“For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.” (Ephesians 6:15 NLT) The shoes that Paul described as part of the armor of God in Ephesians 6 do more than give believers the stability to maintain solid spiritual footing. They also provide mobility. These aren’t uncomfortable dress shoes that you walk carefully in so that you can keep them clean and unscuffed. These shoes allow you to move at a moment’s notice. The apostle Peter wrote, “If someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it” (1 Peter 3:15 NLT). In the original language, these words communicate the idea of giving a defense, as in a court of law. So, we should always be ready to give a defense of what we believe. We need to be ready at a moment’s notice to seize opportunities to share the gospel. The way to prepare ourselves, to “break in” the shoes that are part of our spiritual armor, is through practice. We can do that by studying and committing to memory Scripture passages that present the gospel message. The fresher these passages are in our minds, the more quickly we can access them when an opportunity arises. A good place to start our studying and memorizing is with passages such as John 3:16; John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8–9; Acts 2:38; and Romans 5:8. Another way to “always be ready to explain” our hope is to anticipate questions, objections, or concerns that people may have about the Christian faith. For example, someone may ask, “Don’t you think it’s narrow-minded to say that Jesus is the only way to God and eternal life?” If we’re prepared to answer the question before it’s asked, it may strengthen our credibility. A great way to anticipate such things is to think back to the questions, objections, or concerns we had before we became Christians. We can prepare ourselves by talking to other mature believers, drawing on their gospel-sharing experience. Christians who have been “in the trenches” can offer valuable guidance on how to approach people and what to say and what not to say. Some people say, “The Lord never opens up opportunities for me to share my faith.” I think He does, but we may not be paying attention. Opportunities are all around us. We just need to hone our skills in recognizing and seizing them. More than anything, we need to talk to people. In John 4, Jesus sat down with a woman at a well, asked her for a drink of water, began to converse with her, and transitioned into a spiritual conversation. That’s how it’s done. People will rarely will come knocking on our doors to ask what they must do to be saved. Generally, there will be other kinds of opportunities, but we need to have our spiritual antenna up, so to speak, and seize the moment when it comes. We need the spiritual shoes that allow us to move swiftly and efficiently in presenting the gospel. The armor of God is useful not only for holding our spiritual ground but also for gaining spiritual ground. We gain ground by walking through the doors of opportunity that God opens for us.

 Summary  In this insightful episode, Shellee from *Parents: Is Your Teen College Ready?* emphasizes the critical importance of early and strategic planning for college, advocating that families begin this process well before high school—ideally from preschool. She highlights that while families commonly plan for major life events like marriage, children, or retirement, very few have a clear plan for their child's educational future. Shellee categorizes families into four groups regarding college planning attitudes: denial, avoidance, do-it-yourself, or hiring an expert, urging parents to recognize their current stance and take action.  Shellee shares her personal experience raising her children with a strong emphasis on exploring interests and building foundational skills from an early age, exposing them to various environments, and encouraging leadership, service, and resilience. She stresses that middle school, particularly 8th grade, is the pivotal time to start serious academic and extracurricular planning since it sets the trajectory for high school success and college readiness.  The episode also covers the evolving landscape of college admissions, which has become more competitive and costly, making an informed and deliberate approach essential. Through detailed examples from her own family, Shellee illustrates that each child may follow a unique path, but with proper planning, all can graduate debt-free and find success aligned with their goals.  Lastly, she warns parents against common misconceptions—such as relying solely on schools, teenagers, or Google for college prep—and encourages early financial conversations and accountability. Shellee offers support through free resources and discovery calls, aiming to empower parents to confidently guide their children through the college planning process.   Highlights  Early planning for college should start as early as preschool, focusing on children's interests and future options rather than immediate college choices.  Middle school, especially 8th grade, is a critical period for academic and extracurricular decisions that impact high school and college readiness.  Each child's college journey is unique; a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works, but strategic, personalized planning leads to debt-free success.  Avoid common pitfalls: don't assume schools, teens, or the internet can handle college planning alone. Parental involvement is crucial.  Financial planning and early money conversations are essential to avoid surprises and ensure college affordability.  Exposure to diverse experiences like college visits, leadership, languages, and community service cultivates well-rounded, confident students.  The college admissions process has dramatically changed; it is now more competitive, expensive, and complex, requiring expert guidance.   Key Insights

