How do we preserve family, community, and truth in a culture that seems to be moving faster and faster away from them?
In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, I sat down with my friend Rory Groves for a thoughtful conversation about modern culture, technology, family economy, and what many families are sensing right now: that something important has been lost.
Using the republished book Henry and the Great Society as a starting point, we talked about how modernization changed family life, community, work, and even the way we think about self-sufficiency. We also discussed why history matters and how looking backward can help us move forward with more intentionality.
This conversation touches on:
- Family economy and durable living
- The tension between independence and community
- Why intentionality matters more than ever
- Building culture for future generations
- Encouragement for families trying to live differently in uncertain times
I really appreciated Rory’s perspective and his heart for helping families think deeply about what it means to build a life that lasts.
