Katie Allen, a regenerative farmer, maker and educator, who is creating healthy textiles, plant dyes and leathers and helping fashion students and others discover what soil health means for us, our food and our clothing. Katie Allen farms organically at Great Cotmarsh, in the UK. The farm produces lamb and beef in a 100% pastoral system and is implementing projects to improve soil health, increase biodiversity and embrace agroforestry. Under the brand ‘Katie Cotmarsh', she creates award-winning knitwear using the fleeces from the flock and cultivates colour by growing plant dyes. Katie has developed a beautiful classroom space on the farm, to connect the future generation of designers with the story behind soil and give them a new perspective of what true circularity looks like, particularly in the face of an ever shifting climate and demand for new cradle-to-cradle models for fashion design. Katie tells us how she was first inspired by the Fibershed movement, and what it means to create a local, regenerative clothing supply-chain.

In a world where kingdoms rise through power, influence, and spectacle, Jesus announces a Kingdom so upside‑down, so unexpected, it feels almost scandalous. Through the Parable of the Soils, He reveals that the Kingdom doesn't advance through force but through a simple seed. His Word falling into the hidden places of the human heart.This series invites us into that tension: a generous Sower scattering truth everywhere, soils that respond in dramatically different ways, and a Kingdom that grows quietly, subversively, and supernaturally. As we explore Matthew 13:1–23, we'll confront the barriers that choke out spiritual life, discover the conditions that allow faith to flourish, and witness the surprising power of God to transform even the most unlikely ground.

Welcome to the Saltbox Church Podcast. We desire to lead people to become fully surrendered disciples of Jesus.

In this powerful message from John 15, Dave Bigler explores what it truly means to abide in Christ and bear lasting fruit as believers. Building on his previous teaching about the Parable of the Soils in Matthew 13, Dave reminds us that the seed is God's Word, and our hearts represent the different types of soil. He emphasizes that genuine disciples are called to remain deeply connected to Jesus—the Vine—allowing Him to prune us so we can produce the fruit He desires. Through personal stories, practical insights, and direct Scripture, the teaching highlights the joy, purpose, and intimacy that come from abiding, while addressing common struggles that keep us from bearing fruit.Dave unpacks key truths: the necessity of staying rooted in God's Word through consistent Bible study, prayer, and community; the reality that hardship and pruning are part of God's loving process to make us more fruitful; and the freedom found in surrendering control, naming our emotions honestly, and trusting Christ's easy yoke. Whether you're feeling spiritually dry, overwhelmed by life's "weeds," or simply desiring deeper growth, this message encourages you to let go, abide in Jesus, and experience the fullness of joy He promises.Outline:0:00 – Introduction: Dave introduces himself as an elder, shares excitement about teaching, and briefly recaps his prior message on the Parable of the Soils (Matthew 13) – the seed is God's Word, with four soil types (path/rocky/thorny/good).0:30 – Quick review of the soils: Rocky (shallow faith scorched in trials), hard-packed/path (Satan snatches the word), thorny/weeds (cares of life choke fruit), good soil (produces fruit).1:40 – Transition to John 15: Response to a request for a follow-up on abiding; prayer to open.3:15 – Reading John 15:1-17 aloud.4:00 – Key verse breakdown begins: Jesus as the true vine, Father as the gardener (v.1).6:00 – Branches and fruit: God cuts off unfruitful branches, prunes fruitful ones for more fruit (v.2); already clean by the word (v.3).7:30 – Core command: Abide/remain in Jesus to bear fruit; apart from Him, nothing (v.4-5); purpose is much fruit for God's glory and to prove discipleship (v.8).9:00 – Joy in abiding: Jesus' joy in us, complete joy (v.11); love and obedience like friends, not servants (v.14-15).10:00 – Chosen and appointed to bear lasting fruit; love one another (v.16-17).12:00 – Illustrations: Grape vine analogy; God as gardener/sower/potter; we are branches/conduits, not the source of fruit (Holy Spirit produces it).15:00 – Common false sources of fulfillment: relationships, social media, retail therapy, possessions, entertainment/TV stats, etc. – these are modern "idols" that can't satisfy.20:00 – What is fruit? Character of the Spirit (Galatians 5), good works, sharing the gospel; not a salvation requirement but evidence.25:00 – Pruning process: God removes dead/unfruitful things (even good things that hinder); pruning hurts but increases fruit; trust God's role as gardener.30:00 – Abiding practically: Stay connected through Bible study (cleaned by the word), prayer, community; name emotions honestly in hard times to reduce tension.40:00 – Takeaways / Steps:Know your place: God is God, we are branches (surrender control).Abide in the true vine: Daily prayer, Bible intake, obedience.See challenges/hard things as opportunities/pruning for growth.50:00 – Conclusion: Struggle of self-reliance; abide means letting go and trusting; God's yoke is easy/light.55:00 – Closing prayer: Gratitude for abiding, pruning, joy; request for strength to follow commands; Amen.Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgJoin the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD

Sermon: Parable of the Four SoilsScripture: Matthew 13:1-23Speaker: Pastor Andrew Happ

