Encouragement from Scripture 00:15:05
Hello and welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show coming to you from the village of Morningside, USA, nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains.
Today our special guests are owners of Ark Heirloom Seeds, Morgan and Alex Mitchell.
Our co-host today is Reverend Mondo de la Vega.
And now, live from Cray Street at Morningside, USA, here's your host, Pastor Ricky Baker.
Hello, friends.
You're watching the PTL Television Network.
We're glad you've tuned in with us today.
If you have your Bible, open it up.
We're going to be reading out of 1 Peter chapter 4.
And we're going to be talking about something that's important, friends.
We have seen around the world globally, there has been Christian suffering.
I'm going to give you a quick synopsis of what we're preaching about on Sunday.
And so I said, you know, I'm going to be talking about Christian suffering.
She goes, why do you always have to talk about suffering?
It's been like my theme for like the last six weeks.
I said, because it all boils down to be a good thing.
We count it all as joy, you know.
But friends, in 1 Peter chapter 4, verse 12 right here, it says, dear friends, don't be surprised when the fiery ordeal comes upon you to test you as if something unusual were happening to you.
Instead, rejoice as you share in the suffering of Christ, so that you may also rejoice with great joy when his glory is revealed.
If you are ridiculed for the name of Christ, you are blessed because the spirit of glory in God rests on you.
Let no one suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or a meddler.
But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in having that name.
For the time has come for judgment to begin with God's household.
And if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who disobey the gospel of God?
And if a righteous person is saved with difficulty, what will become of an ungodly and the sinner?
So then, let those who suffer according to God's will entrust themselves to a faithful creator while doing what is good.
Friends, don't be worried whenever a fiery ordeal comes on you.
We see in Daniel chapter 3, we see a Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego bound up, tied, thrown into a fire.
And friends, I want to encourage you.
The king stood up and he looked and he said, didn't we throw three men bound into the fire?
He says, why do I see four men walking around free?
Friends, I promise you, through your fiery ordeal, the Holy Spirit is with you.
Through your trial, God is with you.
Through your circumstance of heaviness, Jesus is with you.
He's walking with you.
He is that fourth man in the fire for you.
And the most encouraging thing about that, Mondo, is that Jesus was with them.
He saved them.
But it says that he threw them into the fire bound.
And when the king saw them, they are walking around unbound.
Friends, what will burn is what binds you whenever you're walking in the will of what God has for you.
So when the fiery ordeal comes for you, friends, we should count it all as joy, knowing that we don't just suffer in vain.
We're not suffering for nothing.
We're suffering towards something, believer.
We have a finish line.
And Luke chapter 21 makes it very clear that those who endure to the end, those who cross that finish line, will gain their lives, believer.
We want you to gain your lives.
We care about more of your eternal position than we do your temporary happiness.
I want you to make sure that you are eternally secured in Jesus Christ.
That may mean you have to get rid of a few things in your life that you've always done.
That may mean you have to talk a little different than you've always talked.
You have to act a little different.
You have to walk a little different than you've always walked.
But believer, your eternal position is vastly more important than your temporary happiness, than your temporary satisfactions, friends.
I am, you know, I love that we are on the Jim Baker show.
Been tried to be censored so many times, but they can't censor the gospel.
I'm going to get a bumper sticker that says that you can't censor the gospel.
Friends, there's not enough drugs in the world you can take to make you happy.
There's not enough sex in the world you can have to make you happy.
There's not enough external circumstances outside of the house of God that can fulfill that gap in your heart.
The only thing that can fulfill the gap in your heart, believer, I promise you this, is Jesus Christ in a relationship with Him.
If you haven't given your heart to Jesus, there's never been a better day.
Today is that day.
You can call our number.
We'd love to pray the salvation prayer with you.
It's 1-888-988-1588.
We have an operator standing by.
They can pick up that phone call and they can walk you through the steps of salvation.
Believer, this will be the best choice you have ever made in your entire life.
It is the most critical choice you will ever make in your entire life because this choice you're about to make by picking up that phone and calling that number will put you in a spot for eternity.
Because, believer, there is a very real heaven where God wants to spend eternity with you.
And there is a very real hell, which is the absence of the presence of God, friends.
I want you to spend eternity in heaven with the one who sent his son to die for you on a cross, believer.
Call our number.
It's 1-888-988-1588.
You know, Mondo, a lot of questions have been asked over the last few decades, the last, you know, it feels like the last century.
We've been talking about the issue of aliens.
We've been talking about now over the last few years, the issue of AI, the issue of the Antichrist.
Friends, the church should have the answer for all these questions.
If there is a question that arises, the body of Christ should be the first ones with an answer.
Why?
Because we have the answers right here.
We have everything we need in this 66-book love letter that has been written and given to us.
And thank God it has, because this is our, what did you say the other day?
What did the Bible stand for?
I won't put you on the spot, but you said it.
You said something.
I forgot what he said about it.
Basic instructions before leaving earth.
Amen.
Our basic instructions before leaving earth, the Bible.
And that's what this is: a blueprint of how we're supposed to walk, talk, and act.
But also, this has the answers to all the questions.
Friends, we're going to be asking hard questions at our Ready Now Expo conference.
We're going to be getting those hard questions answered by subject matter experts from a biblical perspective.
And that's the key about that, friends.
It's not a worldview perspective.
It's not an opinion based off of some things that I came up with, off some scientific evidence that I couldn't show you.
This is biblical perspective on what the Bible has to say about aliens and if they're real or if they're not real, AI and if it plays a role in our lives today, and the Antichrist.
