To some, the term “prepper” may evoke a caricature of lunatic conspiracy theorists building bunkers and storing years of food and toilet paper. In his book Resilient Citizens, Dr. Chris Ellis dispels this stereotype in exchange for the term “resilient citizen” — a rational, faith-driven builder of strong homes and communities. Dr. Ellis explains the psychology behind preparedness, the decline of localism, and “The Four Horsemen” — Debt, Dirt, Debasement, and Death — which he counters with biblical solutions: Christ, Cohesion, Cultivation, and Sound Currency. Join Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew as they interview Dr. Ellis about his book and explore the reasons why being a resilient citizen isn’t just a good idea — it’s mandatory.