Andy Campbell's story will stop you in your tracks.After surviving childhood sexual abuse, losing his mother to cancer, battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer (which he has now survived for nearly seven years against all odds), and enduring the devastating loss of his son to suicide, Andy has earned the right to speak about resilience in a way few others can.The most profound moment in our conversation comes when Andy describes his cancer diagnosis. Having watched his mother and three aunts die from cancer, he had spent years preparing for what he thought would be inevitable, only to be blindsided by pancreatic cancer instead. In that moment of complete helplessness, Andy discovered something unexpected: freedom. "The recognition that I had no control over it was probably the most freeing moment in my life," he shares.What sets this conversation apart is Andy's practical approach to resilience. He describes developing "core beliefs" that function like a computer's BIOS - fundamental operating instructions that kick in when all else fails. These beliefs, which he's compiled in his book "Overcoming Life's Toughest Setbacks," serve as a default network during times when clear thinking is impossible.Perhaps most moving is Andy's reason for sharing his story. Not to showcase his strength, but to reach someone who might be contemplating giving up. "I have been broken, I have been beaten, I have been down on my knees. Honest to God, some days I don't know how I'm still here, but if I can do it, you can do it."Visit askandycampbell.com to learn more about Andy's journey and his approach to transforming life's greatest challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

As severe weather events intensify across the country, practical preparedness has never been more crucial.The numbers don't lie. Already in 2025, we've experienced 1,400 confirmed tornadoes, vastly exceeding the 1,200 total from all of 2024. One outbreak alone claimed 28 lives in mid-May. Flash flooding has devastated communities from New Mexico to the Carolinas. Yet 90% of Americans still don't have a basic 72-hour emergency kit ready.Whether facing tornadoes with minimal warning or hurricanes with days of lead time, your response strategy must be tailored to the threat. For those in traditionally sturdy structures, sheltering in place during tornado warnings remains safest—but manufactured home residents must seek sturdier refuge. Hurricane evacuation requires planning multiple escape routes rather than relying on a single highway that will inevitably become congested when thousands flee simultaneously.Transportation preparedness deserves special attention. Maintain at least half a tank of fuel in your vehicles at all times, supplemented by safely stored fuel reserves at home. When Hurricane Hugo struck, evacuees drove as far as Boston seeking hotel rooms as accommodations filled hundreds of miles inland. Having predetermined evacuation destinations with family or friends provides security that last-minute planning cannot.Emergency food supplies represent another critical preparation component. While there's satisfaction in self-sufficiency practices like canning and freeze-drying, commercial emergency meals offer convenience that shouldn't be overlooked. The ideal approach combines both—maintaining home-preserved foods while supplementing with grab-and-go options for rapid evacuation scenarios.Don't wait until warnings blast across your phone to prepare. Developing multiple evacuation routes, maintaining adequate fuel, establishing distant safe havens, and preparing proper emergency kits today ensures you won't become another statistic when disaster strikes tomorrow.

In this episode of All Things Wildfire, host OP Almaraz sits down with Brad Sawyer and Robert Clemmons of Marsh & McLennan Agency to unpack the growing urgency of wildfire resilience. Together, they explore practical home hardening strategies, the power of community collaboration, and the often-overlooked complexities of the insurance claims process after a wildfire. Listeners will gain insight into how homeowners can take proactive steps to reduce risk, better understand their insurance policies, and improve their chances of recovery post-disaster. The discussion wraps with a strong call to action—resilience isn't optional, it's essential. Show Notes Highlights: Wildfires as Wake-Up Calls: Recent wildfire events have highlighted the urgent need for communities to act before disaster strikes. Home Hardening Musts: Learn how features like ember-resistant vents, non-combustible materials, and defensible space can dramatically reduce wildfire risk. Insurance Gaps & Misconceptions: Many homeowners are unaware of what's actually covered—understanding your policy is critical. The Claims Process: Why documentation matters and how being unprepared can delay or reduce your claim. The Role of Community: Fire resilience goes beyond individual homes—neighborhoods that collaborate are safer. Preparedness is Prevention: Investing in wildfire prevention today means fewer losses tomorrow. Education is Lacking: Despite growing threats, awareness and understanding of wildfire preparedness remain low. Key Takeaways: Wildfires should be a trigger for action, not reaction. Home hardening and defensible space are foundational to fire resilience. Don't wait until disaster hits—document home contents now. Know your policy. Know your risk. Community-wide strategies are the future of wildfire prevention.

Prepping isn't about paranoia—it's about clarity. This article breaks down the most common blind spots in preparedness and how to fix them with real-world risk management. The post Why Most Preppers Miss the Real Threats appeared first on Mind4Survival.