Is that a metaphorical figure, a real figure?
Is it something that we have to worry about in our lifetime, friends?
That's going to be our Ready Now Expo conference 2025.
I want you to watch this and take the opportunity to go to readynowexpo.com and sign up for this free event in person or watch online.
Is the Antichrist alive right now?
Because when he comes, he's coming.
You will have all been prepared.
The hearts are ready.
All prepared for his revelation.
Will artificial intelligence control our lives?
With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon.
Are aliens real?
And have they already visited our planet?
We're entering a period of great uncertainty where we're dealing with things we've never dealt with before.
The one that controls AI has enormous power over everyone else.
The world is changing at a rapid pace.
And the biggest questions of our time demand answers.
Why the secrecy if it's really no big deal and there's nothing there?
Why hide it?
Join us for Ready Now Expo 2025: Aliens, AI, and the Antichrist, April 10th, 11th, and 12th.
Where faith, preparedness, and revelation collide.
What are preachers going to do when they stand before the throne of God?
Don't miss this powerful event featuring event speakers, prophetic insights, and groundbreaking discussions that could reshape the way you see the future.
Are we entering the final frontier of humanity?
Very soon, we will be beyond the God of the Bible.
Register today for our Ready Now Expo, Aliens, AI, and the Antichrist at www.readynowexpo.com.
Readynowexpo.com, Martha.
We're excited about this event.
We have an amazing lineup of people, but then also people are continuing to add on to our list of saying, hey, can we be a part of this event?
Can we make an hour-long seminar for this?
So I'm telling you, friends, this is going to be an action-packed three days of events, but I promise you'll walk away from this with new perspective.
Our position here, just so you're aware, is I'm not trying to convince you of anything, friends.
I want to present the information to you, and I want you to be like the Brians in the book of Acts.
Take the news, go search out the scriptures, make sure it lines up with the word of God, and then you can believe it as truth, friends.
You know, somebody said, you know, what are you trying to get everyone to believe in post-tribulation?
I said, friends, if you're a pre-tribulation, by golly, I hope you're right.
We can all go up.
If you're mid-tribulation, you know, good job.
If you're a post-tribulation, it's all good.
I am not here to try to convince anyone of pre, mid, post, of all the things to come.
I'm simply trying to teach the word of God.
We're simply trying to preach the word of God.
We're information givers, and it is your job, friends.
I'm telling you, don't believe a word we say here.
Go back and search the scriptures.
Go back and make sure it lines up with the word of God.
Take everything we say and go test it against the Bible.
And friends, if it lines up with the word of God, then believe it.
If it doesn't line up with the word of God, then reject the message.
I say that with full confidence because we teach the word of God here.
But because of pastors not educating themselves, and I am a pastor.
Rick is a pastor.
So we want to talk to you as pastors that if you don't educate yourself on the subject matters of the day, you're going to miss one of the greatest opportunities that you have ever had in order to evangelize a community of people worldwide.
8 billion people are logging in to try to find the answers of aliens in the Bible.
What does the Bible have to say about the Antichrist?
What does the Bible have to say about artificial intelligence?
And if you, Pastor, don't have the answers, do not by any means keep judging social media for doing the job that you and us should be doing in this hour.
Do not by any means curse social media for you not doing your job in teaching.
And if you don't know how to teach this, bring people that God has anointed to teach about the subject matters because I can tell you that your own congregation is going out seeking answers in the wrong places that doesn't withstand the Bible.
Amen.
And it's not a rebuke.
It's an encouragement to let you know that begin to study what the word has to say in Genesis 6 and how does it relate to the future?
How does it relate to modern technology?
How does it relate to the coming of the Antichrist?
Ricky, this has got to be one of the most important conferences.
You need to sign up today or attend in person and really do your job by educating yourself.
Is that all right?
That's right.
Readynowexpo.com, friends, we want you to be a part of this incredible event we're doing here at Morningside USA.
You can be here in person for free or you can watch online as well.
Readynowexpo.com.
Friends, we have again with us Morgan and Alex Mitchell.
They are the owners of Ark Heirloom Seeds.
This is an incredible thing.
And I want to say another thing is you guys aren't just the owners of Ark Heirloom Seeds.
Also, host a house of prayer as well.
You guys are responsible for the message of the gospel getting out in your city of Traverse City, Michigan.
Traverse City, good.
Come on.
That's right.
We do.
So we are, our main passion has been Jesus ever since we've been married.
I got radically born again 21 years ago out of what you were listing off.
Everything you listed off, drugs, alcohol, womenizing.
I'm like, that was me, BC, before I met Jesus.
Oh, Christ.
That's right.
Yeah, I got baptized September 7th, 2003 and experienced the unconditional forgiveness and love of Jesus.
I've never been the same.
And so, Alex, she grew up, I think she was grew up like Jesus, you know, from the beginning.
That's how my wife is too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm like, wow, holy cow.
No, but we love the Lord, and we actually started the prayer room in our living room.
We just were a couple groups, couple couples seeking the presence of God, going after Jesus, declaring his word over our city, and he grew it.
You know, we didn't, I tell most people everything from everything we've done, we have, we just held on.
And essentially, it was Jesus leading us as a shepherd and us hanging on and trying to do the best we could to not ruin what he's doing, you know?
Amen.
So yeah, we love the Lord.
The house of prayer is amazing, and God's doing good things in our city.
Amen.
I spend most of my time trying to get out of God's way because I try to interject my God, wouldn't it be so great if we did it this way?
He's like, Ricky, from the beginning of time, I've been God.
I know what I'm doing, you know.
