Did you know that in the beginning, humanity’s first home was a garden?
It’s
true! God originally intended people to be in nature and to enjoy the
incredible creative works of His hands. Working in the out of doors can
reduce your stress and help you take in the life-giving properties of
sunshine, fresh air, and exercise. It can even give you peace and draw
you closer to the Creator in a way a city never could.
Country
Living is a brand-new video presentation by Pastor Doug Batchelor that
not only highlights the benefits of living in the country, but shows
from his own experience how to live away from the cities in a winsome
yet practical way.
Pastor Doug says, “While we must not forget to
reach the people in the cities, we shouldn’t forget the blessings of
living and working in nature, so in response to countless requests over
the years, we produced this video for our friends who are interested in
getting back to nature, and to experience God’s Edenic ideal for us.”
During
the presentation, you’ll enjoy Pastor Doug telling stories of the some
of the challenges he faced with wildlife and weather. Watch stunningly
beautiful footage of the mountains, forest, and streams. See how he uses
a Pelton wheel as a water turbine for creating electrical power. Take a
peek at his power room for storing electricity and see how he draws in
fresh air to his woodstove.
Filmed on location from in and around
his country home, Pastor Doug walks you through his property’s natural
beauty and shares his personal journey of building a home in the
country, all while drawing spiritual parallels that will inspire you to
live off the grid in God’s breathtaking creation.
