Should every father be a prepper? Or should we just trust in God and "not care"?

Jeremy Pryor and his wife April discuss this topic, which he writes about in his new book, The Ruling Household.

Jeremy reads a section from one of the book's chapters, then discusses how to actually balance this tension that we have to hold as Christians, between being wise and preparing (even for generosity's sake) and trusting in God. There are a few steps, that if you break them down over the next 3, 5, or even 10+ years, will set your family up not only to survive a cataclysmic event, but to thrive and be generous with your neighbours.

In this episode, we talk about:

1:24 Every father, a prepper (from Jeremy's new book)

5:11 How to "build an ark" to prep for contingencies

14:15 The tension between preparing and trusting God

20:35 Assumption of stability has undermined the multigenerational family

23:36 The point is generosity

26:04 Turn it into an annual project with the kids
