Melissa Ferguson is a homeschooling mom and best-selling author who lives in Tennessee in the sweet farmhouse you'll find at the center of her first children's book, Our Friendly Farmhouse. In this episode, Melissa shares how God led her comfortable suburban family to take a leap of faith, purchasing a farmhouse in the Appalachian Mountains and embracing homesteading life. Even though God has brought her to places she never expected, Melissa is finding so much joy in the simple, slower-paced life that her family has discovered through homesteading and homeschooling.
