E149 | God Does Not React, He Responds
Legacy Farmer The Podcast
In this episode, I dive into the difference between reacting and responding. Often, when we react, it’s out of pure emotion—something triggers us, and we fire back without thinking, often leading to regrets and outcomes we don’t want. But God doesn’t react; He responds. Today, I’m breaking down how this principle applies in business, relationships, and life in general. By creating space and choosing to respond thoughtfully, we can make better decisions that align with our goals and values.

info_outlineIn our latest podcast episode, I share a personal story about my family's experience when our farm operation went under almost 20 years ago. Financial instability shook my grandad’s $10 million operation, and in the blink of an eye, everything he worked his entire life to build was gone. This tragedy is all too common, with many farms facing a similar fate every year.
We explore the emotional stages, starting with denial, where my grandad lived in denial about the impending collapse, protecting his ego rather than facing the hard truth. The reality hit when the bank cut him off, and the impact on my dad is something I’ll never forget. Tune in to hear about the challenges and emotional toll when a family farm goes under.