So I spend my time just trying to get out of his way.
And just, like you said, I'm just following the footsteps of the shepherd.
Come on.
That's incredible.
But you guys also started this incredible company, which is ARC, which stands for Agricultural Resource Kit.
It's a seed company that produces heirloom seeds, legacy seeds, as some people call them.
I know we have our all-in-one seed kit we talked about on the last broadcast.
Go on video on demand and watch that show.
We got to get Mondo in the dirt over there, so you guys can go and watch that as well.
As well as you guys have the backyard kit, which is the, it's 50,000 seeds or 20,000 seeds, but this is getting churches, families, individuals prepared to make sure that you know what you're eating, that you know exactly what is being brought into your home.
And you can actually have fun with your family.
We talked about this being a good bonding experience as well.
But also, we're going to be talking about, oh, before I move on to something brand new, this is incredible, what you guys just explained to us.
And we're going to be talking about it.
You guys did say on the last show, I was speeding along too fast.
I forgot to talk about something important that you're doing with the all-in-one kit.
If you want to talk about that.
Sure.
We actually created a special.
If you guys want to take advantage of it, it's called our Prepper Special.
For basically what it is, is five of our all-in-one tubes for the price of four.
So it's called the Prepper Special there.
It's up on the screen.
And we just have actually put this together because it's one of our most popular now for a lot of churches, like you're talking about, that want to go in together.
They want to have multiple different tubes for their members or also just communities and families alike.
Incredible.
And every kit.
So you'll get seed guide with every single one.
Buy 4 Get 5 00:09:41
So this comes with each tube.
So five of those for the price of four.
That's incredible.
So that's available as well.
You can go.
I want you to take the number, write it down.
It's 417.
I was about to give my cell phone number.
I really was.
I was actually about to give my cell phone number.
I'll tell it to you for it.
I'll give it to you.
I'll give you the first three digits.
You have to figure the last seven out.
My seed athletic skills.
It's 1-888-988-1588.
Give us a call.
We'd love to have you hook up.
I've done that before.
I'm telling you, I've given the last four digits of it before on the show, and I think I've given the middle three digits.
So if you're not- If you personally watch the show, you have my cell phone number.
You have all of them.
Prophet Joshua Giles gave his cell phone number during a live, and then his team told him, no, you gave your personal number.
He just left it out there, and he started receiving calls and texts.
And it was amazing because he got to minister to people to it.
That's great.
Incredible.
Well, so call that number 1-888-988-1588.
We want to make sure that you are prepared for what is to come, but also that you're just getting your family ready for natural circumstances, friends.
It's important.
But let's talk about the new thing which you're doing, which is called Prepare Tribe.
Yes.
Give us an idea.
Give us the full synopsis of what this is.
What is Prepare Tribe?
Okay, how did we start?
Alex is going to cue you in a little bit on this and how we started Prepare Tribe.
Okay, so probably about three years ago, we started getting so many requests from you guys at home, from followers from all over the world on helping you guys personally at home how to grow, how to be more prepared.
And so about three years ago, we started on this journey of creating a whole new aspect of ARC that's called Prepare Tribe.
And over the last year, we have spent hundreds of hours of creating video content.
So it's live hands-on education for you guys and for anyone, your friends and your family, through a docuseries that we have put together.
And we're really excited because we're just, we've been launching it the last couple months to universities, to people, to community groups, home groups all over the world.
And so it's a really exciting new venture that we've had.
Amen.
So Prepare Tribe.
It'll be a new affiliate program.
You can go jimbakershow.com and look up that affiliate link.
It's called Prepare Tribe.
Friends, we're going to be excited to announce this today.
This is incredible.
Prepare tribe.
Because Mondo, I'm going to tell you right now, there have been so many times where I ventured into something new and I wish I had some help.
Hey, when I first bought my sheep, I'm telling you out there.
I was out there.
This is not a joke.
This is probably bad.
I'm telling you myself here.
True story.
I went, picked up the sheep.
I unloaded them into this little like rigged fence area that I built.
And I sat there and I looked at them and I pulled out my phone and I googled how to raise sheep.
I realized I bought the sheep and then I realized, oh, I got to figure out how to raise these things.
Step one.
Pick them up.
That's right.
Yeah.
So step one, I couldn't, you know, try to get them to learn my voice.
They're stubborn little animals.
They are.
They're good to me now.
They run right up to me because they know I give them food.
But I needed a little bit of help.
So what I did is I got around with people who had raised sheep before.
I got in contact with people who had been doing it for generations and they walked me through the process.
And I'll tell you right now, I learned in six months what probably would have bought on my own took me six years, if not probably 60 years to learn.
But I needed that helping hand.
And you guys are providing essentially that for people in this aspect.
Are they just going to be getting what comes whenever I get a docuseries?
Am I just going to be learning about planting seeds or is there more that involved with that?
Great question.
So as Alex started to mention, we started this because we were hearing from so many people.
And I just want to say kudos to you guys in the Jim Baker show and network because of what you've done for decades.
I really just want to say that.
Thank you.
Because I know it does come with a stigma.
You know, there's a lot of people out there.
Well, you're just trying to make money.
You're just trying to, you're doomsday.
You're putting fear on people.
And that's not your heart at all.
You want to, you want to educate people and get them prepared.
I don't know of a location.
There's maybe a couple in the nation that have more knowledge and actual practical expertise in the area of preparedness.
But we were hearing from people and they were saying, that's great about seeds, but what about food storage?
What about making a tincture that's going to bring healing to the body?
What do I do for water filtration?
And could you guys put something together that could bring all of these elements together?
