What if the hardest thing standing between you and true preparedness isn't a gear gap or a supply shortage — but a decision you've been putting off?

In this devotional episode of the Christian Prepper Podcast, Todd draws from 1 Kings chapter 2 to explore one of the most overlooked dimensions of both faithful living and genuine preparedness: the courage to do hard things before a crisis forces your hand. Using the account of Solomon and Joab, this episode examines what it looks like when deferred decisions compound into inherited problems — and why Christian preppers who are serious about their mission can't afford to let procrastination masquerade as patience.

This isn't an episode about gear or logistics. It's about the kind of clear-headed, Spirit-led resolve that separates those who are truly prepared from those who are simply hoping things work out.

For the faithful prepper, doing hard things as a Christian isn't a detour from God's will — it may be the very road He's placed you on. Solomon's swift and decisive action in the face of unfinished business is a model for anyone who has been delaying a difficult conversation, avoiding a financial decision, or stalling on a vulnerability in their preparedness plan. Todd connects this ancient narrative directly to the real-world pressures Christian preppers face today, making the case that procrastination in preparedness is its own category of risk. If faith and hard decisions feel like they're in tension in your life right now, this episode will reframe that tension as a calling.
