGHw1i_JfSTo-&gclid=Cj0KCQiAy6vMBhDCARIsAK8rOgkG_EU2X7Nk_dQMz2J9XVwVrwSFPEvWsXcErGPSlTSh-LKRIBUVGtMaAtLDEALw_wcB"><u>Kubota’s website</u></a></p><p>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kubotausa/"><u>Kubota’s instagram</u></a></p><p><strong>CONNECT</strong></p><p>Lucas Mack of Kubota | <a href="https://www.lucasmack.com/"><u>Website</u></a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lucasjamesmack/"><u>Instagram</u></a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lucasmack/"><u>Facebook</u></a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/lucasmack"><u>YouTube</u></a> | <a href="https://x.com/LucasJamesMack"><u>X</u></a></p><p>Homesteaders of America | <a href="https://homesteadersofamerica.com"><u>Website</u></a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/homesteadersofamerica/"><u>Instagram</u></a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/homesteadersofamerica"><u>Facebook</u></a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/homesteadersofamerica"><u>YouTube</u></a> | <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/homesteadersusa/"><u>Pinterest</u></a><br></p>