Because a lot like you guys, we've been on seven acres and now 40 acres of land that we've homesteaded.
We've acquired a lot of knowledge over the years, not just in seeds.
And so we said, you know what?
What if we put together a docuseries, really, I would say a library that's more conclusive, that's more well-rounded, where we cover water filtration, where we cover shelter strategies, where we cover what I think is one of the most overlooked aspects in preparation, having a tribe, having a community of people.
Because even in that genre, as you guys know, that framework mindset, a lot of times people isolate.
And then there's loneliness and there's all these things that we shouldn't have.
And God didn't design us for that.
And so that's why we even called it Prepare Tribe because we said we want people to be in community.
We want them to build a tribe of people they can run with, not just in preparedness, but go after God hard and focus on physical fitness, no matter where they are.
So a lot of elements that are more holistic and comprehensive.
So that's where a prepared tribe came.
Well, I love what you're doing.
You're providing medical must-haves.
You're adding bulletproof bartering.
Preparing your homestead.
Secure your tribe, like you talked about, shelter strategies, forever foods, growing and storing your own food, water-wise, the necessity of water, the three preppers playbook, prepare, protect, and provide.
Build your tribe trust, practical tips and trips, bonus of prepper special seed vault, bi-weekly personalized consulting, live-in-person training.
I mean, you're getting, listen, we got to stop nickel and dime in this situation.
We got to get down to the root on the foundation of the information.
I think it starts right there, right?
If you have the information, now you have the confidence and now you can motivate yourself to go do something about it.
And I want to tell you something.
Most people are nickel and diming information, meaning they're getting a piece here, a piece there, and then never doing anything about it because you don't have the support system.
Oh, you're hitting on something there, which is huge for us with this, and that's take action.
Take massive action right now.
I think a lot of times, so here's a couple stats.
Maybe you guys already know this, but 80% of people live in urban or suburban environment in the United States, 80%.
Here's another shocking figure for you guys.
Do you know what percentage of Americans identify as preppers?
I'd say, what, 5%?
33.
33.
Oh.
This was six months ago when asked, when asked in the public right now.
But here's the thing.
Only 5% have a three-day supply of water filtration and food.
So we have a massive distance between people that identify as preppers.
A lot of them, I don't think, want to tell their friends and family.
Yeah.
And people that are actually preparing.
Do you follow me?
So I can say yes.
Lack of action.
Wow.
Yeah.
Or I bought three boxes of ammo and so I'm a prepper.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
I've got two extra guns and so I'm prepared.
That's not going to cut it.
The other thing that's happened is there's been a massive amount of information released on people and they're associating prepping with what's actually bushcraft or wilderness survival skills because there's so many shows about, you know, alone or man in the wild or all these shows.
And people think, I need to know how to build a fire from chipping rocks together.
That's actually not preparedness.
And if 80% of people are living in urban and suburban environments, that knowledge means nothing.
And so there's a lot of practical things that you can do to prepare and anyone can do these, like the top 10 things you should go buy at the store right now and stockpile.
Toilet paper, bleach, peanut butter.
All of these things have an indefinite shelf life that we use that are great to stockpile and prepare.
And so our mission is really to say, okay, if 33% identify as preppers, only 5% are actually doing anything.
We have to get people to take action.
Wow.
Not just say I'm a prepper.
If people don't listen to you right now, you're going to wake up and realize that your electricity is off.
You don't believe me?
Look at the news right now.
There's a war in America right now, and you don't even realize that we are a war.
When President Trump starts talking about tariffs against other nations, that's a declaration of war.
Why?
Because now Ontario, Doug Ford, is warning Trump the recession is coming, threatening electrical shutoff to parts of the United States.
Michigan.
Absolutely.
You guys are going to be affected.
Prepare Tribe Preview 00:05:13
New York is going to be affected.
But I want to tell you something.
We are a war in America and we don't even realize it.
I pay attention when this tariff talk starts going back and forth.
We are a war with nations.
You understand what I'm saying?
Because they are threatening the livelihood of America.
Anyways, I don't want to get into a tantrum.
We want you to watch this, the Prepare Tribe preview, and then we're going to come back and talk more about how you can join today.
Watch this.
Hey, guys, this is Morgan and my wife, Alex, from Prepare Tribe.
We wanted to welcome you on this journey with us into preparedness, into preparing your family, your home.
We started in this journey about 15 years ago.
And just like you, we started out not knowing a lot.
And we always wanted to have someone help us.
And that's really our passion right now is to help you right where you are, especially if you're starting out to get going in this journey.
And so that's why we're here for you.
We can't wait to see what unfolds over the course of your progression through this.
Did you have anything, huh?
And I look forward to teaching you along the way as we go through videos out in our garden and on our land.
And we're so glad that you guys have jumped in this course with us.
And we look forward to helping you along the way.
Yeah.
So we can't wait to go on this preparedness journey with you guys.
Thanks for joining us.
Amen.
This is exciting.
I want you to call the number right now and be the first ones to join.
1-888-988-1588.
This is amazing.
This is, listen, this is for you.
This is for every person that is wondering, where do I begin?
You know, years ago, I heard a term that said the hardest thing to do is to get started.
Well, not anymore, because you guys are doing everything you can.
You're going to be discovering medical must-haves.
You ever thought about what medical supplies are the most that you need?
The ones that most people don't think about that.
Why don't we think about medical supplies?
I don't know, but we should.
If we can't go to the emergency room and something happens to someone we love, we're going to need to know what to happen.
You got to have a medical bag.
What to do?
Have some sort of an idea how to start and help people.
