Hey y'all, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast!
Let's talk about preparedness, not the kind you see on sensational TV shows or fear-driven social media, but the kind that grows from peace, purpose, and love. In this episode I'm sharing my thoughts on what it really means to be rooted and ready in a world that feels increasingly uncertain. We're talking food security, skill-building, and heart-centered home readiness—not panic, not hoarding, but stewardship and hope.

I've distanced myself from the word "prepper" for a long time because of what it's come to mean—but truthfully, I do believe in being prepared. Not with shelves full of stuff, but with dirt under your nails, knowledge in your heart, and the peace that comes from knowing you've stewarded well. Skills can't be bought—but they can be cultivated. Let's talk about how.

Take a deep breath, friend. Let's grow steady together.

If you've found encouragement here, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, where you can listen early and join our monthly Q&A.

As always—I bless you, until next time.
