Hey ya'll, I'm Jess from Roots & Refuge Farm
Welcome to a place that feels like home. A small farm with a big family. We hope you'll pull up a chair, grab some coffee and visit awhile.
There was a time that all I wanted in the world was a little farm where I could raise my family and grow our food. Now, that is exactly what exists outside my door. In watching it unfold, a new dream was formed in my heart - to share this beautiful life with others and teach them the lessons we've learned along the way. Welcome to our journey, friend. I am so glad you're here.

Bless you Jess!! I am 75 years old and have been church hurt. Never in my life have I heard a sermon that was as amazing as what the Spirit has led you to say. My husband, who has been a Pastor/Elder, just said this was one of the best sermons he has every heard in his life! Thank you!! God bless and keep you and yours.....

[@nevermind7253]

YES AMEN 💞

[@brg2743]

Use whatever you are good at doing. God uses that. Also, we were ganged up on by a few church narcissists, neighbors, family, and coworkers. Looking back, it was good that we moved on. There are good people out there that don't act stupid.

Ms. Linda, I know of the pain you speak too. And I am sooo grateful that much like Jess, I never associated it to my relationship with God. I'm sorry you were hurt, many in the church have been. The church is one of places being shaken, it too will be cleaned up. Much love, sister.

[@thegardenofblessings7472]

I find value in the limited number of devotional videos that you post. Not in a matter of not wanting to hear God speak thru you. But more in a view of concentration and value. Have you ever had an elder of your family that didnt say a whole lot, but when they spoke, it was of pure and concetrated in value and all around would listen? Speak when your spirit is stirred to do so. 🥰 Thank you for being pure and honest always.

Oh, woman of God! I Am so excited to be living in these times! I am 62 years old and love to meeting others that Worship our God, Yeshua, with Passion. Tho raised in a Christian home with Ministers for parents, I hit the rode at 17 to find out what was in the world, that I had been so sheltered from. On Sunday, December 7, 1986, at a small church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I ran to the alter and gave what was left of me to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He so lovingly took my fragile and very broken life and during all these years since that day, He is making something so beautiful of my life in Him. He went into the potters garbage heap, and took what was broken and impossible with man, and made me into a usable vessel in His Kingdom! Thank you for sharing this Word from the Lord with us. God Bless You!

[@hjill76]

Your words touched me in such a visceral level. God has shown me the approaching storm in a dream. It was powerful and mighty, but my family was safe. Those corrupting our world and reveling in evil were not. God has led my husband and me to put in our first garden, get chickens, cut wood, can food, and much more. We had to dip into savings to purchase a lot of what was needed. One day recently, I was fretting over my savings account being smaller, and He whispered, “I AM your savings account.” He speaks to us all the time. We just have to talk and listen and find our rhythm with Him. He truly is a LIVING God.

[@kimberlymurphy6003]

And all Gods people said “Amen!” 👏🏻 Jess, thank you for obeying the Lord and being His mouth piece. I could feel the Holy Spirit with me in my kitchen as I listened to you talk and pray.

Thank you, Jesus, for using Jess and for giving her the strength to be so vulnerable and obedient to Your leading. I’ve strayed from my trust in You, and maybe I’ve never surrendered to the fullness of that trust. I thank you, Father, for speaking to me tonight. You always know exactly what we need even if we don’t. I needed to hear Your words in this way. I NEEDED that moment when Jess was led to lean close and tell us her face was right there. In that moment, Father, I heard You speaking to me, I FELT it. And I needed it. I’m coming Home. I’m scared, I’m tired , I’m broken, and I’ve had a horrible attitude in my heart and spirit. But I’m coming Home. I’ve known for so long that I couldn’t do this thing called life without You, I just didn’t know how to come back. Now I realize I didn’t have to know how. I just needed to tell you I’m coming. You’ll show me how. I love You, Jesus. And I miss You.

Jess, I've listened to this again and again. You say something very prophetic that I don't think you even realize you are saying. Everytime you mention the leaves are green... this parable comes to my mind. “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near-at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away." Matthew 24:32-35 ❤

He is delivering his message through you, He has moved in you to something so fiercely real that I heard every word in my heart. Your love for humanity is evident God has used you to spread the word. Yes, I have felt this storm coming as well and I have witnessed the change in your own delivery of being prepared and finally God has brought you to deliver this message. The storm will be hard, we are most definitely living through one of the most monumental times in history and we will bare witness to that as we come out the other side victorious walking with God. I hear you. You moved me. And I am blessed by it.

