Episode Details

What if the preps you've carefully gathered are quietly deteriorating while you go about your daily life? For Christian preppers who have invested time, resources, and prayer into building a solid foundation of preparedness, the sobering reality is that neglected supplies and unchecked systems can fail at the worst possible moment. From cracked food storage containers to outdated emergency binders to smoke alarms with dead batteries, your carefully assembled preps may not perform when you need them most. In this episode, Todd addresses a critical oversight that affects preppers at every experience level: the silent decay that happens when we treat preparedness as a one-time event rather than an ongoing stewardship responsibility. Drawing from real examples shared within the RYF exclusive email group, this discussion explores how even veteran preppers can lose track of the condition of their supplies simply because time moves faster than we realize. The solution isn't more gear or more food storage—it's a systematic approach to scheduling your preparedness activities so nothing falls through the cracks. If you're serious about taking care of your preps rather than just accumulating them, this episode offers a framework that ensures your investment in prepping actually serves you when circumstances demand it.
