Coffee With Hales
Welcome to Coffee with Hales! Here, we explore mini-homesteading, backyard chickens, conspiracies, technocracy, politics, and culture — all through a lens of curiosity and discernment, examining how a biblical worldview can shape practical living in everyday life.
If you want to slow down, think clearly, and see the world from a different perspective, you’re in the right place — by asking thoughtful questions, considering alternative perspectives, and taking steps toward a more intentional way of living.
If you would like to see more of my mini-homestead, check out my YouTube:

Merry Christmas Time! I'm so glad you decided to Carol Through Christmas With Me! This Carloling Through Christmas Series will compare and contrast Classic Carols with Scripture. Many of the Christmas Carols are inspired by Bible passages. Taking a moment to break down a melody to understand the period in which it was written, what Scripture it celebrates, and how we can apply these principles in our lives will give us a different perspective when we hear these songs at Christmas. I hope this helps you enjoy the season even more intentionally at Christmas!
