What happens when the faithful stay silent while a vocal few reshape the world around them? In this thought-provoking episode, Todd examines a pattern that Christian preppers cannot afford to ignore—how small, loud minorities consistently move culture, policy, and community standards while the majority sits quietly on the sidelines, assuming everything will work out. From workplace dynamics to online communities, the evidence is clear: silence is not neutrality, and those who value faith, family, and preparedness are often the ones least likely to speak up when it matters most. This episode challenges the silent majority mindset that has left many Christian preppers watching from the sidelines as the things they value erode around them. Todd shares real-world examples of how strategic, kind, and purposeful communication can create meaningful change—and why coming to the table with respect rather than hostility opens doors that aggressive tactics never will. More importantly, he pushes listeners to take an honest inventory of their own values and consider where their voice might be needed in their church, community, workplace, or beyond. For preppers who understand that true preparedness extends beyond stockpiles and skills, this episode delivers an essential reminder: knowing what you value and being willing to stand for it is fundamental to the Christian prepper lifestyle. The next time you see a vocal minority pushing against something you hold dear, consider whether your silence is serving your family, your faith, and your future—or working against them.

In Episode 111 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. Iran is on fire, Venezuela is trying to find their bearings, DARPA weapons, and more. 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 takes a look at the noise emanating from Minneapolis calling for a second civil war. He then closes the show reviewing two articles dealing with low budge projects and quick growing garden items.

You may have stocked your shelves and assembled your gear, but have you honestly assessed where you stand as a prepper heading into 2026? In this candid conversation, Todd sits down with longtime preparedness thought leader Paul Martin to confront an uncomfortable truth facing the preparedness community: too many preppers have grown complacent, mistakenly believing that political outcomes or the absence of recent catastrophe somehow insulate them from what's coming. The data tells a different story, and both Todd and Paul have watched this pattern repeat across election cycles and quiet years alike. If your commitment to preparedness rises and falls with headlines or who occupies the White House, this episode delivers the reality check you need. Paul and Todd examine the current landscape of prepping in 2026, exploring why serious preppers must shift their focus from predicting the next big event to building genuine resilience that transcends any single scenario. They discuss what separates those who are truly prepared from the "throw it in the closet just in case" crowd, why community has become the missing link in most preparedness plans, and how the preparedness community can move beyond consuming content to taking meaningful action. From evaluating your actual inventory to building networks within walking distance of your home, this conversation offers the strategic perspective that seasoned preppers and newcomers alike need to hear. Whether you've been preparing for decades or are just recognizing that self-reliance is non-negotiable, this episode challenges you to move beyond passive accumulation toward purposeful readiness. The fundamentals discussed here are universal, applicable whether the disruption comes from natural disaster, economic instability, or geopolitical conflict. The time to assess your gaps, test your systems, and build your local network is now, while supplies are available and you have the luxury of thoughtful preparation rather than panicked reaction.

This episode isn't about breaking news or hot takes. By the time you hear this, you already know the headlines. What I care about — and what preppers should care about — is what it means when governments suddenly move fast, decisively, and with coordination.

Discover the shocking truth about the government's plan to make you dependent. In this video, we expose the hidden agenda behind the government's policies and how they are designed to control and manipulate the population. From economic manipulation to social engineering, we delve into the ways in which the government is working to create a culture of dependency. Learn how to break free from the cycle of dependency and take back control of your life. Watch until the end to understand the government's plan and how you can protect yourself and your loved ones. This video is a must-watch for anyone who wants to stay informed and awake in a world where the truth is often hidden.

Are you allowing the opinions and expectations of others to dictate the most critical decisions in your life—both spiritually and practically? In a world where voices constantly compete for your attention, telling you what to prioritize, what to fear, and what to ignore, faithful preppers must learn to tune out the noise and take ownership of their own path. This episode examines a powerful biblical account that reveals what happens when we refuse to let the crowd determine our course of action. Todd explores the story of blind Bartimaeus from Luke 18, a man who refused to be silenced despite stern warnings from those around him. Through this passage, we uncover essential principles for making godly decisions that align with your faith and your preparedness responsibilities. The episode addresses why so many believers allow external pressures—whether social stigma, family skepticism, or cultural mockery—to derail their prepper decisions, and what it truly means to take personal responsibility for your household's readiness. You'll discover why clarity and intentional planning must replace reactive, trend-driven prepping. For Christian preppers serious about their calling, this devotional challenges you to stop outsourcing your decision-making to others who may not share your values or understand your mission. These principles aren't optional add-ons to your preparedness lifestyle—they're foundational to becoming someone who leads rather than follows when circumstances demand decisive action.