In this episode of the Connect podcast, Cole Phillips kicks off a new season by discussing the importance of deepening one's faith through the lens of the parable of the soils from Matthew 13. He emphasizes that while many hear the word of God, the true measure of faith lies in how deeply it takes root in one's life. Cole reflects on the recent passing of Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, who shared his thoughts on faith and conversion in the face of terminal illness. Through Adams' story, Cole explores the difference between superficial belief and genuine faith, urging listeners to consider the depth of their own spiritual commitment.Cole gets into the concept of Pascal's Wager, discussing the rationality of believing in God versus the risks of disbelief. He contrasts this with the biblical example of the thief on the cross, who exemplified true faith through his humble acknowledgment of Jesus. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to examine their own faith, encouraging them to move beyond mere belief to a deeper, transformative relationship with Jesus.Keywordsfaith, parable of the soils, Scott Adams, Connect podcast, deep faith, transformation, Pascal's Wager, true belief, spiritual commitmentTakeawaysIt's not just about information; it's about application that leads to transformation.The difference between real faith and fake faith is based on fruit.You can't hedge your bets with faith; it requires full commitment.Sound bites"The difference between real faith and fake faith is based on fruit.""How can we not share that with the people around us?""Real faith isn't just believing; it's trusting enough to follow."Chapters00:00 Introduction to the New Season00:56 The Parable of the Soils06:09 Understanding True Faith vs. Fake Faith08:03 Scott Adams' Journey and Final Thoughts19:09 Pascal's Wager: Risk vs. Reward in Faith30:31 The Nature of Real Faith and Commitment

We continue to explore how stewardship relates to various aspects of our lives. This week, we look at the Parable of the Soils in Matthew 13 and what this can teach us about stewardship as hospitality. Hospitality is about opening ourselves up to others, and we do this through stewardship by allowing ourselves to be used by God to produce fruit and build the Kingdom of God. It isn't easy because we have to cultivate good soil to be used by God in that way. Join us for this journey today, and may we be good soil and used by God to do more than we could ever imagine.  Thank you again for joining us in worship.

A Recorded Sermon from Bro Brett Cottrell - January 18, 2026

Rusty Halvorson and Sarah Heinrich share some of the week's top stories in agriculture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we hear from Caleb Morgan, Ronnie Morris, and Gracie Wells as they consider evangelism through the paradigm of the Parable of the Sower.

This is a study that Dave Bigler gave at Adirondack Christian Fellowship. For more on ACF visit https://acfsaratoga.orgIn Matthew 13, the Parable of the Sower (or the Soils) is used to illustrate how the gospel is received by different people based on the condition of their hearts. The "seed" represents the word of God or the message of the kingdom. The "sower" is ultimately the Holy Spirit, though God often uses people to spread the word. This teaching breaks down four specific soil types: the hard path where the word is snatched away by the enemy, the rocky ground where faith lacks depth and withers under trial, the thorny soil where worldly worries and the deceitfulness of wealth choke out spiritual growth, and the good soil where the word is understood and produces an abundant crop.In this teaching Dave Bigler emphasizes that believers may find themselves transitioning between these soil types depending on their season of life. A central theme is the importance of maintaining "good soil" by trusting God as the ultimate gardener rather than relying on one's own efforts. This involves resisting the "weeds" of busyness and material security, which can lead to a lack of spiritual maturity. The lesson concludes with an encouragement to enter into God's rest and allow the Holy Spirit to transform the heart from the inside out, ensuring that the word remains fruitful rather than being choked out by life's distractions.

The Narrow Junior High Ministry

Pastor Luke teaches from Jesus' parable of the soils from Matthew 13:1–23 and challenges us with an invitation to truly hear and receive the transforming Word of God.

Studies such as that of McCance and Widdowson have revealed dramatic drops in fruit and vegetable mineral content since the 1940s. This week's guest on the HortWeek Podcast Jennifer Brodie believes that 'rock dust', a by-product of volcanic rock mined for road construction and rich in minerals trapped since the pre-dinosaur era, could help reverse this by remineralizing the soil and feeding microbes that will re-fortify plants.Brodie has come full circle in her career and is now returning to her passion project 12 years after she founded REMIN (Scotland), which pioneered the use of rock dust as a top dressing for soil, compost mixer and activator.Now leading the Pro-Grow rock dust division for resource management company Veolia, she explains the geology behind basalt rock dust, its dual benefits for plant health and carbon capture, and how the industry is shifting toward "ecological transformation".She details how some of the 400,000 tonnes of green waste they process annually is integrated with rock dust to create a PAS 100-certified compost for the garden retail market. Her goal now is to expand rock dust's use into the organic farming sector.Quoting Soil Association founder Lady Eve Balfour, Brodie says: "Everything begins to matter when the rate of soil erosion exceeds the rate at which life can invade the mineral rock underlying the soil and convert it into soil." Brodie believes that rock dust has an "unrecognised" role in rectifying the mistakes of the past and helping renew soils for the benefit of all.Make sure you never miss a HortWeek podcast!

Rising salt levels in soil and water are destroying farmland worldwide, with 16.6 million square kilometers now salt-affected — an area roughly the size of South America Saline agriculture offers a powerful solution by using salt-tolerant crops, smart irrigation, and natural soil restoration methods to turn degraded land back into productive farmland Research shows countries like China, India, Pakistan, Argentina, and the U.S. have millions of acres suitable for saline farming, which could help feed hundreds of millions of people without relying on scarce freshwater Techniques such as gypsum treatment, drip irrigation, and phytoremediation — using plants themselves to absorb and redistribute salt — is helping restore soil fertility and protect food supplies These same principles apply beyond farms; by managing salt, adding organic matter, and choosing resilient plants, even home gardeners can help revive soil health and contribute to global food resilience
