Members Preview | 844: Supernatural Survival in the Coming Beast System

<div>

<p>Jamie Walden joins Tony for a direct and practical conversation about preparedness, survival, and the responsibility Christians have to think ahead. Drawing from his background as a Marine Corps infantry sergeant and years of ministry work, Jamie explains why preparation is not rooted in fear but in wisdom, stewardship, and protecting the people God has placed in your care. He walks through the mindset shift believers need if systems fail, emphasizing community, skill-building, and the importance of developing resilient families and churches. The discussion also explores how modern comfort has weakened many people’s ability to endure hardship. Jamie argues that preparation begins with spiritual readiness, but it must also include practical planning and discipline. The goal, he says, is not isolation or paranoia, but building communities capable of standing firm and helping others when difficult times arrive.</p><p>Please <strong>pray</strong> for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
