I met Rory once My mother is In Her late 80s So we took one trip to barn to hear him sing & then after her stroke we took a trip to Branson I had to tell him that the school house really is a blessing to the elderly also my mother watches it and just loves his music He’s a very gentle soul

[@miraclefarm1927]

That interview was a blessing and Mr Feek's words were a real challenge to the Christian homesteader. Thank you for being so brave. Blessings

"I only want to go where God wants me to go...", Roy Feek. The best I received from this wonderful visit. Thank you.

I wish everybody could have a man like this and be loved the way he loves his wife..she was soo blessed even for a short time..I know she is smiling down and soo happy with the way he and Indy are doing…what a beautiful piece of heaven he has on that homestead..that’s my dream …manyblessings❤🙏

[@aprilburch6911]

Rory feels exactly how I feel about my husband. If he goes before I do I still feel like I am married and want to honor what God put together!

[@jeffparkinson5005]

The Holy Word of God instructs us that marriage ends at death........ we or no one else gets to change that.

[@jeepfvr]

​@@jeffparkinson5005 I agree. But there's a grieving process; some get over it quickly (a little too quickly, perhaps), and others take much longer. I can see the longer ones a testimony of just how much love was shared.

[@jan-johannes-bosman]

This reminds me of 30years ago when I met a man Jerry Bridges in a little African town KwaMhlanga. I bought his book The Persute of Holiness and my story unfolded. My wife today says that even my Cancer has not stopped me being obsessed with Jesus. I started a Urbsn Farm last year and its hard, but O, how we experience Gods grace. Love from South Africa.😇🤗🙏🇿🇦

[@spicyirwin5835]

Is it hard to farm during climate chg? Heard u r in a drought like Western USA. When children farm they eat those veggies alot more. Gardening feeds ur soul besides ur tummy! God Bless🙏✌️💜

Wow, this man and his family are truly living the dream. Great example of using financial resources for building something invaluable.

How many of us would love to have a man like Rory Feek in our lives, how beautiful it is to hear him speak about his beloved wife and to have celebrated their 20th anniversary. God bless him and his beautiful family. Beautiful interview. ❤

[@carolynessary2408]

Rory it’s so good to see you and I’ve been with you and Joey since the beginning ,saw you and Joey at the restaurant ,she was so sweet and waited on us and I was so excited to see her I forgot to get a picture with her and I wanted to cry but when we came back a few years later after Joey passed away well I meant I was going to get a picture of you Rory,well it was my sisters birthday and it was 5 sisters and my husband that drove us from Brownsville ,Tn so sweet of him but Rory I have a picture of all of us with you and I want to thank you ,my sister died of cancer in 2020 so the picture is special 🥰

[@inchrist1997]

The sweet spot was in the last five minutes. I have been searching for a new career for almost two months now with the goal of doing what God wants for me moving forward. Rory echoed the quote on my Bible bookmark, "Do what's right, not what's easy." It's time to be brave! Thank you for the reminder.

Beautiful 💞 I love how he says his wife, their wedding anniversary etc what he said, the love for his wife, child and family is a testimony to God ♥️

[@Shirl67]

Been following Joey and Rory's journey for a long time. The loss of Joey was heartbreaking but so heartwarming to see Rory continue their legacy of love and faith. I love what you said at the end of video, 'it's getting dark out there,so go out there and glow' Shining light into darkness is something we all need to remember to do. Thanks so much for sharing this video. ❤️

[@beblessed2022]

Just yesterday the song "light shine bright" from Toby mac came to mind and it reminded me of a song from church when i was 9, "this little light, I'm gonna let it shine" feels like your comment was confirmation from God that we need to be light to the darkness... thank you... God bless you!

To see the World through the eyes of child is so precious. Your daughter Indy is a blessing and no doubt she has helped you through rough times. You are a delightful man with a wonderful daughter. I totally agree that your wife is very present and always will be. Feel the same way.

What a wonderful interview. I have followed Rory and Joey. Indiana is such a little cutie - I always love seeing her pictures. I loved it when she sang with her dad.

[@avahaggerton5342]

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!!!!!! The sweetest, most profound video and message I've heard in a LONG time! Thank you both!

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Wow, thank you, Ava!

[@jeannemarcinek4575]

Wow, it has been a long time since I was listening to Rory Feek and his family. God took an angel home Rory's wife it was a very sad day. The day Indy saw what it takes to process a chicken and the expressions on her face. Or watching Rory watch Indy going to school on her own and Rory peeking on her so she would make it to school. Time has passed and Indy is now 8 years old and going to be in third grade. I would have been upset if they did not have goats, but when Rory said little goat was born that makes the farm. The garden should have all the vegetables, but some people may not have time and that is okay. Imagine stepping out the back porch watching the sunset or sunrise. The colors all around and hearing the birds sing their songs for us to hear. Having the warm breeze wisp past our face and some may drift off as they close their eyes and think about the past. Simplicity at its best and so far, away. Watching Rory being interviewed reminded what is important, growing roses and the fragrance of each one. Being able to cut and give to someone to brighten their day. Or having to taste the first home grown tomato so juicy and awesome. Homesteading can mean many things to many different people, never heard to do something hard. That is something to think about and do, so Rory is getting the message out there about do for others as God wants us to, but for many there is too much negative and fear. Blessings to all.

[@donnakearse2503]

Such a great man. You can tell he is at peace in his life. Seems very spiritual. I have always loved his storytelling. He voice is so calming.

I’ve always loved watching his videos on his farm… I think he had an amazing vision but Joey really is the one that really pushed the amazing transformation of that property… it’s like god sent her to him to make a good life for Indy… and what an amazing man to build a school on his property and have other kids come in that will be life long friends with her… I think Joey knew Rory would need this Homestead to raise Indy… what a beautiful life she will have.

[@valeriehobart9491]

So beautiful! I pray if I pass first, my husband would take my passion and find joy in it and the beauty… and allow it to bring our family closer together. What a testimony.

[@TinaGolik]

Hearing him explain about family working together, each having, and knowing their part..working as a team on a Farm. The younger learning from the older, and being part of something bigger is what so many of us are striving for as well. Anyone who is a true homesteader knows this, and works for it. God being the binding tie holding it all together...Thank you for sharing this wonderful interview..It is, as always, very inspiring.

Wow! Living THE dream! My dream. How exciting and amazing! I applaud this so big. Almost makes me cry... I love his explanation about sacrificing this world on the altar, basically, and live intentionally to follow a dream that's ours even if we aren't the one holding the blueprint and engineering it. This helps me relax inside and strengthens my resolve to partnership with God...and let Him do what I can't. 🙏 Thank you, Rory & Joey. I'd never heard of Rory Feek before today...what a real story.

What a beautiful interviewer, her smile so bright and her interest and joy while interviewing Mr. Feek. Her spirituality was so refreshing, we are in need of the love of Jesus Christ and of those will share their trust in Him. Mr. Feek is this same type of person. Indie is a fortunate little girl to have her schooling in the Little One Room Schoolhouse. A place to learn in peace and joy. The school system in general now days is not a healthy place to learn, like teachers being forced to teach things little children or older don't need to have in their minds. Mrs. Feek while watching over her family is so proud of her dear precious husband. I enjoy hearing everything about the Feels, they speak my language of what the good life is. And!!!my favorite song to listen to is "What If,". I listen to it everyday morning and night for an innocent mind relaxer. Thank you God, for these "Real People."