In 2025, let's be honest, there's threats that we face in our daily lives that we can realistically prepare for. However, in the same token, there's a limit to how far that preparation can carry us. From emerging technologies, geopolitical turmoil, to the potential for civil unrest growing seemingly by the day, there's a lot out there. Far more to account for than certainly any one of us can alone, and even in a group limits to what can be accomplished. In this discussion I do my best to shine a light on what truly "being prepared" means, and I don't even get to everything. My goal was to draw connections between our daily lives and concerns, the training interests which fuel many of our passions, and the real world threats that exist, which many of us miss, or have as a gap in our planning.Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comOne Hundred Concepts - www.onehundredconcepts.com

This week, David Wallace-Wells is back on the show for a wide-ranging conversation on the climate crisis unfolding in 2025. I was struck by David's recent essay, “We Can Adapt and Prepare for Floods. But Will We?” in the wake of the horrific flooding in Texas. As David explains, the climate disasters we face today are increasingly unpredictable and widespread, challenging our traditional understanding of what our climate risks are where they can happen. Despite the rising frequency and cost of these disasters, David notes that increasingly it appears that our most commons response is largely to normalize these events. He suggests that instead of being jolted into action, we are adapting to these new realities mostly by just accepting it as inevitable.  In this conversation, we also discuss a number of other recent events, from the repeal of major parts of the Inflation Reduction Act to budget cuts to federal services to China's big clean energy in push in recent years. It's wide-ranging and the kind of fascinating talk you can always expect when David joins the show. David Wallace-Wells is the New York Times essayist, best-selling science writer and author of The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. His subscriber-only newsletter he explores climate change, technology, the future of the planet and how we live on it.

In chapters 24 and 25 of Matthew we have "The Olivet Prophecy". The first of these chapters is today's reading and centres on signs answering the three questions of verse 3. Chapter 25 is more about readying ourselves for our Lord's return. Note the link to the end of chapter 23. The leprous house was to be thrown down stone by stone. Disciples would be confused by claims made by false Messiahs and these would be accompanied by betrayal and persecution. A great sign to believers would be the desolation of Israel caused by the Roman invasion which had been foretold by Moses in Deuteronomy 28 and to Daniel in his ninth chapter. Opportunity would be provided for disciples to flee; this happened as Robert Roberts pointed out in "Ways of Providence" on five occasions. But those failing to heed Jesus' warnings would perish in the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple. The "Sign of the Son of Man in heaven" related to the presence of Rome's armies in the incipient fulfilling of those words and later, to a larger degree, to the restoration of the state of Israel. Next followed the parable of the fig tree (representative of Israel), and tells us why desolation had to come. Despite the signs none could know exactly when. Preparedness would be essential and disciples need to be ready by demonstrating patience by two traits - wisdom and faithfulness (verse 45). Chapter 25, in tomorrow's readings, will explain this through parables.

Beth Cameron, Senior Advisor and Professor of the Practice at the Brown University Pandemic Center and a Senior Adviser and non-resident fellow at CSIS, hosts this inspiring July 14 conversation with Richard Hatchett, the CEO of CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. Richard first came to Washington DC in the aftermath of 9/11 to create the U.S. Medical Reserve Corps. There was no looking back. He served in several administrations as a leading expert in bio preparedness and left government to lead CEPI at its creation in 2017, its mission to support the accelerated development of vaccines and other countermeasures against future biothreats. With the Covid-19 pandemic, health security has become an enduring global concern, with now a fierce focus on access to new technology, and regional manufacturing capabilities. “You have to design your programs with your access goal in mind from the very beginning,”  Preparedness is “not a static achievement.” It is “a dynamic state of readiness” that evolves through practice – “train, train, train.”  CEPI's signature big idea is the 100 Day Mission, in which vaccine designs and delivery platforms are ready to spring into action when new biothreats appear.  Cuts in finances and programs by the Trump administration and others will compromise disease surveillance, detection and containment measures, increasing the risks to Americans and beyond.  Cuts are also forcing reflection, the setting of priorities, and finding ways to finance and achieve better and more efficient outcomes. The remarkable speed in which a vaccine was introduced during the Marburg outbreak in Rwanda in September 2024 rested not on luck. It built on CEPI's pre-existing partnerships with the Rwanda government and several other institutions, including WHO and key US agencies.  CEPI has invested since 2017 in over $1 billion in the US biotech sector, and has just concluded an agreement to work with DOD.