Water.
This is so key.
What did dad say on this stage during New Year's Eve?
Water, water, water.
He said water, water, water, but not a drop to drink.
Oh, unbelievable.
That was his prophetic word.
Yeah.
And the thing is, why are you focusing on water?
Well, so here's another wild thing.
We all know what happened in Nashville.
You remember this hurricane comes through, decimates the whole area.
Here's what FEMA found out.
Do you know what percentage of people had a three-day supply of food and basic water filtration?
And this is not, I mean, this is an area that you would think is prepared.
5%.
Wow.
Only 5% had a three-day supply of food and basic water filtration.
That was a huge issue for FEMA.
They couldn't get in.
I mean, there was a lot around that, but most of the private sector really stepped in the Asheville situation.
But people can't survive without water.
You know, we got three days without water.
So, and there's little, tiny little things.
I know you guys are partners with Seychelle.
They have water straws that are $10, $20.
There's no reason every single person shouldn't have one in their car.
I was going to mention that.
If something happens, there's zero reason.
It's so cheap.
But I want to tell you something.
If you don't know about Seychelle and you want more information, I want you to go to jimbakershow.com and visit the Seychelle affiliate page.
They got water pitchers.
They got water pumps.
They got the straws.
And I've been on the phone with them and we've been sending email blasts.
I hope you're getting those.
If you haven't received or email blast, which by the way, you receive a lot of great specials through there.
Sign up to be a part of the email list.
We want to bless you in ways that we can't talk about on the program because it takes a lot of time.
But I want you to go to the website, jimbakershow.com and shop about Seychelle water filtration.
It's going to change your life.
You're never going to see water the same.
Set Aside Stigma 00:03:50
This is over 60 years of research, even up to today, on what's happening.
And listen, join the tribe.
This is the key, right?
Tribes are very good because we come together and bring knowledge together.
I was going to ask you that question.
Why?
Because it takes a lot of time, mentorship, you know, pouring into somebody.
It takes a lot of personal time.
So why did you come up with this where people can then have essentially your ear for six months to say, hey, these are the questions I have and get the answers from you?
What made you want to do that?
Well, probably the same thing you guys have found out and those that are going after preparedness in an intentional way.
One of the main hang-ups is trying to find a tribe, a group of people they can run with that are at least pursuing the same things.
And a lot of times people that are in the preparedness space get kickback feedback from their friends and family that are close.
They call them crazy.
They call them, you know, all of the things.
And so we looked at that and we said, you know what?
We really think of all things, creating community is probably the most important aspect and the most overlooked aspect of where things are going.
And so even in Prepare Tribe, we actually teach people, we train people how to build community.
Where does it start?
And it's important to know if you're starting out, it doesn't happen overnight.
That's okay.
I want to say this too, if it's okay, please.
Everyone listening, because of a lot of the stigma that goes along with preparedness, I need to say this to you.
Set it aside.
Don't get offended.
If your friends and family have said things about you, set it aside.
Let the love of God wash over you.
Please restore any relationships.
If there's any brokenness in relationships with you, you need to start mending those.
Your friends and family are so important.
Here's one practical way, though, that you can start growing in community.
Start conversations, very simple conversations with the people that you're in church with.
You'd be shocked at how many people that are in your church you probably don't even know are into preparedness.
They are.
They're out there.
Again, one in three people in America right now identify as preppers.
There's people in your church body that are going after preparedness.
Maybe they're not as far along or maybe they're further along than you.
You can create relationships with them.
Another practical thing, if I could throw this out there, please.
About building your tribe.
There's a lot of social media networks or groups in your area that are, let's say Facebook.
They have a page for you're from Denver, Denver Preppers.
Go on that group and start to communicate with people and figure out, okay, who is a person of faith?
Who's like-minded like me?
And start conversations there.
It's a great way to start conversations and building some semblance of a relationship.
You can build a tribe on your own.
I think people need to hear that.
You can build a tribe on your own.
That's important, Marta.
Community is vital, especially in these days we're living in.
You can't do life alone.
And I found, you know, especially in the preparation, that you can't even do that alone.
You can do only so much, but you really do need someone to help guide you.
I think it's important what you guys are doing.
So prepared tribe is what you guys have called it.
We have an affiliate up on our site.
Go there right now and look at all the things they have to offer.
Again, tell us the two different things.
I know there is a docu series you guys put together, but even greater than that, because the docu series is amazing, but there is actual mentorship that you guys are giving as well.
I really want to dive into that.
So tell us what the docu series is.
And does the docu series, whenever I get the mentorship, does the docu series come with that as well?
Good question.
Yeah.
People Behind the Product 00:08:38
Did you want to?
Yeah, we actually offer two different products.
So when you're on the site, the one is the Just the DocuSeries, which is a nine-hour program that we put together.
So you can watch at your own pace.
You will receive an email with a downloadable link for all of the videos to watch.
So you don't have to watch all nine hours at a time.
But we actually invite you into our garden and into our kitchen and into our property and just show you practically hands-on how to do everything from start to finish.
So we've taken the last year and hundreds and hundreds of hours to put into being able to come and meet you at your level, not expecting you don't have to have any experience.
So it's really starting from, you know, ground zero or some of you guys watching it might be more experienced than us and we could learn from you guys.
So we are just sharing with you what we have learned over the past 20 years as we've homesteaded, as we've canned food for our family, as we plan and prepare bug out bags for our cars, for our vehicles, and just how we live.
So we invite you in.
The docu series is nine plus hours of you can watch at your own pace.
