As if the title wasn't warning enough, we are going to talk about our Faith and how we believe God does call us to Prepare and what is lacking in the denominational church when it comes to helping others hear that call to prepare. Jason Hunt is the owner of Campcraft, LLC a survival outfitter and outdoor ministry located in Kentucky where he leads classes in wilderness survival, preparedness and wilderness medicine. He is also an instructor at The Pathfinder School and television host for both “Pathfinder TV” and “Campcraft with Jason Hunt”. You can learn more by visiting his website at www.campcraft.us Jason grew up in the outdoors of Southern Indiana engaging almost daily in what nature provided as a playground, but it wasn't until after a ten year stint as a pastor that he felt God call him back into the woods for what would be perhaps the greatest adventure of his life. Jason first received his training in survival from civilian and military experts by way of his martial arts experience which spans thirty years. Jason is the author of The End Times Christian and is host of the weekly television series Campcraft airing in Louisville, Kentucky.  Youtube: www.campcraft.tv 00:56:00Your Preparation StationnoBible,Preparedness,Prepare,Scripture,Distinguished AuthorListen to my interview with Jason Hunt, ThD as we discuss this Scriptural and Theological Topic9a6a8bd4-11a9-4988-93e0-bcb44a6e72b7http://www.blogtalkradio.com/your-preparation-station/2015/08/26/the-back-to-basics-kitchen--caring-for-and-using-cast-iron-cookwareCookinghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/your-preparation-station/2015/08/26/the-back-to-basics-kitchen--caring-for-and-using-cast-iron-cookware/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/your-preparation-station/2015/08/26/the-back-to-basics-kitchen--caring-for-and-using-cast-iron-cookwareWed, 26 Aug 2015 00:00:00 GMTThe Back to Basics Kitchen - Caring for and Using Cast Iron CookwareBrought to you by Millers Grain House In today's episode our hostess, Donna Miller shares some tips and tricks to speeding up the learning curve for using cast iron cookware.  From the hand me down from great, great grandma to the new one found at a flea market, cast-iron cookware has very specific needs and a unique care regimen.

As I think and prepare for my elderly years, gardening is not something I am willing to give up simply due to physical limitations and straw bale gardening sounds just like the ticket to keep at it! It is not only for the 'seasoned' gardener, as Joel puts it, but it is great for so many other circumstances and living environments. He is going to be one of the speakers you can learn from FOR FREE at the Home Grown Food Summit! (bit.ly/HomeGrownFoodSummit) But you'll want to register SOON . You'll see several people with whom you are likely familiar.

Can you do it?Can you buy nothing new for a year?  Can you make do and mend literally almost everything rather than replace it?  That is exactly what my guest, Jen Gale of My Make Do and Mend Year did! I had the joy of interviewing Jen for another radio show and I was thrilled when she agreed to be my guest yet again. She has such a great outlook it’s contagious! My thought process behind having Jen on is to help inspire you to do what you can NOW, train your brain, hands and heart to avoid the monster of planned obsolescence and over stimulated consumerism.  If our society were forced to give up these now common practices – how well do you feel you’d fare?  How well do you feel those around you, who are used to the conveniences and trappings of a disposable life fare?  I think this offers us a serious opportunity to search our skill set and life choices.  I feel Jen offers many ideas and hope for how resilient we can train ourselves to be!