Yesterday was the first time of hearing about you. My mother watches your videos and made me sit down before going to work to watch you. I was about to miss everything you shared here, thinking of excuses why I had to hurry off to get to work/ telling my mom that I could listen to it on the way there. I am so grateful that I took that time in her living room to focus and listen to what you said. Something that stuck out to me was your mention that God will not let anything “block” his love flowing to me (may not have been your exact words, but close I think😉). I block his love from me, though. So I prayed about it. While watching your video I had left my phone in my car and it got overheated and had to cool down so I couldn’t use it immediately. I cooled it off with my air conditioner and when it finally came back on “coincidentally” my bible app came up automatically and the verse/direct words from God that I had been needing to hear was right there in front of me. Isaiah 41:13. Thank you for this video as it resonates with me in a divine manner. I am so grateful for you. Sorry about the novel I just wrote but yesterday something changed and it was powerful and you were part of it so I had to share it with you. ❤️

How can someone you’ve never met change the trajectory of your life, of your soul? Jess, I want to thank you. Thank you for being bold. Thank you for being brave. Thank you for being a messenger. Thank you for being a beacon of light and hope in a time of darkness. Thank you for planting a seed of hope and love in the hearts of so many. I have been following you for a few years now. During that time, you have instilled a passion for gardening and the belief that despite others’ lack of confidence and opposition, I could actually grow food for my family. It has been a slow journey - from buying your first book, to ordering seed catalogs and over $100 work of seeds, to planting them and watching as my lack of experience and weather conditions beyond my control killed every single one of my little plants in my first garden, to going back to the drawing board and starting again. Your sweet, gentle, poetic vlogs have given me hope even when I was buried in a hole of grief, trauma, and pain. Like many others in recent years, I’ve felt lost. I gave my soul to Christ as a teen and He saved me from following through on ending my life during one of the darkest seasons of my life. I had so much fire! All I wanted or cared about was learning and sharing the Word. The truth. I felt His presence but I have stumbled, tripped, and taken what I thought would be shortcuts in my life’s journey. I lost focus and sight of Him. In recent years I barely remember the peace and hope I once had. I’ve wandered so far away from God, I was unsure if I’d ever make it back... or that He would even want me back, for that matter. I’ve been in the world so long that I’ve become confused, and disoriented - not knowing truth from evil lies. Once again, I found myself so overwhelmed with anxiety, hopelessness, and now a new and unfamiliar dislike for the human race. I hate what we’ve done to our planet, soil, bodies, and souls. I hate that people are so rude, cruel, and selfish. I know that is a strong word but it is truly how I’ve felt… until today. I asked God for a sign. I asked Him to please let me know that I’m not foolish for turning to Him (because the world has tried to convince me that even if there was a God, why would he care about me?) Your devotional this morning confirmed that for me. I felt like you were speaking directly to me. You have a beautiful way of connecting with us. I cried! I prayed! I rejoiced! Thank you for being vulnerable and obedient to the Lord, Jess. I heard what I needed to hear! The prodigal son is a special story for me. I have been so foolish thinking I could live in this world without relying on our Father. I have so much shame. How could someone who had such a strong connection with God at one-time wonder so far off track? I’ve been so lost and hopeless! I know God has great things planned for my life, otherwise, the Devil wouldn’t constantly repeat these lies. You have graciously given me hope for our future, for our children’s future, and the ability to forgive myself for my constant failures. We may never meet face to face but just know you have been a friend when I had no one. Thank you, Jess. I bless you!!! Leah

[@joycerichardson4518]

Such an incredible devotional, it gave me goosebumps! Thank you for doing this. I'm 71 & am still suffering the "church hurt" from my childhood upbringing. "Hellfire and damnation" was shoved down my throat 3 times a week, to the point that attending church was the most depressing thing in my life between the ages of 8 and 21. At 21 I moved out on my own & experienced a life without guilt being pounded into me every time I turned around. At church God's love was so seldom mentioned and the idea that it was "unconditional" never even suggested, that I honestly thought God hated me. My idea of God's personality and attitude was so tainted by my own father's personality, that I believed He was as quick-tempered and ready to exert His vengeful wrath at any opportunity. But I somehow managed to continue to believe in his existence and that Jesus is real. You allowed me to glimpse the real and loving God/Father I wish l had known and needed so many years ago. I look forward to knowing Him much better. Thank you so very much! And thank you God for Jess!!

[@hannahsmith5651]

Thank you Jess….I’ve been having a conversation with my niece who is in her early 20s, I have been praying for her for a long time to come back to Jesus. Just last night I said to her. We are here when you are ready to come “home”, referencing the prodigal son. So much of what you said speaks to me about her. She said, it’s been so long since I have heard God. I know I am in darkness. She is a single mom, veteran, cancer survivor and I just want her to come home . Please pray for her with me. Her name is Melissa.

Please prepare her heart to Hear You speak. Plow that hard baked ground. Make it soft and pliable. Open her eyes to Your truth, love, righteousness and peace. Bind the spirits of loss, abandonment, rage, hate, doubt, and hopelessness. Remove Melissa's heart of stone and replace it with Your heart of flesh. Set her apart for Your glory and for Your kingdom!