And then the other product that we offer, which is even more exciting, you get the docuseries included in it, but you also get an opportunity to work with us for six months.
So once a week, we meet with you guys.
We ask, you know, question and answers, whatever you have personally for your land, for your property, we will work with you.
We also, so you'll receive the docu series with that.
You'll also receive one of the all-in-one kits to help you get started with your gardening.
And then you also will receive a lot of practical resources that we will send to you to make your own checklist for things and help you get started and organized for you and your family.
So I just, I did the math right now.
And I'm probably I'm not supposed to talk about this, but I'm going to do it anyways because I want you to know the kind of value that you're receiving in this offer.
This is about $130,000 value.
True.
Yeah, to the mentors.
Can I say that again?
This is about $130,000 worth of value on this deal, and you're getting it for pennies on the dollar.
Can I say that?
Yeah.
If you don't believe me, go to the website, jimbakershow.com and go to the link, the RXED.
Oh, no, it's going to be not the RXED.
Prepared Tribe.
Prepare Trive.
Let me say that again.
If you don't believe me, I want you to go to the affiliate page, Prepare Tribe, and look at the number of how much you're going to be paying for the value of $130,000.
This is unbelievable.
It's amazing.
You also get, I think Alex mentioned this, but a ton of PDFs of everything you can think of to help you where someone that's just starting out can look at these and say, how do I create a plan?
We have a PDF for that.
What do I do about water?
How do I plan for how many people am I getting food stockpiled for?
Yes.
How are my comms?
Do I have batteries stored?
There's a checklist of the top 50 things that you need that you can get right now that are not super expensive.
I mean, there's PDF after PDF to help everyone right where they're at.
But, you know, we all are in different locations and we all have strengths and weaknesses in those locations and we need a personalized plan.
We do.
So here's one thing I'll throw out there.
I mentioned this: 80% of people live in an urban or suburban environment because of the bushcraft or survival skills.
A lot of people think that's negative.
I don't think so.
And here's why.
More people, more resources.
So the more people that we're around, actually, there's a better, there's a larger group to pull from and all their expertise.
There's people in urban and suburban environments that you're not going to have access to their expertise if you're out living, let's say, at the end of a road 30 miles from anyone and you're hunkered in your bunker.
And so people living in the city, they have, there's things that they're going to have that people that live out in the country.
You guys are trustworthy.
You guys love Jesus.
You love family.
You love this ministry.
You love our viewers, our partners.
You guys have done the hard job of putting everything together.
Our ministry has been working on putting a list together and we try to present it to you with food, water, fuelless generators, supplements, cardiomiracle.
I mean, we're doing our part in just a little bit of what we can do.
But here, you guys are bringing the whole, again, this is $130,000 worth of value that you're receiving for pennies on the dollar.
Not only you're helping them to continue to do what they're doing in their ministry, but you're helping this ministry to bring you guys here and be part of a family in a community.
I hope you know that you are our family.
I hope you know that you guys are the tribe.
Can I say that?
Of the Jim Baker family show that keeps this thing going forward.
Even when mom and dad are not here, you're supporting us.
You're standing.
You're putting up with Ricky and myself.
But I want to tell you something.
If it wasn't for you, we would not be here because God is using you to continue to support this ministry.
Your finances.
I want to tell you something.
People, oh, you're talking about finances.
Yes.
You know why?
Because it makes the world go around.
How about that?
People got to be paid.
The bills got to be paid.
But more importantly, the gospel has to go forth.
And I know a lot of people are anti-supporting ministries and blah, blah, blah.
Listen.
That's a shame.
Go start one and see what happens.
Yep.
All I'm saying is it takes a community of people to do what we're doing together in order to get the message and spread it out.
And we can't do it without your support.
Amen.
We are doing our part to, you know, Ricky, I know we're talking a lot, but we get presented with product after product after product.
I got 50 products sitting on my shelf right now that people want to present, but you know why they're not on the air?
Because they're not good for you.
And I don't mean to say that about the product.
It's just that it would not be a good fit for you.
How about that?
It's not something that this ministry is willing to go on the air and talk about it without really understanding if they're good or not.
They're not good for this program.
They may be good for another program, but we want to bring you the very best.
And who are the very best?
It's because we got to know, we get to know the people behind the product.
I guess that's what I'm trying to tell you.
It's the people behind the product is what matters the most.
Are there godly people?
Do they love God?
Do they love people?
Do they represent the gospel properly when they are not on the air?
There was a guy that wanted to put his product on the air with us to present to you, and it was an amazing product.
It can change lives.
But you know what?
You're so smart because you do your research.
And I went and did my research about the people behind the product and they're living reprobates.
How can we bring people that say, oh, we would just want to help your partners, but then our partners go and research this people and the people don't represent our values.
That's what I'm trying to tell you, Ricky, is people that represent the values of what we represent has to align with the mission that God has given this ministry.
Amen.
Amen.
And I know whenever people are going to do this one-on-one with you for six months, I know it's going to be incredible because they also have the same value system as you as well.
There's believers who love the gospel of Jesus Christ first and foremost and then say, hey, everything else is secondary to Jesus.
Everything else is secondary to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
So, you know, one of the most important things is people do become isolated.
They do become fearful that when I start preparing or if I get public with it, people will start calling me names or yada yada.
Protecting Joyfully 00:08:26
How can we use technology?
I think it's important to talk about technology.
How can we utilize it right now while we have it to increase our ability to have that tribe?
That's a great question.
I mentioned it briefly, but there's networks around everyone listening.
I'm telling you, that are even if you live in Blue Eye.
