You are the farmer!

Foundation Scripture

Mark 4:14 The farmer sows the word.

How do we sow? With words and actions

A smart farmer will ensure that his soil is adequate ground for the type of seed he plans to plant. There are conditions, in which a seed will grow, stagnate, reach optimal growth, and/or surpass expectations. It is our job to foster the environment for an expected return.

Examples of the four (4) relationships and the ground they create (Mark 4:13-20):

Pathway Relationship Hear the Word and immediately, it’s gone! Mark 4:15

• You may or may not desire to have a relationship with child and/or spouse, but lack the discipline to sustain a solid relationship. No true commitment has been made. Your emotional connection and follow-through regarding your child and/or spouse is non-existent. Therefore, your child doesn’t trust what you say, because of your actions.

Rocky Relationship Accept, welcome, and rejoice! Endure for awhile, but not long because of no root. Mark 4:16-17

• You desire to have a relationship with child and/or spouse, but lack the discipline to sustain a solid relationship. No commitment has been made. You have an emotional connection, but your follow-through regarding your child and/or spouse is non-existent. Therefore, your child doesn’t trust what you say, because of your actions.

Inconsistent Relationship Hear the Word, but cares, anxieties, and distractions of the world suffocate the Word and it produces no result. Mark 4:18-19

• You have a relationship with child and/or spouse, but lack the discipline to sustain a solid relationship. No commitment has been made. You have an emotional connection, but your follow-through regarding your child and/or spouse is inconsistent. Therefore, your child doesn’t trust what you say, because of your actions.

Good Relationship Hear and receive the Word and produce fruit. Mark 4:20

• You have established and maintained a solid relationship with child and/or spouse. A commitment has been made. You have an emotional connection and your follow-through regarding your child and/or spouse is consistent. Therefore, your child trusts what you say, because of your actions.

Renewing your Mind to the Word of God

Renewing Your Mind to the Word of God from The Seminary Dropout on Vimeo.

Romans 12 (NIV)
2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.


How do you conform to this world? Complaining about your current situation to people… This is not Biblically compliant. The Bible informs us tells us to be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 The Bible speaks of approaching the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16

Transformation takes place by meditating on God’s commandments and promises.


How to renew your mind? I believe you first begin with an honest prayer of submission to the Lord. Believe in faith that God will help you change your current viewpoints that are contrary to the Word of God. What does God say about your current situation?


How do you know what the will of God is? Have you ever prayed for something, not having complete confidence that God would answer your prayer? Studying the Bible will help in these areas of confusion and frustration. God is very clear in his will for humanity. Our salvation is His will through Jesus Christ. How do I know this? It’s in the Bible. John 3:16

Raising children… Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6 Finances Malachi 3:6-12, selecting friends 1 Corinthians 15:33, what I say Matthew 12:35-37, and future Jeremiah 29:11.
