About this sermon
Everybody—Steve from Sensus Fidelium here. Today I’m joined by Judson Carroll (Southern Appalachian Herbs) to talk Christian/Catholic herbal medicine, foraging “weeds”, permaculture, bio-intensive gardening, and why he says you can feed a family for $10 when you grow smart. We dig into: How Benedictines and early Christian saints spread herbal medicine (Hildegard of Bingen, St. Blaise, etc.) German folk medicine and Fr. Johann Künzle (a priest who beat doctors in court over herbs!) Everyday “weeds” that are food & medicine: dandelion, dead nettle, red clover, chickweed, burdock, plantain & more Permaculture + bio-intensive systems (soil, compost, animals, water) to grow more in small spaces Practical foraging + homestead skills: trees with medicinal uses, Kudzu (yes!), backyard livestock, vertical growing Faith, common sense, and ditching the “new age” spin around herbs If you’ve wondered how saints, monks, and homesteaders used God’s creation to heal, cook, and thrive, this one’s for you. 👉 Guest: Judson Carroll — Southern Appalachian Herbs Christian Herbal Medicine: History & Practice Medicinal Herbs of Father Johann Künzle Herbal Medicine for Preppers, Homesteaders & Permaculturists Growing Your Survival Herb Garden ⚠️ Medical disclaimer: This video is for education only, not medical advice.
