Contra Radio Network

In this episode of the Christian Prepper podcast, we explore how believers should respond to fear while maintaining a preparedness mindset. Drawing wisdom from Jacob's journey in Genesis 32, we examine how he faced his fears when confronting his brother Esau after years of separation.
Just as Jacob balanced practical planning with heartfelt prayer, Christian preppers today must combine thoughtful preparation with unwavering faith.
For Christian preppers seeking to balance biblical faith with practical readiness, this episode offers spiritual encouragement that preparedness should lead to confidence rather than anxiety.

Ready to explore one of the most discussed scenarios in the prepping community? This week’s episode tackles EMP survival with a balanced perspective that every prepper needs to hear. Todd breaks down the science behind electromagnetic pulses, the three devastating phases that would impact everything from your smartphone to the national power grid, and what life would realistically look like in a post-EMP world.
While EMPs fall into the “possible but not probable” category, this deep dive reveals why understanding grid collapse scenarios builds universal preparedness skills that apply to more likely emergencies. From the first 24 hours of confusion to the long-term community survival strategies needed for true resilience, this episode will shift your thinking about what really matters in preparedness. Todd’s research-backed insights and honest assessment of EMP threats versus everyday preparedness priorities make this a must-listen for anyone serious about emergency readiness.

In this episode of the Christian Prepper podcast, Todd explores "bugging out" through the story of Jacob in Genesis 31.
Todd examines how Jacob, at God's direction, made the decision to leave his father-in-law Laban's household after years of mistreatment.
The episode draws important parallels between Jacob's experience and the Christian life, highlighting that there are seasons when God calls believers to make significant changes.
Beyond the spiritual application, Todd connects this biblical principle to practical preparedness, sharing his personal experience during Hurricane Harvey when he chose to "bug in" despite rising floodwaters while his neighbor evacuated.
While acknowledging that bugging in is often preferable, he emphasizes the importance of being ready to leave when necessary, maintaining bug-out bags, emergency binders, and essential valuables.

Good morning—James here from SurvivalPunk.com. Today’s episode is all about the five preps I actually use every single week. Not the “someday when the world ends” gear collecting dust in a bin—these are the tools that pull their weight in everyday life. If they’re in my kit, it’s because they’ve proven themselves over and over again.

In this Truck Ride episode, Todd reflects on a recent experience and our dependency on technology and electricity. After encountering a restaurant that completely shut down due to internet connectivity issues—unable even to open their cash register to accept payment—he reflects on the fragility of our interconnected systems.
The episode transitions into a deeper conversation about practical preparedness.
