Ep. 34 From Spoon-fed to Do-It-Yourself (Faith + Health) w/ Rain Country Homestead's Heidi Oberfranc

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Thank you again Luke and Kayte for this opportunity to share my testimony. I truly enjoyed it. I also am sorry for my constant rabbit trailing and getting off topic, I get so excited and have so much I want to share, it could take many more hours for me to go over it all! haha

[@kaykayrn1747]

Woman...lol...I am 1/2 way through the video & am loving it! Similar story to yours & 2020 I came to Truth too by means of Pastor Joe Fox, Bear Independent, 119 ministries, New2Torah, Almond House, Monte Judah, etc. I live alone & family/friends think I'm nuts, but my son is FINALLY reading the Bible & rethinking things...both of us get humbled on the word "Forever" (out of the mouth of God). Anyway, love your testimony 😊

[@loribehnke7571]

I thought it was amazing, I've been reading the Cepher for a year now, and searching for the truth. I was Catholic, then started watching truthunedited on utube. So many questions, I went to every church except Catholic when I was young searching and now at 59 finally feeling like I'm opening up enough to let God talk to me. 🙏🙏🙏

[@TheLife_Podcast]

It was our pleasure!! Thank you for being on the show. :)

[@BaruchHaShem777]

I came to Torah in 2020. I’m alone in my search for truth as my husband is a PK and he refuses to even entertain the idea that his father and mother got it wrong. I tell him that doesn’t matter. They’re still Saved. Anyways, I have listened to Heidi for several years and imagine my surprise when I heard her talk about this topic. 😀 Like Heidi, I have been reading my Bible through for the past 3 years and it has truly been a revolutionary experience. In the past I could never could get past Leviticus, but now it’s all so exciting! Like with everything I find out I’ve been lied to about, I wish I had learned this years ago so my children would know it!

[@davelyn786]

I’ve prayed for you and your husband to be united. For husbands and wives all over to be one in the truth. My husband and I are in the same boat. Please pray that we will celebrate the feasts this year as a family. I hope that you are able to as well

This is the first time I’ve heard of Heidi, but I agree with her. I came to Torah in late 2019. I’ve read the Bible through with Christy Jordan : seeking scripture since 2020. My husband does not accept Torah and it has been hard. I have also made it hard on myself by not being humble and walking in loving kindness. I want to follow Heidi, I would like to buy some of her products if for sale.

[@davelyn786]

@@charlotteshrum3934 girl I have been there. This may be the reason he has not seen this truth for all these years. There is a nice lady on KZbin who talks about submission and respect as wives. She says our first priority is to God then our husbands. Respectfully of course. Her channel is called “it’s God’s plan” I’m trying to learn from her and praying continually that God will open his eyes and heart to see the wondrous things in his law. Blessings to you.

[@roberthart897]

(Rob's wife Donna) Heidi, it has been so exciting to watch you grow and come to this understanding. I remember when I first started watching your channel a couple of years ago, I began praying for you. I could tell the father was dealing with you. I was in tears when you did your testimony video recently, and I'm so thankful to see you use your channel to spread the Truth. You did such a great job of lovingly explaining this walk. 😊 Praise Yah!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Thank you so much for your love and your prayers!

[@soniawillats4358]

I enjoyed. We're on the 👣👣👣 of: *simple living, * I homeschooled my grandchildren the first 7 years of schooling * We're trying to avoid pharma meds... I was so glad to find Heidi's advice 're thyroid, as our naturopath advised that it's too late to come off it. I'm not giving up that quickly ;-) I found Yeshua / Jesus the other way round. I went to Israel to find a different way of life (more communal, and away from Apartheid South Africa.) I searched for G♡D, and the right rabbi, for some years. A friend told me that I might go all the way there and become a Christian, but I assured her that would never happen. From time to time I'd bump into an ultra-orthodox friend in Jerusalem. He'd ask me whether I'd converted yet, and It answer, honestly, rhat I hadn't found the right rabbi... How surprised I was when I came to believe that Yeshua is Messiah! Suddenly the whole Torah / Tn"ch and New Testament made so much sense. We love Shabbat.. Yes, the feast days are significant .. etc.

Praise Yah!! 10 mins into this video thinking that Heidi's voice is familiar and so isn't her face but I don't know where I have heard or seen her and just now it came to me after reading a couple of comments. I listened to several of her videos on fermentation last year and ironically I got up early to start my schedule which includes fermenting some vegetables. Now I remember how she begins her video saying "God is good all the time". This is such good news on early Friday morning, hours before Shabbat. Halleluyah!

I’m thankful Heidi mentioned this interview on her recent podcast, and I was able to hear her testimony again and her wisdom in pulling away from the medicine and going natural. Heidi you are such a blessing and I thank you Luke for interviewing her.

[@1rachp]

Such a great interview. I was already a hardcore believer in Jesus, neck deep in service at a spiritually dead church when covid hit. I was desperately praying for truth. I had already been led to study the OT when I began searching up preparedness. The content producers I found, Bear Independent & Viking Preparedness, were Torah observant and my world was rocked. I had found the truth. Like Heidi, I didn't want to be deceived again. I've been studying ever since and know for sure we are to keep Torah and it is such a blessing.

