What if the answer isn’t escaping modern life, but learning to inhabit it differently?

In this season finale, Samantha reflects on her own attraction to the homestead ideal — and why she ultimately reconsidered what it means to live sustainably, faithfully, and attentively in the place God has already given her.

This episode marks the beginning of a summer pause for Brave New Us and an invitation to continue the conversation through gardening, stewardship, and cultivation on YouTube.

In this episode:

The appeal and limits of the homestead dream

Stewardship versus escape

Gardening as an embodied spiritual practice

An invitation to grow where you’re planted

Summer Update:
Brave New Us will return after a seasonal break. In the meantime, join Samantha on YouTube for garden stories, practical growing, and reflections on embodiment, limits, and care for creation.
