When the world feels like it's spinning out of control with wars, economic instability, natural disasters, and political unrest happening simultaneously, how do you navigate the chaos without becoming paralyzed by fear? In this essential prepping guide, Todd tackles the overwhelming reality of living in a world where chaos everywhere seems to be the new normal, offering a practical framework that transforms anxiety into actionable preparedness. You'll discover the powerful difference between living in your "circle of concern" versus your "circle of influence" – a mindset shift that separates successful preppers from those who get stuck in doom-scrolling paralysis. This episode provides concrete strategies for both beginning and advanced preppers to focus their energy on what they can actually control, rather than drowning in worry about global events beyond their reach. Todd shares specific exercises you can implement immediately to identify your real concerns and convert them into practical action steps that build genuine preparedness confidence. Whether you're dealing with personal challenges like job insecurity or health issues on top of world events, this prepping guide shows you how to maintain mental clarity and take meaningful action. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear roadmap for staying informed without becoming overwhelmed, building real preparedness skills, and developing the fearless mindset that makes you a valuable resource for your family and community when chaos everywhere becomes the reality we all face.

Guest: Dr. Brian Bledsoe, University of GeorgiaWhen a hurricane makes landfall, we expect the strongest impacts to hit the coast. But Hurricane Helene proved that the story doesn't end there. With hurricane-force winds reaching more than 350 miles inland, this storm challenged the way we think about extreme weather risk. Are we truly prepared for the full reach of a hurricane, not just this decade but for centuries to come? Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Brian Bledsoe from the University of Georgia, who is an expert on infrastructure and making future building more resilient. There are many opportunities to build back better, smarter, and safer after these events happen, and hopefully strive to not have to rebuild in the same places over and over. From infrastructure challenges to communication gaps, we'll explore what needs to change to keep these communities—both coastal and inland—safe.Chapters00:00 Understanding Hurricane Helene's Impact04:58 Assessing Infrastructure Resilience15:11 Lessons Learned from Hurricane Helene28:02 Addressing Multiple Natural Disasters40:00 The Importance of Comprehensive Infrastructure PlanningSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Disaster preparedness is sort of an oxymoron. Disaster is the kind of indiscriminate calamity that only ever finds us ill-equipped to manage. And if you are truly prepared, you've probably averted disaster.There's a big difference between the impact of disaster on physical, material life—and its outsized impact on mental, emotional, and spiritual life.Personal disasters like a terminal illness, natural disasters like the recent fires that razed southern Californian communities, the impact of endless, senseless wars … these all cause a pain and physical damage that can be mitigated or rebuilt. But the worst of these cases threaten to destroy the very meaning of our lives.No wonder disaster takes such a psychological and spiritual toll. There's an urgent need to find or even make meaning from it. To somehow explain it, justify why God would allow it, and tell a grand story that makes sense from the senseless.These are difficult questions, and my guests today both have personal experience with disaster.

“Meaning making is so fundamental to who we are as humans, and when that's ruptured, it's devastating.” (Dr. Pam King, from this episode)“Spiritual fortitude is different from resilience … it helps us to realize that we still learn to live in the midst of suffering. … It helps us metabolize our suffering.” (Dr. Jamie Aten, from this episode)One of the hopeful things in the aftermath of the Los Angeles fires is how I have seen people within L.A. show up with and for each other. And I'm especially grateful for this audience because I know you are all people who care to show up with people, and for people. Thank you for being light in these hard times.And I was talking with Evan Rosa. The producer and host of For the Life of the World (Yale Center for Faith & Culture) about the turbulent times that we are experiencing in Los Angeles.And I was also speaking about experts who deal with trauma, disaster, psychological first aid, spiritual first aid, and also reflecting on my own experiences of watching the community around me evaporate. Evan had the great idea to invite me and Dr. Jamie Aten, the head of Wheaton's Humanitarian Disaster Institute, for an interview.And I think you'll resonate with a lot of the themes of this episode, even if you aren't living in the midst of a disaster.We all have challenges, and these are great moments to dig deep and live connected with each other and for each other in purposeful ways.So what follows is sharing our interview with Evan Rosa.
