Before we go further

Hey. I see you.

You’ve been pinning land for years. Cottage farmhouses with stone walls. Kitchen gardens with espaliered apples. The long table under the oak. A path your kids put in themselves. The kind of place your grandkids will drive back to one day.

The dream isn’t the problem. You see it in HD.

The how is the problem.

Where would you even look? How many acres? What’s a perc test? How do you read a parcel without falling in love with it? When do you walk away? How do you and your spouse stop having the same circular conversation you’ve been having for the seventeenth time?

You’ve been thinking about this for years. So has your group chat. Half of them have half-joked about buying something together.

None of you knows the first step.

Five days. Live sessions. By Friday you’ll have a signed family land vision, a chosen region, real parcels you’ve scored together, and a clear next move.

That’s why I built the Pin to Parcel Challenge.

01 The Great Return

Something is shifting.

U.S. rural populations have grown every year since 2020 — the longest stretch of growth in over a decade. The families buying land aren’t who you’d expect. Not commercial farmers. Not generationally rich. Not the homestead accounts you follow.

They’re you. Two-to-four kids. A spouse with a W-2 (or two W-2s). A Pinterest board you’ve been adding to since 2019. Maybe a small backyard garden that’s slowly outgrown its plot. A growing instinct that the suburbs aren’t where this family is supposed to live forever.

The thing stopping you isn’t readiness. It isn’t even the money.

It’s that nobody in your family has ever bought raw land. Nobody handed you the playbook.

The Challenge is the playbook — taught live, alongside other Christian families doing the work the same week.

Six things you’ll walk away with

By Friday at 8 PM.

01

A signed family land vision.

You and your spouse, on the same page about what kind of land your family actually needs. One sentence. One signature each. The conversation you’ve been circling for years, finally landed.

02

A chosen region.

Where you’re actually going to look. Not five states. Not “somewhere in Tennessee maybe.” A specific region, with two backups, scored against the criteria that matter to your family.

03

Real parcels in that region.

Five to ten actual parcels you’ve identified, evaluated, and scored using the Land Score rubric — together, in real time, with the cohort.

04

A clear next move.

Walk this parcel this week. Keep looking. Pivot regions. Walk away. Whatever your answer is, you’ll leave Friday knowing exactly what comes next, with the confidence to do it.

05

A peer cohort.

Other Christian families doing the same work the same week. The accountability, the texts, the “we just walked one this morning” check-ins. The community you didn’t know you were missing.

06

Lifetime alumni access.

A private space where every Pin to Parcel graduate stays connected. No monthly fee. No pressure. Just a room of families who get it, for as long as you want it.

The week

Five days. One arc.

One hour live each day. Built for couples — solo participants welcome too. Real homework that builds toward Friday’s deliverable.

Day01Vision

Three Doors conversation, structured.

We walk through the framework live, then couples break into private screens to do the conversation. (Solo participants journal it through — works just as well.) Camera off. We come back together at minute 45.

A signed one-page family land vision.

Day02Region

Choose where you’re actually going to look.

The Region Filter — six factors that matter, scored live against three candidate regions. By the end of the session, you’ve picked one and identified two backups.

One chosen region with two backups.

Day03Channels

Where land actually lives.

MLS, Accredited Land Consultants, county tax sales, FSBO networks, off-market. We focus on the three channels most useful for first-time buyers, with live demonstrations using your chosen region.

5–10 real parcels identified.

Day04Scoring

The Land Score, applied live.

We score together, with sample parcels on screen so the whole cohort sees how the rubric actually works in practice. The team is available for real-time questions.

All identified parcels scored.

Day05Decision

What the scores mean.

The walk-away discipline. Each couple leaves with a clear, signed answer to three questions: Is there a parcel worth walking? What do you do this week? What changes — region, criteria, timing — if not?

A clear next move, signed and dated.

Cohort caps before each launch. We run it a few times a year. Designed for couples — though solo participants are welcome.

Twelve weeks from now

Twelve weeks from now.

By the end of week one, you’ve finished the Challenge. You have your vision, your region, real parcels you’ve scored, and a clear next move.

By week three, you’ve walked a parcel. Boots on the ground. Spouse beside you. You knew before you got there what you were looking for, and the score you ran on Friday turned out to be honest.