In this community health episode, host Janet Michael dives into the pressing issue of heat stroke, featuring expert insights from Dr. Greg Byrd, who practices internal medicine at Valley Health Shenandoah Memorial Hospital MultiSpecialty Clinic. With heat waves becoming increasingly common, understanding how to prevent, recognize, and respond to heat stroke is more critical than ever. Dr. Byrd explains that heat stroke is a severe medical condition characterized by an elevated core body temperature and central nervous system dysfunction, which could manifest as confusion, delirium, or seizures. This condition is a true medical emergency with a high mortality rate. The body's natural cooling mechanisms—primarily blood vessel dilation and sweating—can become overwhelmed in high temperatures, especially when humidity is also high. There are two main types of heat stroke: exertional and non-exertional. Exertional heat stroke typically affects young, active individuals, such as athletes and military personnel engaged in intense physical activity. Non-exertional heat stroke primarily impacts the elderly, very young children, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic medical conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Certain medications and substances, such as alcohol and cocaine, can also increase the risk. To mitigate the risk, it's crucial to stay hydrated. Dr. Byrd emphasizes that men should consume about 3.7 liters of fluids daily, while women should aim for 2.7 liters. It's important to recognize the early signs of heat exhaustion, which can progress to heat stroke. The key is to monitor urine color; darker urine indicates dehydration. If someone shows symptoms of heat stroke, such as acting confused or delirious, immediate actions should be taken to cool them down and call 9-1-1. Dr. Byrd advises on several effective cooling techniques: immersing the person in a tub of ice and water, using cool mist fans, or placing ice packs on their body. If these resources are unavailable, even pouring cold beverages over them can help. Quick action can be lifesaving. Everyone, particularly those attending outdoor social events, should be aware of the dangers of heat stroke. Vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly, young children, and those with chronic illnesses, must be closely monitored. Social isolation can exacerbate risks, highlighting the importance of community vigilance. Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Preparedness and awareness can significantly reduce risks and save lives. As we continue to face extreme temperatures, being informed and proactive is our best defense. Dr. Byrd's expertise offers valuable guidance for staying safe and healthy in the heat.

I'll never forget the moment my co‑host Bruce Wehner shared a powerful story: Nelson told his wife, Mary, “I need to teach you how to be a widow.” That striking phrase stopped us in our tracks. It wasn't morbid—it was strategic. Nelson recognized that spouse financial preparedness is the cornerstone of true legacy planning. If your partner isn't prepared to manage finances when the unthinkable happens, your careful planning unravels—and unintentional burdens form. https://www.youtube.com/live/bVBMnWHGp1Y In today's fast-paced world, talking about money can be uncomfortable. But taking the time to ensure spouse financial preparedness isn't just responsible—it's transformative. As Rachel Marshall and Bruce Wehner, co-hosts of The Money Advantage Podcast, we're here to walk you through why preparing your spouse is crucial, and how to do it effectively. By reading this article, you'll discover: What “financial preparedness” truly means The critical pieces every spouse should know Practical tools we use with clients How to handle emotional differences in money habits A step-by-step framework to empower your spouse today Why Spouse Financial Preparedness MattersKey Areas for Spouse PreparednessIncome Plans—Now & ContingencyTaxes, Medicare & Social SecurityInsurance & ProtectionDigital Access & Password SharingEngaging Trusted AdvisorsThe LIFE Financial FrameworkManaging Emotional DifferencesTools & Rituals for PreparednessEquip Your Spouse. Protect Your Legacy.Book A Strategy Call Why Spouse Financial Preparedness Matters Bruce and I often see one partner “in the dark.” The hardworking spouse makes decisions—but the other may trust blindly, unaware of details. That puts them at risk—be it missing advisors' phone numbers, not understanding insurance coverage, or worse: being blindsided by critical decisions. One case Bruce shared involved a wife who thought their net worth was minor—only to discover $30 million after her spouse had passed. Imagine the emotional shock—and legal busyness. That's why spouse financial preparedness is a legacy necessity, not an optional extra. Key Areas for Spouse Preparedness To be truly ready, your spouse needs awareness and access across five areas: Income Plans—Now & Contingency Your spouse should understand both your current income strategy and what happens financially if one partner isn't there. Bruce calls it having a “backup income plan.” Ask: what if I retire early? What if one income stops? Taxes, Medicare & Social Security One spouse passing makes tax filing switch to “single,” which can raise Medicare Part B and D costs by up to $500/month. Understanding IRMA brackets and how Social Security survivor benefits work is vital. A spouse who knows the rules won't fall prey to unexpected costs. Insurance & Protection Life is unpredictable. Couples need clarity on life, health, disability, home, auto, liability—and how they work together. A clear policy keeps your spouse empowered and protected. Digital Access & Password Sharing In today's digital age, locked-out accounts are a nightmare. Did you know iPhone allows a “Legacy Contact”? A shared password vault ensures your partner can access bank, utilities, email—and even that mysterious password for your favorite travel site. Engaging Trusted Advisors Make sure your spouse knows and trusts your financial, legal, insurance, and tax advisors. Ideally, they attend meetings together or at least meet face-to-face. That ensures seamless transition—and peace of mind—should something happen. The LIFE Financial Framework Bruce and I use a powerful acronym—L.I.F.E.—to frame preparedness: Liquid: How much cash is needed within minutes for emergencies? Income: Do you want fixed guaranteed income to cover essentials, plus variable funds for lifestyle? Flexible: Which assets can be repositioned for other goals—travel, education, emergencies?
