    Full disclosure: I grew up in the (white) Southern Baptist church, my early days with the fire and brimstone preachers, then progressing to the more moderate form. Skip a couple of decades and converted to Eastern Orthodox, and dove in deep for at least 4-5 years, being Christmated as “Onesimus”. Currently, I consider myself agnostic.

    That being said, anyone calling themselves Christian, “prepping” or not, would do themselves well to read or listen (in Joel’s own voice) to “The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs”. We all claim to walk our talk on the easy (or easily hidden) topics, but as Joel asks, when was the last time you heard a sermon on not how much you eat, but what you eat and how it was produced?

    Such a sermon, at least in my area, would likely bring to anger some of the most generous of congregational tithers, the industrial farmers.