By week six, you’ve made an offer. (Or you’ve crossed your top parcel off and gone back to the cohort to find a better one. The framework holds either way.)

By week twelve, you’re either under contract or you’ve identified the parcel you will be. The fog is gone. The conversation with your spouse is happening at the kitchen table now, not in tense silence on the drive home from open houses.

Your group chat has noticed. (They will ask.)

The ones who don’t take the Challenge?

Twelve weeks from now, the Pinterest tab is still open. The conversation is still circular. The dream is still HD.

And the family that took it? Has a signed contract.

Before you join

Two quick disclaimers.

01

It isn’t a self-paced course.

This is live. Five days, in real time, with a cohort of other Christian families doing the work the same week. If you want something to binge on a Saturday afternoon, read Boundary Lines first and come back when you can carve out the week.

02

It isn’t for investors.

If you’re buying land to flip, build a portfolio, or run cattle for a living, this is the wrong room. The Pin to Parcel Challenge is for the family that wants a place — to gather on, garden on, build a home on, pass down. Different sport entirely.

About

I built this because we live it.

Photo of Zim

Hi, I’m Zim. My spouse and I buy about a hundred acres each year. We’ve made the offers, signed the contracts, walked the boundaries with the surveyor, talked banks into things, and watched the sun go down on land we now own.

The Pin to Parcel Challenge is what I wish someone had built for us when we started. Five days, with people who do this every week and other Christian families walking the same path the same week.

If you’ve read Boundary Lines, you already have the method. The Challenge is where you stop reading about it and start doing it.

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.

— Psalm 16:6

They can fall for you too.

In her words

One reader.

“We did the conversation about land for three years before the Challenge. By Tuesday we had a signed vision. By Friday we’d scored five parcels in the region we picked together. We walked one of them last week. Three years of fog, gone in five days.” — [Reader name], first cohort
Questions

The questions I get most.

The answers I’d give over coffee.

Do both spouses need to be on the call?

Highly encouraged but not required. The whole design assumes both spouses are doing the work together — the breakouts, the homework, the signed vision — so it works best when both of you are there. Solo participants are warmly welcome and get just as much from it; you’ll do the spouse-together work as a journaled exercise instead of a live conversation, and bring your spouse into the decisions afterward.

What time of day are the live sessions?

Sessions are 60–75 minutes. We aim for evenings — usually around 8 PM Eastern — so both spouses can be on the call without taking a workday off. The exact schedule is shared with confirmed participants two weeks before the Challenge starts.

We don’t own land yet. Is that okay?

That’s exactly who this is for. The Challenge is the bridge between “we’ve been thinking about it” and “we’re scoring real parcels.” If you already own land, you might be a better fit for the Inheritance Intensive — email me and I’ll help you decide.

What if we miss a session?

Replays are available within hours of each session ending. Standard tier gets 30 days of replay access; Supported and VIP get lifetime. That said, the cohort works best when you’re live — your homework gets shared, your questions get answered in real time, and the peer momentum is the whole point.

How big are the cohorts?

We cap each tier deliberately. Standard caps around 100 couples, Supported around 30, VIP around 30 (split across three small group sessions of ~10 each post-Challenge). When a tier sells out, that tier closes for the cohort.

What’s the $1,000 Intensive credit?

VIP buyers get a $1,000 credit toward the Inheritance Intensive — our 4-day in-person retreat for families ready to bring expert teams to actual parcels. The credit is good for 12 months and applies to any Intensive cohort within that window.

Refunds?

The Challenge is non-refundable once it begins. If you can’t attend the cohort you registered for, you can defer once to the next cohort, no questions asked. If you complete the Challenge fully and feel it didn’t deliver, email me — we’ll talk.

Is the cohort Christian?

Yes. The Challenge is built for Christian families and the design assumes shared faith — Scripture shows up naturally, prayer is part of the close, and the framing throughout is around generational stewardship. Non-Christian buyers are welcome but should know the room.

This is your year

This is the year you stop pinning.

There’s a version of this year where you and your spouse spend five evenings together, in front of the same screen, doing the work — and by Friday you have a signed vision, a chosen region, real parcels, and a clear next move.

There’s also a version where you don’t.

The Pinterest tab stays open. The conversation stays circular. Next December, you’re still the family that says someday.

One of those versions starts on Monday.
