Are you truly prepared, or have you simply collected the appearance of preparedness? It's a question every faithful prepper needs to ask themselves honestly. The difference between having gear and being ready to use that gear could mean everything when it matters most.
In this truck ride episode, Todd addresses one of the most common and deceptive traps in the preparedness community—the allure of collecting. From downloading free survival books that never get read to ordering prepper gear that sits unopened in closets, many well-intentioned Christian preppers fall into a cycle of acquiring without truly preparing. Todd shares lessons learned from his own experience and explains why this pattern creates a dangerous false sense of security. Whether it's food storage you've never actually cooked with or equipment you've never tested, the gap between ownership and readiness could leave you vulnerable at the worst possible moment.
This episode challenges you to examine your own preparedness habits and offers a different approach—one that transforms collecting into genuine capability. If you're serious about being truly prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead, this conversation will change how you think about every future purchase and download.
