In this episode, you'll hear the story of a man who got trapped in the purple haze of life, only to see the light when God himself answered his prayer from the county jail. Listen in, as I share the story of a man who kicked his drug addiction to become a prepper and bestselling author of post-apocalyptic Christian novels.

Kentucky is the bourbon capital of the world. It's also where Mark Goodwin grew up, where he learned preparedness from the best--The Boy Scouts.

But he wasn't prepared for life's temptations after he got out of school. He made great money working bars and restaurants, but spent every nickel on partying. He may still be doing that today, but he received two loud and clear messages from above that forever changed his path in life.

Today, Mark is the host of the Prepper Recon podcast, and is a bestselling Kindle author of post-apocalyptic Christian novels. We discuss everything from prepping, preparedness and overcoming addiction to making money as a Kindle books author and modern homesteading.

If you're into modern homesteading, self-reliance, preparedness or self-sufficiency, grab some coffee and pull up a chair!
