What The Hell Happened?! The entire series in 1 video.

The dark history of NarroWay Homestead, all parts in 1 video. It took me 2 years to speak on the events that took place. I left the Mennonites in my young 20s. But they never left me...

This has been published before, but this is the first time it's in 1 video.

When the homestead started, I was married. One of my siblings also started homesteading with us. I foolishly titled the land in her name as well. One big thing I've learned over the years, never allow anyone to be in a position to benefit financially from a hardship they are able to cause you.

Telling this story serves 2 purposes, it helps me heal from all the events. it also let's those who caused my difficulties realize I am not afraid of them.

To those who are in this story, I know you keep tabs on my channel... Do not contact me. I don't need your apologizies or explanations. After this all ended and you shunned me, my life became amazing in every way possible. Like a person who had gum stuck on their shoe and finally got it off, I don't want you back. Believe it or not, I forgive you. But you burned this bridge, and I have no obligation to allow you back in my life in any capacity. I have not the ability or desire to remove the consequences of your actions. May the possessions you wrongfully took be a curse upon you. Should you further attempt to cause me difficulties I will be more detailed and direct with public responses. Go try to be better people, and don't play God in other people's lives. You don't represent him like you think you do.

Summary:

Nate's story is a personal account of how his homestead came to be, and the challenging journey that led him there. Here's the key narrative:

Early Life & Background:
Nate grew up in Pennsylvania with his younger siblings Jezebel and Nabal. Though he initially had a strained relationship with his brother, he eventually became Christian and their relationship improved. His family later converted to Mennonite Christianity when he was 16. After high school, he moved to Pennsylvania to work in construction.

Marriage & Early Adult Life:
Nate married Delila after meeting her online. Their early marriage seemed stable until he discovered she had multiple affairs. Despite this, influenced by his religious beliefs about forgiveness, he chose to stay in the marriage and work through it. They attended various churches, eventually settling into a Baptist congregation.

Path to Homesteading:
Nate, Delila, and his sister Jezebel decided to start a homestead together. They pooled their resources, with Nate providing most of the funding and Jezebel planning to manage the animals. They eventually found and purchased a 100-acre property in West Virginia.

The Breakdown:
After moving to the homestead, tensions grew between all parties. Jezebel showed concerning behavior with animals, often responding with anger and harsh treatment. Delila became increasingly unhappy with homestead life. The situation deteriorated further when Nate gained a significant following on social media, which created jealousy and additional tension.

The Crisis:
One morning, Nate woke to find a group of Mennonites and religious leaders at his door. They helped Jezebel suddenly move out, leaving dead animals scattered across the property. This group then attempted to manipulate Nate through what he later recognized as cult-like brainwashing tactics, trying to convince him he was a narcissist who needed rehabilitation at a Mennonite facility.

Resolution:
Nate eventually realized he was being manipulated by this religious group. With support from his social media moderators (including Jen, who later became his girlfriend) and neighbors, he managed to:
- Complete a financial separation from both Jezebel and Delila
- Obtain a loan to buy out their shares of the property
- Finalize his divorce from Delila
- Cut ties with the Mennonite group

The Aftermath:
Though the experience was traumatic, Nate has continued building his homestead. Some positive outcomes emerged: three ducks that survived Jezebel's departure have multiplied into twenty-two, he's developed strong relationships with his neighbors, and he's found new happiness with Jen. He continues to run his successful social media channels while building his homestead, though he remains cautious about the potential for the Mennonite group to resurface in his life.

The story serves as both a personal account of survival through manipulation and betrayal, and a cautionary tale about certain religious groups that operate more like cults, using people's vulnerabilities against them for financial and social control.

You mentioned that you don't know why you blew up on tictoc. My guess, and the reason I am still here, is that you are authentic. It is obvious you would be doing your thing even without the social media aspects.

Thank you Nate!

[Strugglingdisciple]

Nate. I had no idea that while I was so broken inside, you also were having troubles. You have no idea how much you coming to my live streams and supporting me in those times helped me. It turns out I was helping you as well. You've got a ton of projects going on. It will get easier, jusbrkeep cracking at it.

Nate❣️I just watched your entire video. I was angry. I was horrified. I was hanging on the edge of my chair. I cried. I’m heartbroken. And I’m elated you are where you are. You have made great strides with yourself and in learning to accept love again. Jen is fantastic. She adds so much to your life and to your homestead. Your animals are beautiful and healthy. Minion and Az and the kitties are pure unconditional love. I have only been a viewer for probably about a year now, and love each one of your videos. I’m wearing my “Go Places Do Things” t-shirt as I make this text. I’m so proud that you are no longer beating yourself up. You’re a strong man and I know you have much to share with your channel. I, for one, will be here for whatever you have to share. Much respect and prayers to you and yours ❣️ Liz from Georgia USA

All 28 parts of the original posts were cliffhangers! I was so invested in What The Hell Happened. I had to listen to them all in one go. Glad you stitched them all together into a great podcast! 😅

[janetwest]

Nate you are so blessed now, having Jen and her little doggy to join your homestead. Your place is really nice and Will working for you is making lots of good changes .

[zarunohn]

I watched the whole 30ish part What the Hell Happened. Appreciate this video! Chucking it on and cleaning up while listening ❤

[jimmypennell]

Takes a lot of courage to re-tell and re-live this traumatizing situation especially when you have been hurt by people that you love and trust. It's hard to let go of people 😪 even when you know it's best. This is the best way to heal. Tell the story. Good, Bad, whatever and feel it. Listening to your story has helped me in dealing with my own personal relationships and my walk with Christ

[garypeterson]

Nate, I watch the whole thing. It sounds like you walk through the valley of evil and came out with her head held high. It takes a very strong person to go through what you have you came out a bigger and better person. Congratulations.

[clistamartin]

Nate I remember seeing your sister and ex wife on your videos and they both seemed off. Like they didn’t seem genuine. I continued to watch you and have been here a long time. I’m so glad you shared this story it was very interesting but I’m very sad that this happened to you. I’m glad to see you be so successful with all of your social media platforms 🎉🙌

[ChrisSa]

Oh man, it's all here together now, I'm so glad you made it through all that crap and are in a much better place now.

[thecrystalcrow]

I am so happy for you and where you are now after your trials & tribulations. I can't begin to imagine how difficult and stressful the whole separation period was. I wish you peace.

[kristofergobbe]

I'm ten minutes in and very intrigued in your story. I'm not going to watch 4hrs worth straight up. But i will be revisiting this video until i do watch it all over time. Cheers for putting everything out there and appreciate the honesty.🇦🇺✌️

[kjswhathappened]

I am so happy to hear you are saved. No religion, just Relationship.

[pauli]

Watching this whole story again reminds me of how happy I am that you and Jen found each other.
💖🙏💖

[Court]

I didn't know your story, and I am watching this bits at a time. This is very interesting and personal. It's giving me a lot more insight into the energy you put off as a person. Much respect.

[jennifermommy]

Oh! You poor thing! Bad ppl have a way of sniffing out vulnerable ppl and taking advantage of them. I'm sorry you had such a rough start but everything you went through led you to the person you are now, and that person is pretty great. I am so glad that you have Jen and Minion and your beautiful homestead now. Keep it up!

[KarenDUlrich]

I watched every single episode when they were separate videos. Worth the time to watch

[wendyhamm]