Mrs. Heidi is one of my favorite content creators! She reminds me of my grandparents and their beliefs, their perseverance and tenacity. My own parents didn't practice any real religion or belief system while we were growing up and she dissed every single one especially if us kids enjoyed or wanted to join. Yet, I have had such a yearning for quite a while; it's been so deep and no one in the whole family to support me in my journey and research. Heidi just feels like family, a sister, a Mom, a confidant, a teacher and so much more! Thank you for having her on. She's so informative.

Thank you, Luke, for interviewing one of my favorite You Tubers. I've learned so much from Heidi, and I appreciate her absolute honesty about everything, including her ever changing walk in faith. I've seen several Homesteaders observing Torah now, and it has really piqued my interest. I will be checking out more of your Channel now.

Another SheBrew interview!📖 ☕️ This one has been so relatable and insightful. Abba draws and deals with each one of us in a special way! I have been in this walk for over thirty-five years. Initinially in the WCG. There has been so much to discard and much to hold on to. Heidi and her husband have had all the ups and downs, the doubts, and questions ppl often have and dived into the Word together. Laying a strong foundation based on HIS instructions is vital. I will commit her beloved sons in prayer to our Father 💙💙 'God is good all the time' 👍

[@CRRBennett]

Yay! So glad to see this. Heidi mentioned an interview. 😊 I have been on this journey and seeking for almost 2years. Got scared off and again recently for a moment by not wanting to be deceived especially with good ol Yt algorithms suggesting videos against Torah or the dangers. You aren't saved... etc. I finathrew my hands up and asked my Father. As SO MANY have said.... seek Him. Ask Him. Read the Bible for yourself. I do not believe He would draw you to His Ways to deceive you. I also 100% know by salvation is through Christ's blood. Death and resurrection. ❤ Not only the spiritual things but all the health things as well. I think I first discovered her channel looking up some health things. Then saw her video regarding Christmas and well.... I e been watching a long time. Thanks

[@JSGenesisDesigns]

Amazing how your story is so much like all the others, come out of her My people is a thing. ive seen your story unfold in a way over a couple years, eating clean was even a topic we discussed in your comments on one of your videos back then to mention an example, and its so awesome to see your transformation from then to now. proud of you to be out there professing your faith like you do. keep seeking and learning like we all are. Praise Yah.

Thank you!

"they are making merchandise of you" absolutely true, Heidi. Admire you for seeing that in this day and age.

[@gutygortega]

Oh so excited to see Heidi!! She has been one of the beautiful souls I’ve been listening to for a long time. Yah had been tugging at me for a few years about SABBATH. I got out of new age practices and became a Christian. I went to my pastor before I got baptized and questioned him about the sabbath and it being in the commandments. He gave me this explanation that I was not totally convinced and I still believed we needed to follow these laws. I like Heidi am worried about my husband not coming along. I’m praying Yah gives me the strength to just say it and tell him my thoughts and my struggles. I need prayers for strength and that my husband and hopefully my daughter who is not a true believer come along with learning the truth.🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Remember to live the example and not try to preach at him, and of course continuing to pray, as we all should for you and your husband.

Thank you for this series. My husband and I had one of those moments a few years ago. We were both being drawn to the Torah, separately but at the same time. We had not been to church in years due to our disappointment with it. One day we were driving home and I broached the subject and my husband was surprised because he was having the same experience. We subsequently found a congregation and a torah club that we meet with. Our lives have changed, very much so for the better. I love hearing others testimonies and feel like we are a part of a larger group. I bought your CD and your book. LOVE them both. Thank you again.

Comfrey salve is also helpful with broken bones if a soak is tough for you. My dental implants healed in half the time as expected just rubbing some comfrey salve on my jawline. Used it when I broke my foot and that helped there as well although I don't have after the fact xrays to prove it like I did with the implants.

Completely unrelated to the content of this video, seeing your camera on the tripod and just inside the door behind you is giving me flashbacks.

Study it out Sheila. No one benefits more from personal study than yourself...then you become convicted and receive your answers. Yes, we listen to others, as iron sharpens iron, but never doubt that the spirit will guide you to the truth. What about the feasts is confusing you? In 2021, the spirit had me studying the feasts and the calendar. I had no idea why Iwas studying them. I didn't know we were supposed to observe/celebrate them. As I studied the calendar I quickly learned that the calendar the modern jews and messianics follow is not the same as how the bible orders a calendar. I knew I had to find the truth about it, as soon as I realized the feasts were for me to do. I wanted to show up at the right time. The timing of the feasts is probably the most divisive topic in torah keeping. I judge no one for what calendar they follow, but I urge everyone to test all of the calendars and study, study, study. studythecalendar dot com guides us through this study, and I agree with the conclusions they have come to. In addition,their very lengthy, thorough moon study is an example of how to do a study on any topic, so I recommend that particular study for everyone. Covenant Calendar Classroom channel is where you can find their studies. There is a playlist for the moon study, as well as all other calendar topics that need to be studied...when does a day begin, when does a year begin,when does the month begin. How long is a month? All of these questions need to be answered in a calendar study.

