Christian Prepper | Looking for Excuses Not to Prep
Wednesday Dec 10, 2025
Wednesday Dec 10, 2025
Have you ever encountered someone who uses faith as a convenient excuse to avoid the responsibilities God has actually called them to? In this episode of the Christian Prepper Podcast, Todd examines an obstacles in the faith communityâthe tendency among believers to twist scripture into justification for inaction.
This devotional dives deep into the excuses that are used often, from "God understands my heart" to claims that a pre-tribulation rapture eliminates any need to prepare. Todd addresses these head-on with biblical clarity, reminding listeners that Jesus never promised a suffering-free existence.
If you've struggled to explain preparedness to fellow believers or family members who resist the conversation, this episode equips you with scriptural foundations and practical talking points.

Christian Prepper - Phone Code Conversation Starter
Friday Dec 05, 2025
Friday Dec 05, 2025
Have you ever considered what would happen if something happened to you and your loved ones couldn't access your phone or online accounts? For preppers, preparing for the unexpected isn't just about physical suppliesâit's about ensuring your family can navigate life's challenges even in your absence. Yet many faithful preppers overlook one critical element: making sure the people they love can actually access the information they'll need when it matters most.
In this truck ride episode, Todd addresses a common challenge that arose from a previous discussion on emergency access planning. Starting conversations about passwords, phone codes, and digital accounts can feel awkward, especially with adult or teenage children. This episode offers a practical approach that shifts the dynamic entirelyâone that opens the door to these important discussions without putting anyone on the defensive. You'll discover how to frame the conversation in a way that feels natural and even invites your family members to think about their own preparedness without resistance.
For Christian preppers committed to truly comprehensive preparedness, this kind of planning reflects good stewardship of both your resources and your relationships. The techniques shared in this episode could mean the difference between your family having immediate access to critical information or facing unnecessary obstacles during an already difficult time. Listen now and take the next step in protecting what matters most.

Christian Prepper | Preparedness Force More Powerful than You
Thursday Dec 04, 2025
Thursday Dec 04, 2025
Have you ever stopped to consider that your drive to prepare might not have originated with you at all? For Christian preppers, there's a profound truth hidden in Scripture that most preparedness discussions completely overlookâthe reality that God Himself may be the preparedness force behind your calling to get ready.
This episode takes you deep into Exodus 35 to examine the first recorded instance of someone being filled with the Spirit, and what that ancient account reveals about your own journey as a prepper. Todd explores the biblical pattern of God equipping specific individuals with skills, wisdom, and understanding to accomplish tasks He's set before themâfrom Bezalel crafting the tabernacle to Noah building the ark to Joseph preparing Egypt for famine. The connection to modern preparedness is unmistakable, and understanding it changes everything about how you view your role as someone who prepares.
If you've ever sensed that your ability to plan, store, and prepare comes more naturally to you than to others around you, this episode offers a perspective that goes far beyond practical skills. For those who have been filled with the spirit to prepare, recognizing the source of that calling brings both purpose and responsibility. This isn't about the zombie apocalypse or dystopian scenariosâit's about faithfully stewarding the abilities God has given you to protect your household and potentially serve others when difficult times arrive.
