– where family, faith, and purposeful living take flight.
We’re the Pannell family—a homeschool-loving, skill-building, gospel-sharing crew with a heart for ministry and a passion for helping others live intentionally. Here at Plain Living, everything we do points back to our mission: to serve God and equip others to do the same.
Mission Aviation & Ministry Training
Through our aviation ministry, we fly to serve and train others to do the same. We’re equipping the next generation of missionary pilots and offering biblical encouragement for those called to go.
Family Life & Homeschooling
From raising kids with character to teaching life skills and offering encouragement to homeschool families, we believe in building strong homes and capable hearts.
Practical Skills & Courses
We offer online courses to teach everyday skills like RV living, RV repair, sewing, cooking, and more—helping others live simply and serve boldly, wherever God leads.
Whether you’re here to learn, grow, or go—we’re glad you’re here.

Redeeming the time through aviation
Hello! I’m Scott.
Plain Living Home is, in essence, an educational blog. We hope to equip others to raise capable kids, provide for their family, and serve the Lord. We offer educational resources on homeschooling, cooking from scratch, small business and e-commerce, RV Repair and more!
On top of all that excitement, the Lord has called our family to establish the Pioneer aviation ministry. This ministry consists of flying small aircraft, training other missionary pilots, and assisting ministries around the world. Our goals are to use aviation to redeem the time, reach the next towns, retrieve the necessities, and restore missionaries! Join us as we seek to serve the Lord and see souls saved.
Proverbs 31, Rethought.
Hello and welcome! I’m Kim, wife to Scott and Mama to 5 wild kiddos! Over 15 years of marriage, we have found that having lots of skills makes life so much easier. We aim to raise capable kids so they can avoid the struggles we faced before we learned what we know now.
Within this always-learning-lifestyle, we are raising our children to live Christ centered lives to let their “lights so shine before men”. For now, our biggest tool is using our Hope Chest Project for our children and offering our RV School. So, whether it’s general homemaking, building a business, ministry, learning to sew, cooking from scratch, or homeschooling, we have experience we want to share!
Naturally, our learning process was difficult and sometimes lonely with a lot of lessons learned the hard way. But of course, we don’t want it to be that way for you! So, please join us as we share our heart to build a bigger table, make disciples, and build a plane ministry along the way.