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.

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.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and today we're talking about something that quietly scares the hell out of people once they actually experience it: how fragile the healthcare system feels when you're the one stuck dealing with it.

In Episode 109 of The Kershner Files, we explore today's fast-paced world, the values of self-reliance, preparedness, and faith as they remain as important as ever. For the conservative, God-fearing man, these principles are not just ideals but rather, a way of life.

Think you're prepared for 2026? Before you answer, consider this: when was the last time you actually verified that your preps are still viable and your plans still make sense? In this episode, Todd Sepulveda kicks off the new year with a comprehensive look back at 2025's major events—both the headlines that dominated the news cycle and the ones you may have already forgotten—and examines what they reveal about the challenges preppers should anticipate moving forward. This episode goes beyond year-in-review territory to deliver practical guidance for the year ahead. Todd shares insights from his most downloaded content of 2025, discusses critical infrastructure concerns that should be on every prepper's radar, and outlines a three-part framework for approaching preparedness in 2026. You'll be challenged to examine whether you actually have what you think you have, whether your plans account for second and third level effects, and whether you're balancing readiness with actually living your life. As we enter a year that's already proving unpredictable, this episode provides the reset serious preppers need. The skills discussed here aren't theoretical—they're the fundamental practices that separate those who are genuinely prepared from those who simply believe they are.

Good morning, this is James from SurvivalPunk.com, and today we're doing something every prepper should do once in a while: a hard look in the rearview mirror. Not nostalgia. Not doom. Just an honest assessment of what actually hit people in 2025 and why so many folks feel worn down even though nothing “collapsed.” Because 2025 wasn't a disaster year — but it absolutely was a pressure year.

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.

In Ep4, we take some time and work our way through a grid failure as a result of our heavily divided national politics and the powder keg we're all sitting on waiting for the next wave of civil unrest. We've all seen this scenario play out. Some of you may have even survived it. The Summer of Love on 2020 and the assortment of ICE protests in 2025 as the most recent examples… and it's always the same. It starts with a protest. A crowd gathers downtown — angry, loud, frustrated about one thing or another. Police form a line. Someone throws a bottle. Someone else lights a flare. There's spitting and shouting… smoke bombs, tear gas, and non-lethal measures deployed. Within minutes, the protest becomes a riot. Within hours, the riot becomes a citywide emergency. And by nightfall, the governor has activated the National Guard. But this isn't one city. It's not one issue. It's happening in dozens of places at once — each with its own spark, its own grievances, its own momentum. And as the unrest spreads, something becomes clear: This isn't a moment. It's a fracture. A sign that the political fabric of the nation is tearing — and no one knows how far the tear will go.

In Episode 108 of The Kershner Files, Dave starts the show by talking through some current event/headlines and the current spot prices for gold and silver.

What if the very thing that sets Christian preppers apart from everyone else isn't the gear we stockpile or the skills we develop, but the certainty of knowing where we ultimately end up? The unknown terrifies many in the preparedness community, driving endless acquisition and anxiety-fueled planning. But the Bible offers something far more grounding than any supply cache ever could. In this episode, Todd walks through one of Scripture's most powerful prophecies, tracing the promise of "God with us" from the anxious days of King Ahaz through the birth of Christ and into the eternal reality described in Revelation. Along the way, he unpacks why understanding biblical prophecy isn't just theological exercise but essential perspective for anyone serious about preparedness. When Christian preppers grasp where their story ends, it fundamentally changes how they approach every emergency, every uncertainty, and every fear that the world throws their way. If you've ever found yourself overwhelmed by all the potential scenarios you're trying to prepare for, this episode offers the recalibration your preparedness mindset may need. True readiness isn't just about surviving what comes next—it's about knowing who you belong to and where you're headed when all is said and done. Resources Get Prepper Tips in Your Email!

Today, we're shifting to another pillar of modern civilization: **the economy**. Most Americans think of the economy as something abstract — stock tickers, interest rates, inflation numbers. But the truth is simple: The economy is the system that moves food, fuel, medicine, and money. When it breaks, everything breaks. This episode is about how economic collapse happens, what it looks like on the ground, and how ordinary Americans can prepare for the shockwaves that follow.

