ripen – a gardening lifestyle magazine is your online community to be a hand of tranquility and cultivate a harvest lifestyle.
This magazine is a cross-pollination between the best of vegetable/flower growing and Christian living. Whether you’re just starting your first garden or your green thumb already makes you a top producer, here you’ll find a community of gardeners planting with a hand of tranquility and living the harvest lifestyle. Well help you grow a faith in Christ that is disease and drought resistant, high yielding and full of beauty and flavor.
We’re here to help you discover all the ways the Christian faith produces a more robust gardening lifestyle that blossoms with greater value.
This is the newest brand by Lifestyle Media Group started in 2022. Founded by Brad Bloom, we’ve grown to be an energetic network of thinkers, communicators, and media developers all with a passion to inspire and motivate people to do more than live life fully.
Sure, it’s great to be healthy, embrace sustainability, experience the beauty of our natural world and live life abundantly and to the max. It is human nature to want that. But – you know there is a nature still deeper in you that desires even more. We believe that is God calling you to not just live life but to BE LIFE, the very essence and expression of God, to others.
