I work hard to make the viewer feel like their right there with me as I sit by the fire, walk through the woods and embrace the beauty of tiny cabin life. I also work with brands to integrate their products into my videos in an organic, effortless manner.

What is Boxabl?
Boxabl is a rapidly growing startup that has gained popularity partially thanks to Elon Musk but also because of the growing demand for tiny homes and a housing affordability crisis with no end in sight.
The company’s flagship product is the Boxabl Casita, a 20-foot by 20-foot accessory dwelling unit that can be delivered directly to a customer’s backyard and ready to occupy in an hour. The unit is fitted out as a studio apartment with a full-size kitchen, bathroom, and living room and is expected to sell for $50,000.
The company recently completed a $9.2 million order for the U.S. government and has a waitlist of over 120,000 units. To fulfill the current demand, Boxabl is raising capital from institutional and retail investors to build the world’s largest and most advanced housing factory.
Boxabl received a strategic investment from D.R. Horton Inc. (NYSE: DHI), who agreed to share resources to help the company scale and placed an order for 100 units. The company is also raising capital on StartEngine through a Regulation A+ offering, which allows non-accredited investors to buy preferred shares with a $1,000 minimum investment.
The current crowdfunding campaign for Boxabl on StartEngine has already exceeded $24 million in addition to over $55 million that was previously raised.
BOXABL was started in 2017 by father-son duo Paolo and Galiano Tiramani. Paolo Tiramani is an industrial designer and mechanical engineer who has over 150 patent filings, and Galiano Tiramani is a serial technology entrepreneur. The company started with $2 million by the co-founders. They began R+D, testing, and scouring the planet for alternate building materials and methods that would enable automotive-style mass production of houses.
In 2019, BOXABL was invited to attend the International Builders' Show in Las Vegas. They built the first BOXABL prototypes, and public interest in the project began to snowball.
In May 2021, the company got a federal contract for more than $9 million to build and deliver 156 Casitas for a military base.
In February 2022, the company announced a partnership agreement with homebuilder DR Horton, which included investment and resource sharing, as well as a Phase 1 order of 100 Casita homes.
BOXABL breaks ground on Factory 1, a 170,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Las Vegas, NV. This factory enables BOXABL to begin low-volume production and prove the concept, making the case for the world's most advanced assembly line mass production of housing.
BOXABL is currently in the planning stages for a multi-million-square-foot factory that will produce massive volumes of housing using advances in automation and taking advantage of economies of scale.

A Simple, Proven Method for Memorizing Long Passages of Scripture. When God’s word abides in believers, it overflows with blessings for everyday life. Many Christians have individual Scripture verses “stored up” in their hearts, but there can be even greater spiritual benefit to memorizing long passages―even entire books―of the Bible. Unfortunately, this is often dismissed as impossible or too time consuming.
Andrew M. Davis helps readers commit to extended Scripture memorization so they may grow in holiness, resist temptation, and share the gospel with others. In this brief guide, he offers an accessible, time-tested pattern for studying Scripture that includes simple daily procedures and tips for long-term retention. By building up a storehouse of biblical truth in their hearts, readers will strengthen their prayer life and intimacy with Christ as they prepare to share God’s truth with others.
Has Helped Thousands Memorize Books of the Bible: Proven, daily plan for extended Scripture memorization and retention

Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality, returns with a thought-provoking work that challenges our preconceptions about dishonesty and urges us to take an honest look at ourselves.
Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to cheat?
How do companies pave the way for dishonesty?
Does collaboration make us more or less honest?
Does religion improve our honesty?
Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all cheat. From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune, whether it's a white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense reports. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, award-winning author Dan Ariely shows why some things are easier to lie about than others; how getting caught matters less than we think in whether we cheat; and how business practices pave the way for unethical behavior, both intentionally and unintentionally. Ariely explores how unethical behavior works in the personal, professional, and political worlds, and how it affects all of us, even as we think of ourselves as having high moral standards. But all is not lost. Ariely also identifies what keeps us honest, pointing the way for achieving higher ethics in our everyday lives.
With compelling personal and academic findings, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty will change the way we see ourselves, our actions, and others.
Also, check out Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions.
Why do our headaches persist after taking a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a 50-cent aspirin? Why does recalling the 10 Commandments reduce our tendency to lie, even when we couldn't possibly be caught? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save 25 cents on a can of soup? Why do we go back for second helpings at the unlimited buffet, even when our stomachs are already full? And how did we ever start spending $4.15 on a cup of coffee when, just a few years ago, we used to pay less than a dollar?
When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're in control. We think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we? In a series of illuminating, often surprising experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities.
Not only do we make astonishingly simple mistakes every day, but we make the same types of mistakes, Ariely discovers. We consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. We fail to understand the profound effects of our emotions on what we want, and we overvalue what we already own. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable - making us predictably irrational.
From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, Ariely explains how to break through these systematic patterns of thought to make better decisions. Predictably Irrational will change the way we interact with the world - one small decision at a time.Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University and a founding member of the Center for Advanced Hindsight. He does research in behavioral economics on the irrational ways people behave, described in plain language. -
The Roys Report is a Christian media outlet, reporting the unvarnished truth about what’s happening in the Christian community so the church can be reformed and restored.
Founded by investigative journalist Julie Roys, The Roys Report began as a personal blog where Julie published her commentaries and occasional investigative pieces while working as a national radio host on Moody Radio. However, in 2018, Julie published a series of articles on her website, exposing corruption and mission drift at the Moody Bible Institute. This led to the exit of three top officers at Moody. It also ended Julie’s relationship with Moody and changed the focus of Julie’s website—from a blog offering cultural commentary to an independent Christian media outlet exposing corruption, abuse, and what’s been termed the “evangelical industrial complex.”
In 2018—2019, Julie wrote dozens of stories, revealing bullying, deceit, and financial abuse by celebrity preacher James MacDonald and Harvest Bible Chapel. In the course of her reporting, Harvest fired MacDonald and the entire board of elders at the church resigned.
Other issues Julie has exposed include the sexual misconduct of Ravi Zacharias; protection of pedophiles and punishment of abuse victims by John MacArthur; sexual abuse and mismanagement at Willow Creek Community Church; and a pattern of bullying and abuse within the Acts 29 church planting network. -

Many Christians today are unaware or skeptical of the reality of Satan and the role he and his demonic hordes seek to exert on our lives. But if we're to take Scripture seriously, we can't overlook the biblical assertions about the spiritual battles between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the devil.
The truth is that believers in Jesus are certain to encounter men and women of all ages who are oppressed, tormented, and tempted by demonic powers. In Understanding Spiritual Warfare, theologian and professor Sam Storms confronts the reality of the spiritual conflict in our midst, the threat of the demonic, and how we, as Christians, can respond to such a threat in our own lives and in the lives of others.
Storms explains the biblical teaching on spiritual warfare and shares numerous personal accounts of victories over the demonic, answering question like:
Who is Satan and his demons, and how do they act?
Can a Christian be demonized?
How does the authority of Christ defeat the devil and the demonic?
What is “warfare prayer” and how can we wield it?
Perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual warfare, Understanding Spiritual Warfare also serves as a training manual for a ministry of deliverance and inner healing.
Dr. Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ.
In this comprehensive guide to the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations while confronting the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry. He explains how spiritual gifts--both the more miraculous and the everyday--are given to build up the body of Christ.
God has graciously provided these "manifestations of the Spirit" so that believers might encourage, edify, strengthen, instruct, and console one another, all with a view to an ever-increasing, incremental transformation into the image of Jesus Christ. Throughout this guide, Sam Storms unpacks the glorious truth that there is a supernatural and divine energy or power that fills and indwells the body and soul of every Christian believer.
Understanding Spiritual Gifts is useful as a reference to address common questions about the gifts, but it also serves as a training manual for using and exercising the gifts in ministry. It is perfect for any individual or group who wants to grow in their understanding of spiritual gifts for today.