In this shocking exposé, we delve into the disturbing trend of infiltrators spying on churches, gun clubs, and veteran organizations. These seemingly safe spaces are being targeted by individuals and groups with ulterior motives, posing a significant threat to the privacy and security of their members. From undercover operatives to cyber snoops, we'll explore the various methods being used to gather intelligence and compromise the trust of these communities. Join us as we shed light on this alarming phenomenon and discuss the implications for freedom of speech, assembly, and association. With expert insights and real-life examples, this video aims to raise awareness and prompt a call to action to protect these vital institutions from the prying eyes of infiltrators. Whether you're a devout churchgoer, a gun enthusiast, or a veteran, this video is a must-watch for anyone concerned about their rights and freedoms. If you're into preparedness, liberty, and keeping your community safe, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

As the year winds down, it's the perfect time to pause and honestly evaluate your preparedness journey. In this episode, I share three powerful reflection questions designed to help you examine what truly moved the needle in your preps this year—and what might have been little more than busy work. If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels or wonder if your efforts are focused on the right things, this conversation is for you as you start prepping in 2026! I also tackle a tough topic that might ruffle some feathers: the difference between preparing for probable scenarios versus fantasy-level events. The truth is, if most of your energy goes toward that one catastrophic possibility, you might be ignoring the everyday disruptions that are far more likely to affect you. Plus, I close out with a quote from Albert Einstein that perfectly captures why preparedness isn't just about you—it's about the people whose lives depend on your readiness. Listen to the episode to hear all three reflection questions and start your year with clarity. Topics Covered Why the holiday season is an ideal time for preparedness reflection The danger of settling into a rut with your preparedness efforts The current feeling that “everyone and everything seems on edge” heading into 2026 How threat assessment should evolve with experience rather than staying static The “fantasy prepping” trap and why it keeps people from building real resilience How preparing for common events (hurricanes, storms) covers most of what you actually need Reflection Questions from this Episode Looking back at the beginning of this year, what was your biggest preparedness concern, and does that same concern still top your list today or has your perspective shifted? When you think about the preparedness actions you took this year, which single step gave you the most genuine peace of mind, and which ones felt more like busywork in retrospect? What percentage of your preparedness efforts this year went toward planning for unlikely catastrophic events versus building capacity for the likely disruptions you actually face regularly?

Picture this… you're in a quiet room. There's no hum, no appliances, no HVAC fans and blowers…. just…. silence. It's almost imperceptible… you've had a long day at work and just want some peace and quiet before the children get home or the spouse get s home and you almost miss it. The refrigerator stops humming. The air conditioner cuts out. Your phone won't connect. You check the breaker panel — everything looks normal. Then you step outside. Your neighbors are standing in their driveways, confused. Cars won't start. The radio is dead. The entire horizon is dark.  And yet, there have been no alerts, No explanation…. There's just… silence. And in that silence, a realization settles in: The grid is down and you know it's not going to be down for minutes or hours… but for good. ---------- Today we're starting with the backbone of modern civilization: the electrical grid.  It's the system that powers everything — water, fuel, food distribution, hospitals, communications, transportation, and the economy itself. And it's also one of the most fragile, aging, and over‑stressed systems in the United States. This episode is about how the grid can fail, why it's more vulnerable than most people realize, and what life looks like when the lights go out and don't come back on. Let's get into it.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and today's episode is a little different. This one isn't about gear, food buckets, or backup power. It's about something just as important for survival, especially when things feel shaky: keeping traditions alive.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it's one of those cold, gray mornings where power outages feel just a little too plausible. Today's episode tackles a question a lot of people quietly stress about but don't get good answers on: how do you do real backup power when you live in an apartment or rental?

What invisible threats are you unknowingly bringing into your home, your vehicle, and your preparedness supplies every single day? For Christian preppers focused on stockpiling food, water, and gear, it's easy to overlook one of the most fundamental vulnerabilities in any survival plan—your own health. When illness strikes, every carefully laid plan becomes exponentially harder to execute, and in a true crisis scenario, medical care may be limited or unavailable entirely. In this episode, Todd draws from over two decades of personal experience to discuss the often-underestimated importance of germ awareness and practical hygiene habits for preppers. From lessons learned as a first-year teacher to navigating COVID and current flu season concerns, this conversation addresses why being careful with germs isn't paranoia—it's wisdom. You'll hear real-world examples of how simple, consistent habits can serve as your first line of defense against the kind of illness that could sideline you when your family needs you most. For those serious about preparedness, maintaining your health through intentional practices like washing your hands and staying aware of what you touch isn't optional—it's foundational. Whether flu season is in full swing or you're thinking ahead to potential grid-down scenarios where medical resources are scarce, this episode offers perspective every faithful prepper needs to consider.