Even if you're in Blue Eye, I guarantee there's someone on Facebook that created a group that said the Blue Eye Prepper family or group or whatever.
And so to reach out and maybe get involved with them, that's important.
So utilizing technology that way, but also I think another aspect is start to, okay, it's not technology.
This is a plug for something practical.
Please tell me.
It's not technology based, but one of the most overlooked aspects of prepping is getting a physical library.
If technology goes down, you need a physical library.
Get 10 books that you can grab and put your hands on.
Wow.
If you can't have access to technology that you have, an Atlas in your car.
So anyway, but utilizing technology, the other thing I would say is utilize it by maybe you got a group of friends and you send a text out.
This is kind of even old school texting now.
You send a text out and say, I'm going to have a dinner two Saturdays from now.
I want you all to come over.
There's 10 of them and maybe five come.
And they come and you, all you say is, what do you think about what's happening in the world right now?
You don't talk about preparedness.
You just get people talking about what's happening because most people will be like, it's crazy.
It's crazy right now.
But you're building relationship.
You're building a community right there.
A lot of times people are lonely and isolated and they're waiting for something to happen instead of initiating something themselves and initiating that community.
So those are just a couple things.
Part of why we also put together the Dachu series was to build off of Morgan's idea.
If you are having a group gather at your home, it would make it really easy where you can gather together to sit and watch a few of the episodes together so you can kind of learn as a group.
Very good.
I get what you think.
What do you think?
Whenever I get the docu-series, is it a watch at my own pace?
Does the link expire?
How does that work for people?
Doesn't expire.
No.
Sorry, go ahead.
Yeah, it's just watch at your own pace and you can download it and have it forever.
Okay.
Very good.
So that's available.
It's called Prepared Tribe.
That's one of our new affiliates.
They also still have Arc Seed affiliate friends.
I want you to continue to go there, look at that online, see the different offers they have.
But Prepared Tribe, they stole a good name.
I should have came up with that name before they did.
Prepared Tribe.
But I'll tell you, it's important.
It's critical because it's important to have community as well.
So you guys are based out of Traverse City, Michigan, but it doesn't matter where they are.
Does it matter nationwide?
Or is this also open to international people?
Open all over the world.
So we would love to see people.
We would love to help serve people and get them confident and joyful.
Yeah.
As we approach the days ahead, I was even thinking as you guys were talking about that.
The Lord said, I will make them joyful in my house of prayer.
I will bring them to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer.
We're supposed to experience this holiness and to have joy.
And I think that's important for us going ahead.
But back to your question.
So Alex said, you'll be meeting with us.
That's not us in person.
We don't have the capacity for that.
It is through online means.
But anyone anywhere in the world can do this.
It will be, yep.
And we'll be able to meet with you.
And we can't wait for it.
We really want to help serve people and get them their own plan so that they're not overwhelmed with where things are at.
That's incredible.
What are the most common pitfalls to avoid when developing a preparedness plan?
Oh, good question.
I would say being concerned with the wrong things.
And I should hesitate saying the wrong things, but an incomplete or non-holistic mindset when it comes to preparedness.
I call it bunkers and bullets.
And so a lot of people in the preparedness space, they think they're preppers because they have thousands of rounds of ammunition and a bunker.
But again, practically, what does that mean?
Yes, you can't eat bullets and you can only live in a bunker for so long.
There was a guy in Canada.
I don't want to digress, but he, during Y2K, he built a bunker.
He tried to convince his family to go in.
They wouldn't.
He thought it was going to be nuclear follow.
He locked himself in that bunker.
Do you know how long he was in there?
Tell me.
13 years.
Wow.
13 years.
He had water filtration in the bunker.
He had sanitation, food, unlimited food.
He finally said it was worth it to not die alone, to come out.
He thought it was nuclear holocaust.
He comes out, and it was so alarming that it had been that long that they did an investigative report, ABC and CBS both, and found out it was true.
So was he a prepper?
No.
I don't think so.
So the biggest pitfall, and I'll go back to mindset.
As believers, we have to have the right mindset when we're talking about preparedness.
We even deal with that in Prepared Tribe.
We have to be people that are not pulling back into bunkers.
I'm not against bunkers, by the way.
I'm not against bullets.
It's in our resources.
We want to be able to protect ourselves.
But that's not our main mission.
So the pitfall is focusing on, I think, an incomplete or non-holistic view of preparation.
We should be the salt and the light.
This should be our greatest hour as people when we go into stuff like this.
You brought up a great point.
Be careful who you are learning from.
And that is even the book of Revelation makes me think of this famous story that this YouTuber became very well known, making millions of dollars a year doing YouTube, following their lives.
And this couple began to hear the message of revelation from a teacher that drove them to the point where they became crazy.
They locked the kids downstairs and they started beating the kids because they felt like the kids were demon-possessed, all because they heard a message being taught out of fear.
Yikes.
This is why we, Ricky and I, really want to make it a point that when we talk about Revelation, it's not time to be fearful.
It's not time to put fear in your heart.
It's time to give you hope to build your faith, to be joyful, to understand that the greatest hour of the church will be in the last days.
I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but God made it his mission that we should be rejoicing.
He's not looking for you to be happy.
He's looking for you to be joyful and understand that when you teach the book of Revelation, be careful that you don't come out as fearful.
Very serious topics.
Don't get me wrong.
But you have to be anointed to teach it in a way that you're building faith to understand that Jesus is coming back.
It's not to run away and hide in the caves.
It's to be out with the people, to serve the people, to love the people, to feed the people, to visit the prisoners, to understand that the greatest hour that the church will live through and live by is a revival like we've never seen before.