The great evangelist, Ravi Zacharias, had been a pretender for decades. The influential apostle to the Academy had built a self-named empire by claiming for himself academic credentials that he did not have. He told fans and donors that he was "a professor at Oxford" and a "visiting scholar at Cambridge." He told them that he had been "educated in Cambridge," where he had studied quantum physics under the renowned John Polkinghorne. He told them he had chaired a department that never existed. And more. His claims were false, and his Christian business colleagues knew it. They remained silent. Ravi Zacharias was too useful to the Kingdom.
He had written dozens of books, had a weekly radio show that reached over 2000 outlets, he packed large auditoriums around the world, and in 2016 his ministry brought in $42,000,000. This was a large boat that nobody in the Chriatian business world wanted to rock. But then Zacharias had an online affair with a married woman. On October 29, 2016, she informed him that she would confess the affair to her husband. The evangelist responded by threatening suicide. And he did so in writing. Word of the famous preacher's suicide threat began to leak out. Zacharias's cover was about to blow. And when it did it would expose not just another corrupt clergyman but also cynicism and unbelief at the highest levels of God, Inc.Zacharias was desperate.
On July 31, 2017, he filed a federal lawsuit against the woman. Four months later the parties settled on terms that required silence. The evangelist, it seemed, had resecured his cover. This book blows that cover. Through meticulous documentation the author takes the reader through Ravi's journey from being a suicidal youth in India to his attaining world prominence as an evangelist to the thinking person.
The author shares Zacharias's suicide emails and the confidential legal letter the preacher received that outlined his misconduct with the married woman. The reader also will see the evangelist's false credential claims carefully dissected with documentation from Oxford and Cambridge and other sources. After nearly four decades of successful deception Ravi Zacharias is finally revealed as the tattered pretender he is. As for his enablers in the God business, this book will force them to reflect on their supposed belief in the deity who so clearly forbids lying. -

The first Christmas sermon preserved in church history was preached by St. John Chrysostom in AD 386, in which he declared, "Behold a new and wonderful mystery!" In this volume, the Christian literary writers of the Chrysostom Society reflect on Advent and Christmastide as a bright and meaningful season of anticipation and glory. Through forty-two readings from the first Sunday of Advent through Epiphany, contributors prepare us in watchful waiting for the coming of Jesus. We enter slowly so that the familiar can astonish us and become wondrous once again.
Jesus is born in Bethlehem. But not only there. He is also born in us, that we might bear his presence and impart his goodness to the world.
"In Advent we prepare for the coming of all Love." ―Madeleine L'Engle
"At the birth of Jesus, an event of cosmic significance by which we humans still mark our calendars, the invisible and visible worlds come together." ―Philip Yancey
"Help us to realize, as those who love and believe in you that we, too, are pregnant with Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, and that day by day we are being enlarged." ―Luci Shaw

An Introduction to the Psalms from Biblical Scholars Bruce K. Waltke and Fred G. Zaspel
Written over the course of 1,000 years, the book of Psalms is a collection of religious poetry voicing a wide variety of human emotions expressed in different genres—imprecatory psalms, psalms of praise, and more. It has become one of the most popular books of the Bible, but most readers have only a surface level understanding of the Psalms and how it fits into the larger historical and scriptural context.
In How to Read and Understand the Psalms, Bruce K. Waltke and Fred G. Zaspel give readers tools to learn how to properly interpret and internalize the Psalms. Developed primarily from decades of lectures by Waltke, they explain the various types of psalms, Hebrew poetry, rhetorical techniques, and more. Armed with these tools, believers will discover how the 150 psalms can further fuel their knowledge and love of God.