In this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked privacy vulnerabilities — your email address. That single piece of digital identity connects your banking, shopping, social media, and even government records. If your email isn't private, nothing else truly is. Forrest breaks down why your inbox is the #1 gateway for data collection, surveillance, and hacking attempts — and how to protect it. You'll learn how major tech companies use email data to build marketing profiles, how data brokers trace every online registration back to you, and why “free” email accounts come at the cost of your personal freedom. He walks you through practical solutions — from alias-based addresses and encrypted email providers to domain masking, burner accounts, and password segmentation. Forrest explains how to layer your communications using services like ProtonMail, StartMail, and SimpleLogin, and why separating your real identity from your digital one is the cornerstone of modern privacy. At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches these same principles step-by-step inside his Privacy & Security Masterclass, where students learn to disappear from the internet, reclaim their privacy, and protect their family's information from corporate and government surveillance. Because privacy and security are freedom — and it all starts with securing your inbox.

I discuss the thumbnail sketches of US military failure since the end of WWI and try to elucidate some of the reasons for the failure and the existential threat this cavalcade of calamities is to 21st century America if the ship of state doesn't reverse course. This a a dangerous time for America to continue its bad habits of wars of choice and allowing its intelligence organizations and their cutout mischief-makers to poke the bear and create black swan events out of whole cloth. America boasts a magnificent 20th century war machine not fit for purpose for 21st century peer warfare. The crossroads is chock-full of landmines.

Do you have everything in its place—your gear organized, your plans made, your supplies stocked—yet still find yourself anxious about what might come? For Christian preppers, there's a tension between doing the hard work of preparedness planning and truly resting in the sovereignty of God. This episode tackles that tension head-on, exploring what it really means to have it all locked down when the One who sits on the throne already holds everything in the palm of His hand. Todd walks through powerful scripture. This isn't about future authority; it's present reality. For those serious about preparedness, this changes everything about how we approach our prepper gear, our emergency plans, and the inevitable moments when those plans fail us. This is essential perspective for any Christian prepper who wants to be truly prepared, not just physically, but spiritually grounded in the One who has it all locked down.

Good morning, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and we're continuing the Christmas run with something that hits harder than anything you can grab off a shelf: DIY, homemade Christmas gifts.

What would you do if the power went out tonight and it was below freezing? Most people don't think about it until they're already shivering, but having a solid plan for staying warm during a winter power outage is one of the most important preps you can make. In this episode, Todd breaks down multiple heating alternatives—from backup heat sources to clever low-tech solutions—and shares personal stories from his own experiences with Winter Storm Uri. Whether you have a wood stove, a propane heater, or absolutely nothing, there's something here for you. But this episode goes beyond just heating methods. Todd discusses strategic thinking that most people overlook: which room to choose, how to maximize the heat you do have, when it's time to leave your home, and how to turn a scary situation into a training opportunity for your family. If you live anywhere that gets cold, this is an episode you can't afford to skip. [00:00] Why losing power in freezing temperatures shifts from inconvenience to life-threatening emergency—and what most people get wrong about how to stay warm and their preparedness. [02:32] The truth about propane heaters: Todd shares a surprising tip about using a fan that most Little Buddy owners never consider. [07:07] How one family survived Christmas Eve when their furnace died—using nothing but quilts, strategic room selection, and a simple door trick. [09:11] The candle experiment that shocked Todd: a group home story reveals how small flames can change room temperature faster than you'd expect. [19:13] Stranded in the cold: the incredible survival story of a father who kept his family of six alive for two days after their Jeep flipped in the Nevada wilderness. [23:36] The “pre-heat your house” strategy: a counterintuitive move that could buy you hours of comfort before the power even goes out. [28:31] The danger signs you need to recognize: Todd explains when staying home becomes more dangerous than braving the elements to find warmth elsewhere.
