S10 E3: Rethinking an Old-Fashioned Life with Rory Feek

- čas přidán 7. 08. 2022
- Rory Feek joins me today to talk about why we think our current generation is the most depressed one that's ever lived and how we can slowly go about opting out of the systems, even without a detailed plan. We talk about how we can, one step at a time, become more autonomous and independent, while simultaneously investing more in the community.

My 21 year old granddaughter exchanged her fancy cell phone for a flip phone . . deleted her facebook account . . . she's getting her creativity back. 🥰
I want to do that alsoooooooooooooooooooo...it takes courage
Interesting conversation. I would concur with most of these points. Blooming where you're planted is a phrase that comes to mind. I have spent 35 years working with heavy horses and doing things the hard way on the farm, making do, building and repairing my equipment. Currently rebuilding sleighs, keeping forgotten trades alive, and logging in the wintertime. I do text on my 10 year old phone, and have a youtube channel, but have never been on facebook, instagram, twitter or anything. My desktop computer is 10 years old and getting tired. No desire to upgrade, my only vehicle is a 26 year old 1 ton truck, also tired, no desire to upgrade, just keep fixing and nursing it along so I can run my little business. I live and farm entirely on rented land, do not own an acre of anything. My 320 sq ft tiny home is more than enough space for me. I have opted out of the ratrace and have no desire to rejoin frenetic society gone mad.
To answer the question, what did we do before GPS?
I think most of us did what you did of writing down directions before leaving & then, when the road doesn't make sense in real time, we pull out a map. I grew up with a map in my lap & was taught to pay attention. Where am i in relation to places & things? Where is the sun? Where is North etc..?
All good & useful skills. It feels good to use these skills. It gives independence.
GPS has its place, but not needing it & having alternatives/skills to get where you are going & home agai safely, is even better.
About 5 years ago I stoped watching TV, and set a rule for myself that all of the media I consume has to educate and inspire me. Both of you fill both of those needs for me, thank you for this chat and all that you do.
I love the title of your channel. As someone who loves vacuum tube electronics, revolvers and lever actions, carburators, and classical music it really works for me. ☺️
I firmly believe that the answer to 'why' we are so depressed and suicidal and feel such meaninglessness, is down to attachment. We are wired for attachment, and yet we live in a world, a culture, that promotes competition rather than connection. We pathologize dependency and glorify autonomy. We are far from our tribal space in which we knew 100 people intimately and felt so attuned with our people, our family, even our significant other. A study from the 80s showed that people had two to three very close friends. Now, people have ONE, and that's usually their spouse. And yet we also have an epidemic rate of betrayal, affairs, and divorce. So we are left with no one but ourselves, and we are meant to be happy. Women know all to well the propaganda of fourth wave feminism, "love yourself first," "You don't need a man", "Why do you want to raise your own children?", etc. We need one another to thrive, it is biology, not pop pseudo science. Our very hearts regulate when we are close to our people. Our nervous systems calm down and only in connection are we creative and whole.
Well said, I agree. I think how we have evolved as a society - we have gotten it all wrong.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️☀️🙏🏽✝️📖🌻
Yep
My wife introduced me to Joey and Rory, we love their music, and his great writings. My dog is named Joey Feek, in honor of her. Blessings to you and your houses.
... their music...
Their is possessive.
Their cat, their cat or their spoon. Needs an object, aka, a noun.
There is a geographic location. Park the car over there.
They're is a contraction of the two words they and are.
Their,
There,
They're.
4th-grade spelling words, lol.