Life is busy and I'm not good at self care, but the gift of the sabbath allows me to slow down and I like togo outside barefoot soI sm at least grounding once a week. Its difficult where I live because we farm every inch of our 3 acres and there are animal droppings everywhere, which I don't like being barefoot in😊. I'm actually going toset aside a section in my fenced in garden area just for grounding. Somewhere that animals haven't been. I have to create it since I actually have goats in there right now.

“Simon has just explained how God first showed his care for the Gentiles by taking from among them a people to belong to him. The words of the prophets agree completely with this. As the scripture says, ‘After this I will return, says the Lord, and restore the kingdom of David. I will rebuild its ruins and make it strong again. And so all the rest of the human race will come to me, all the Gentiles whom I have called to be my own. So says the Lord, who made this known long ago.’ “It is my opinion,” James went on, “that we should not trouble the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead, we should write a letter telling them not to eat any food that is ritually unclean because it has been offered to idols; to keep themselves from sexual immorality; and not to eat any animal that has been strangled, or any blood. For the Law of Moses has been read for a very long time in the synagogues every Sabbath, and his words are preached in every town.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭15‬:‭14‬-‭21‬ ‭

[@aliasgirl9]

There is something called “replacement theology” and it is deep within the modern church - sometimes overtly and sometimes covertly. And then there are some that just don’t know they are doing it bc it’s now a passed down and taught doctrine. Seminary, as referred to by some who have been there, is often the death of real relationship with Jesus and Holy Spirit in favour for book knowledge. So “coming to Torah” means that people are reading the Bible for themselves, in context and letting the Bible interpret the Bible. A lot of Christians are confused bc Paul and the epistles are so contradictive to other scripture. However, when OT is used as the foundation and definition of terms, things start making sense and lining up.

[@Emet-Debar]

Thank you for this Luke and Heidi! I have question please. Heidi inserted about her friend pointing out that the Jews only represent Judah! Yes we do know that it is written that our Messiah would come from his line. But is there more meant here? Is there somewhere that I can understand you alls views on the Jewish people of today, the modern state of Israel and the Jews making Aliyah?

[@PalmettoParatrooper]

I wear short tassels too. 3 or 4 inches tops. I immediately judge people for having 18" tassels. It looks like praying to be seen praying to me.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

18" is way too long for me but I wear mine long enough to be seen from under my flannels, as I do like to wear those rather large and they hang down a ways. I would not judge anyone based on how short or long their tassels are

[@OkTxSheepLady]

I saw a little boy about 5 or 6 happily swinging in half circle steps to make his long zitzitot swing out on either side. Wear them the length that gives you joy!

[@Ranched-lp3nr]

I've really been struggling with this concept. I believe that they probably made the fabric they made their garments out of frayed at the edges, and then used a blue string sewn in horizontally to stop further fraying. The Hebrew doesn't say they put them on the 4 corners of their garments, but it says along the edges. I picture 1920s flapper dresses with their fringes, western culture clothing fringes, wven native American clothing. I sure wish we could know for sure. I see the modern tassles as an invention of modern, talmudic Jews, and my spirit bristles at them. I'm praying for clarity on it. I don't see why anyone would make them super long, when Yahusha rebuked the leaders of the day for making them long. But I judge no one. We are all trying our best to rightly divide the word and live in obedience.

[@CajunBoudreaux]

If there is no mention of length in the BIBLE, why would it matter. God knows their heart and if isn’t for the right reason - it is in GOD’S HANDS. 💕

[@Ranched-lp3nr]

@@CajunBoudreaux I agree. The instructions for making them don't include length,but Yahusha accused the pharisees of "enlarging the borders of their garments" to be seen by men. Its a heart issue. As for what I said about the 4 corners, I dug deeper today and found the verse that does say 4 corners or edges. I had read Numbers 15:37-40, which doesn't say 4 corners, but Deuteronomy 22:12 does have the word for the number four in it. I still don't know if they only had 4 altogether though. Much to learn. Praying for the wisdom to understand it.

[@missdebbie6791]

Something I actually find fascinating is that on this walk I hear so many speak on looking to "scripture" for answers and truth, yet keep a Saturday Sabbath which cannot be found anywhere in scripture. Why stop looking for the truth when it comes to the Sabbath?

@@missdebbie6791 Regardless of what you believe, we can make poor judgements of each other who are doing their best to follow HIS word. Some of the most heated arguments come about in regards to names and calendars and THIS was one of the several hypocritical actions I saw from people on this path that caused me to keep it all at arms length. Instead of publicly passing judgement on each other for doing their best to read and follow what it says, if we truly love each other and want to set the right example to the other believers and the rest of the world, these discussions should be done in love and one on one. Not openly accusing others of being "wrong" according to their own opinions.

[@missdebbie6791]

@@RainCountryHomestead Nothing said was meant to be hurtful to anyone. It was mentioned a number of times in the video.
