Survival Punk | Ep485: Prepping Myths You Should Stop Believing

Every community has bad advice that gets repeated so often people start treating it like gospel. Prepping is no different. Today, I’m breaking down a couple of the biggest myths floating around Facebook groups and forums—the kind of nonsense that keeps people weak instead of making them stronger.

The Christian Prepper | Ep16: Why You're Making Bad Decisions | Guidance for Making Better Choices

Are your daily decisions leaving you with regret rather than results? In this episode, we explore why you might be making bad decisions and how to break free from destructive patterns using biblical wisdom and practical preparedness principles.

You'll discover how to stop letting fear and emotions dictate your preparedness decisions and instead create thoughtful, strategic plans that truly protect your family during emergencies.