Really, you had to waste your time on spelling.
I feel sorry for you.
Truly a great conversation with two remarkable people with the right idea on life. Thank you both for sharing with us.
Thank you, for the reminder of the simpler life....and taking us down memory lane. 🌿🕊🇺🇸♥️✝️🥰
I agree with you both so much! I grew up without all of this technology! Many days I get so stressed by the noise of my cell phone. The ringing and texting are such an invasion in my day! I feel pressured to be "polite" and to respond quickly. There are days when I long for the calm and quietness of my youth. I am sad for my children and grandchildren! They don't understand how much fun it was to sit on the porch with my grandmother and snap beans! To go to the neighbors, who were farmers and sit on their porch in the evenings and eat cold sliced cantaloupe until we could pop! Jill and Rory, I really appreciate yours videos! Thank you both for sharing your knowledge and lives with us. A fan in Tennessee.
Oh Jill ! What great company you keep. Absolutely hung on every word ♥️
Absolutely fantastic conversation. One of my favorite episodes of all time! And I’m one of those who listens to all your podcasts Jill. You really do share wisdom beyond your years and I’m grateful for your influence.
I love this. My husband and I were just talking about a survey that I had ran across asking if you could live in any time at the age that you are now, when would it be? 87% chose the 1980’s. Why the 80’s? My husband pointed out that it was before the internet. We escaped the city and moved to rural SE Louisiana. We struggled with being able to get internet for months. I wished that it wasn’t needed. I realized then that we’ve been forced into “needing” the internet and we don’t like it. Why must we “need” the internet? We’ve started our homestead. We pray by the Grace of God that it comes together just like Rory is speaking about. God Bless you both.
This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your hearts.
This is absolutely profound. I'm sharing it, hoping to reach someone, anyone, with the idea of going back to more "simpler" times.
What the world needs now AND Jesus! Thanks for the great down to earth discussion and challenge as well. Love homesteading and all it is, was and is to come! xo
Really enjoyed, really enjoy Rory as well. So much makes since. We are in such a fast pace life, kids addicted to TV. So correct that so many want to homestead but keep to themselves. Here? In our small town, when the bowling alley closed, the bars got super busy. It is so sad, the "family & friends8" is lost. Sunday family lunches are gone as well
So good! This all resonates with how I feel about the way life should be lived❤️It goes against the grain of present day society, which is self destructing. I pray more and more hearts wake up to a better way……
This has been a wonderful video, thought provoking, and refreshing.
I love Rory so much, have read his books and he’s one of my favs!! Wish he would put more content out, miss his vlogs and show. Great episode!!
I’ve loved all your podcasts Jill. But this season has been phenomenal. I will be listening to them again and again!
This was to so good! I hope and pray I can have a homestead one day.
This is a very good topic to think about. Get rid of unimpotant things that you dont benefit from.
Be still and know...
Thanks for this - it was worth my time. 😊
Old fashioned is less about the tools and equipment, and more about the mind set. Evidently big screen TV's and laptops can still fit into "old fashioned", when thought of and used properly.
Lol I was thinking the same thing.
They can be used wisely...TV's and computers are an amazing thing to allow modern homesteaders the ability to learn the skills most of us weren't taught growing up. But what I feel like he's focusing on here is the cell phone. The idea that we can carry around a TV & computer in our pockets 24/7 with instant access to easy mindless entertainment is a hard lure for [some] people to break away from. Even the "good information". I just went through this morning and unsubscribed from SEVERAL homesteading CZcams channels because I've found that as I subscribe to one here, and one there, they add up. Then I feel overwhelmed because I'm not able to watch all of the videos on my subscription page. This podcast was a great reminder (for me) to not let all the "noise" to get in the way so much.
Thanks! This was wonderful! Enjoyed this very much! God bless!
Listened twice I loved this so much!
Me too! I made sure to take notes the second time I listened.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and prompting my heart.
Great content! Thank you!❤️
Spiritual songs nurture the soul and therefore are NOT to be considered “entertainment.” Feeding the soul aligns one’s heart and mind with what is good, pure and kind therefore motivating an individual toward pouring positivity into their community. What is more to be valued?
THANKS FOR THIS! ❤️
Sharing resources, tools and your own personal property to be a blessing, intentional and exemplify the kind of community you wanto to create, maintain and inspire.
They want us to have everything and know everything.
Can I live on less?...
I dont need more...
I dont want to consume everything being advertised to...
Hello from Oregon. I am new to your channel. thanks for sharing
So good!!
Hello Kaylene 👋 how are you doing today?
Your community could put on plays for entertainment. Outside! Children would love dressing up and acting.
I don't think that our brains are made to have so much thrown at us. It's too fast. I had a no phone Sunday and I felt so much better on Monday. We use text to communicate so much, I had to tell those few who might need to reach me but they were delighted and encouraging.
Deleting my FB and IG accounts has been the best thing for my productivity and being present. No regrets!
Can you tell em how its going after u felted them?
I deactivated FB a long time ago. Twitter locked me out several years ago and I didn’t miss it. After Elon took over I requested to be reinstated and they unlocked me. I got back on…and deleted the app after 3 days. The site was still the same, but I wasn’t. I don’t need the extra drama. Nope. Not anymore.
thank you
Jill, If you educate your kids at home can you do some videos on that ?
Religion ?would that 4th ?We have been slowly opting out of the traditional religious systems my husband and I grew up in and served in as adults ...just not buying into the corporation ran feel of church anymore. Here in appalachia there are nastalgic little white churchs scattered about the country side ...and I have noticed when people speak of those old churchs and simple church services ...it transports them back to a happy place . I realized they appeal of old fashioned church is... they just came to church .worshipped. left . Very unlike modern church services where pastors are basicly CEO's ,managing worker bees that come to church and work work work in allll the classes and planning the next big event. At peoples core...they dont want all that in a church ...they get entertained all week ...they miss little old white churches because they where able to enjoy the simplicity .
I think this is SO true. I love my church . I love the people in my church. But there is a beauty in simplicity of just going to church to receive more of God's word and doing that with other believers. Then leaving... and during the week reading your Bible and educating yourself and your children and learning more of His word. Church has become exhausting in some circumstances which it never should be.
God is the answer you seek.
Indeed!
I miss my flip phone......had to switch 11/2021. :(
Hey…..I have ten acres and I don’t want to homestead alone EITHER!
" Repent is the START ....... "
Repent simply means ....... rethought , rethink

I loved him and Rory till I heard about his lesbian daughter's wedding held on his farm....