When I was 17 my father died and my mom decided to move us from Wisconsin to California. I went to my church and told the pastor that I would miss his services but we were moving and I wouldn’t be able to attend any more. We made it a long trip out to San Diego, California visiting the states and relatives on the way. It took us 2 months to get to our home. About a month later I received a letter from my church telling me I had been excommunicated due to not showing up for services. I was crushed. I never did find another church that fit my needs nor did I take my kids to church which was entirely my fault. I left it to them to find their way to God. I still haven’t been as religious as I should be. I listened to my father cuss due to being paralyzed from the waist down. I learned probably every bad word I could. I still cuss terribly but love God in my own way. Wish I could be as close as I once was but that letter really crushed my spirit. Thank you for this devotional. You make me think about so much. I bless you for being there for all of us who need your words of wisdom at your young age. Love your interaction with your family. God Bless You !!! ❤️

@Lisa Remington - I think the toughest thing for me has been GOD showing me what's to come and no one wanting to hear it, or being so convinced that they won't have to endure it that they don't listen.

It was huge for me to hear him say those things. I wanted you to know this and be encouraged. The honesty is, I love you back. It just felt too silly to maybe tell you that.

I needed to hear this. I've been feeling the same things for several years now and having dreams that keep me up at night. Dreams that demands and people are coming against my children and I'm standing alone to defend them. I go outside and feel whirlwinds when the wind isn't blowing. It all settled down for me when I expanded my garden in 2020. Gave me a break and some peace. Now it all stirred back up a few months ago with unsettlement and dreams every night all night. I do not have anyone to talk to about this who understands and it makes my husband nervous because he doesn't understand. When I have tried to get it all off my shoulders people see me as dramatic or making it up. Part of me started wondering if I was at times. I am not a news watcher because I don't trust what any of them are saying and I know what's going on without surrounding myself with it. I know that I need to stay focussed and not get distracted so the news is not puting these things in my head. You don't know me or know anything about me, yet God has helped you reach me and let me know that I'm not alone. I don't know what's coming either or what I'm supposed to do to prepare, but I do know that the earth is stirring and we are being awakened to play our role in what is coming.

Your words felt like a message directly from God that I truly needed to hear. I too have been church hurt but never lost my connection to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We recently lost my 6 year old nephew to a brutal cancer death. Since his death I have been having a difficult time trying to pray. I've felt like all the prayer offered for my nephew meant nothing. Every day since his death, a beautiful picture of him shows up on my computer whenever I start it or shut it down. Maybe this is God's way of showing me that my sweet boy is happy and surrounded with even more love than he had here on earth. Thank you for getting that message to me. Love to you and your family.

I watched one of your videos back in March or April and you said something that spoke to me so much that I wrote it down. You said "Urgency does not always mean fear- sometimes it's just the prompting that says 'hey, it's time to move' ". I'm proud to say that my husband and I bought a house on an acre and will be moving our family in the next few weeks. I feel so at peace and feel confident that God used you as well as countless others to point us in this direction and He is paving the way beautifully.

I feel every word. I see you. I grew up in church and believed that I knew the father. I made a lot of bad choices and took a long walk away from God all while church members were screaming at me that I needed to get my life right and God was coming back any day. I knew all of that. I had the head knowledge. I grew up in church yet I finally found the green leaves through a lottery ticket, an alcoholic, and a stripper. I finally found a real relationship with God through people who didn't even know him. Oh how I wish I could reach those two because my life has changed forever! I feel what you're feeling. I have such amazing hope for the future...especially for the children. I believe I had an experience like this one a week ago when I visited the town of Uvalde, TX a week ago. I felt God tell me..."Get out of the car, take off your shoes, and reclaim this as my land." I've never felt that way. Not this strongly. So I did. I probably looked crazy. I prayed for the power of God to rain back on His children in that town and light a fire like never before. To wake them back up. To lead them to His will for their life. You see...I found out a year later after I found my Savior that there was a young person praying that night strongly for God to call His children back. To bring the lost sheep back home. That young person didn't know me but I fully believe their prayers are what sparked a revival in me. God bless you Jess. One day at a time.

To say I was devastated is an understatement. They were my best friends. I talked to or FaceTimed them multiple times a day. My kids were really close to them and they loved my husband like their own son. Since my Mom passed I have felt so alone, even surrounded by family and friends, and so very lost without them. I don’t think you have any idea how much I needed the reminder that He is always with us. I needed the reminder that as I walk through this grief He is with me. Thank you thank you thank you. ❤️

[@nicolephillips9991]

I describe it differently but I really enjoyed listening to your words this morning. I think all of humanity needs to listen to the world around them and really hear. We need to take care of the earth and that begins with taking care of each other and realizing that we are all a part of the same thing. We are all a part of the earth. For so long people have become invested in themselves and no one else. Instead of loving everyone, they decide to hate those who appear different from the outside. But we are all the same. I have been feeling the desire to grow food and move and speak. You helped me see that I need to trust that feeling. Thank you. I hope others watch this video and gain insight into their own lives. All is not lost but it does require people to listen. I have gotten there a different way but if you reach even one person this way; if you convince one person to rethink their life; to stop and listen; to look at another person with love instead of hate, I will be so glad. It will be one drop. One drop that can turn into many. Thank you for your videos.
