Contra Radio Network

Buying a sleek solar generator feels good. It looks clean, it promises plug-and-play power, and it costs about as much as a used car. In this episode, I break down why building your own battery backup system often makes more sense — not for bragging rights, but for cost, repairability, and real-world usefulness.

In Episode 234, Dave makes a major announcement regarding the future of the Contra Radio Network and its move to Rumble exclusively. From there, he does a review of the various court cases that Trump has experienced in his first year, the trade deficit, and an executive order that prohibits courts from taking the money the US Treasury is holding for the Venezuelan people and government. After that, Dave discusses the odd timing of the Russian ‘Doomsday Radio Station’ playing Swan Lake and the appearance of the USAF ‘Doomsday Plane’ arriving and landing at LAX this week. Dave closes the show by discussing the rise in ‘citizen journalists’ and ‘civic activists’ blowing the lid off of all of the Somali fraud nationwide and CAIR withdrawing their lawsuit in order to avoid discovery as it pertains to their donors and funding sources.

Today’s episode explores one of the most invisible yet devastating threats to modern society: cyber and information warfare.
Unlike natural disasters or economic crashes, cyberattacks don’t require armies, missiles, or even physical presence.
Nope. All that is required for cyber warfare is three tangible things: access, opportunity, and intent.
And as for information warfare — that’s a battle for perception, belief, and narrative — those three are just as dangerous. Because when you control information, you control behavior. We saw it on 9/11 and the days/weeks/months/years after. We saw it during hurricanes Katrina and Helene. During the housing crisis, both of President Trumps terms as well as the four years he wasn’t in office. We saw it daily during the covid years and with the potato’s reign of terror.

In Episode 110 of The Kershner Files, Dave starts the show by talking through a TON of current event/headlines that directly affects us and our preparedness planning. From there, he dives into the current spot prices for gold and silver, Survival Realty, gun shows, and conferences/conventions. After all of that, Dave closes the show discussing 10 items to horde prior to the second great depression.

What if the very response designed to save your life in an emergency is slowly destroying your health right now? For Christian preppers serious about long-term resilience, understanding what's happening inside your body during prolonged stress isn't optional—it's essential preparation that most overlook entirely.
In this episode, Todd explores the double-edged nature of fear and the cortisol response that accompanies it. While this stress hormone serves a critical purpose during genuine emergencies, staying in a constant state of fear creates a cascade of problems that will compromise your effectiveness when a real collapse scenario demands your best. From sleep disruption to cognitive fog to unexplained weight gain, the signs of chronic stress are often mistaken for other issues entirely. Todd shares both personal experience and practical wisdom on identifying when fear has shifted from protective to destructive—and what faithful preppers can do about it before crisis strikes.
Whether the stress in your life comes from consuming too much dystopian content, a demanding job, or simply the weight of watching current events unfold, this episode offers a framework for addressing the root causes rather than just managing symptoms. Because when the grid goes down or true emergency arrives, you'll need every physical and mental resource available—and that preparation starts with how you're living today.

Most people default to buying everything off a shelf because it feels easier. In this episode, I break down why that’s often the wrong move. This is about knowing when DIY actually beats store-bought — not as a hobby, but as a smarter, cheaper, more reliable way to prep. Some things are absolutely worth buying. Others? You’re getting ripped off.

Are you spending more time analyzing conspiracy theories than you are trusting the One who holds all things in His hands? In a world where every headline seems to reveal another layer of hidden agendas and political intrigue, Christian preppers face a unique challenge that goes far beyond stockpiling supplies or developing skills. The real question isn't whether dark forces are at work in the world—it's whether we're placing our faith in the right foundation when uncertainty surrounds us.
In this episode, Todd takes us into Isaiah chapter 8, where God delivered a powerful message to His people who were consumed with fear about the political conspiracies of their day. What you'll discover is a timeless principle that separates anxiety-driven prepping from true biblical preparedness—one that acknowledges the importance of awareness while refusing to let fear become our master. This isn't about ignoring what's happening in the world; it's about understanding where genuine security comes from and how that transforms the way we approach everything from news consumption to our daily preparedness practices.
For the Christian prepper who wants to stay informed without being enslaved to the endless cycle of worry and speculation, this episode offers essential perspective. True preparedness has always been about stewardship rooted in trust, not fear rooted in conspiracies. If you're ready to reclaim peace while still taking practical steps to protect your family, this message will remind you of the fundamental truth that changes everything: there are no surprises with God.