Amen.
Oh, I know.
We'll have time to talk about it one of these days, Ricky, because God has given this ministry a mission to talk about the end times, but not in the way that you thought it was going to come through.
Yeah.
Amen.
Amen.
How can one person maintain Alex and update their emergency supplies to make sure that they remain effective?
I notice a lot of people, like you said, they'll prepare, they'll buy a bunch of stuff, let's say in 2005, and then they won't touch it again.
And when they need it, it's expired.
It's not usable.
It's fallen apart.
It's been rattled.
So how do we ensure that we continue to check up on and make sure we have actually a usable product?
Yeah, I think the main most important point with that is to make sure that you're always rotating on your shelves.
Stock Up Pragmatically 00:05:33
I mean, that's with food, but just really anything, even if you're storing gas, you know, where you're using the gas and then restocking your storage.
So you have like a continual rotation where things are not expiring or going bad.
I have an example on that of when we had COVID in 2020 and, you know, the shelves were really empty for days and days there.
I would go shopping for the family and kind of stock up.
And I always just told myself, I'm only going to stock up on stuff I know we're going to use.
And so we've been using those over the last few years.
And it's stuff that my family would eat anyway.
So I think just being practical, when I would talk about, you know, us putting together this program to be able to present an offer for you guys, I think our real passion, just so you guys understand at home, is to really help and educate.
I just really want to bring that point across that to help you wherever you're at with starting with very basic all the way through.
And so I think the practical points of storing, you know, not just food, but also, you know, we talked about ammunition.
We talked about medicines.
We talked about, you know, that's another one, rotating medicine on your shelf, making sure that the medicine is not expiring and going bad.
So yeah, I think we just look forward to being able to help you guys as much as we can at home.
It's an interest of you.
I think with another point that comes to mind is even with the administration that we have today, whether it's, you know, everybody might feel, okay, now we're secure with like, you know, things are gonna be okay and we're gonna be taken care of now versus how it was a year ago.
I think understanding that the importance of being practically prepared for natural disasters, we've seen a lot going on with the wildfires, we've seen the hurricanes, emergency power outages, ice storms, and everything.
So just being prepared for that, whether our government and our administration is actually taking care of us or not.
So that's right.
You know, I think a lot of people mistake this time as like a time to kick our feet up.
But friends, at the time of reprieve, it's actually the time you prepare even more so.
Joseph didn't prepare for the seven years of famine during the seven years of famine.
Friends, he prepared for them before.
Well, it was good.
Well, there was a bountiful harvest.
And I encourage you, believer, do the same thing.
I want to show you one more time what Prepared Tribe is all about.
I want you to watch this and go to our affiliate link, jimbakershow.com, Prepared Tribe.
And I want you to really pay attention to what they're going to be teaching you during this process, whether it's the docu series or the mentorship.
Watch this.
Hey guys, this is Morgan and my wife Alex from Prepare Tribe.
We wanted to welcome you on this journey with us into preparedness, into preparing your family, your home.
We started in this journey about 15 years ago, and just like you, we started out not knowing a lot.
And we always wanted to have someone help us.
And that's really our passion right now: to help you right where you are, especially if you're starting out, to get going in this journey.
And so that's why we're here for you.
We want to, we can't wait to see what unfolds over the course of your progression through this.
Did you have anything, huh?
And I look forward to teaching you along the way as we go through videos out in our garden and on our land.
And we're so glad that you guys have jumped in this course with us and we look forward to helping you along the way.
Yeah, so we can't wait to go on this preparedness journey with you guys.
Thanks for joining us.
Friends, go to jimbakershow.com.
Prepare Tribe, our new affiliate program with Morgan and Alex Mitchell.
Tell us one more time: what are the things we will be learning when we get the docuseries, as well as when we sign up for the one-on-one, the group mentorship?
Okay, good.
Session one is building your tribe.
We're going to teach you how to build your community.
Two, a three-part preppers playbook.
So we go in, go through exclusively how to go from A to Z and creating a plan and actually executing that plan, which is really important.
So getting a plan.
Three is the food storage.
So how much food should you be preparing for?
That's why we go through the plan ahead of time.
What food should you be acquiring?
What should you be thinking about in different areas that you're in and how to store your food long term?
And then obviously with that comes growing, seed saving, gardening, all of that stuff.
Storing Water Properly 00:02:26
The next one is water.
So water filtration, water storage is actually a way to store water properly.
There's a way to store water improperly.
For instance, don't ever put water in a milk jug.
Don't put water in a clear can long term.
It's not good.
It grows bacteria and other things in it.
So we go through that.
The next one is securing your tribe.
It's security.
You need to be thinking through everything, not just guns.
You know, a lot of people think about security.
They think about guns.
It's a lot more than that.
Then we go into preparing your homestead.
So, what do you think?
Be thinking about your own specific homestead.
Be thinking, how can I utilize it?
Even if I'm in an apartment in a city, how can I create my apartment to be more of a homestead?
Also, medical must-have.
So, we cover thinking about growing your own food and creating your own medicine, stockpiling medicine.
There's checklists and how what medicines should be thinking about.
Could medicine become a trade and barter.
Bartering, speaking of that, there's a whole nother series session on bartering, thinking through, I would say, money and economy in a different way than we do right now because it could potentially get to a point where we're bartering and even thinking about bartering now.
A lot of people don't think about things that way, but I know we were talking about eggs for seasoning earlier.
Mondo's looking for eggs.
So, we go through that and then practical tips and trips, tricks.
We go through what things should be thinking about right now that are practical.
And finally, I want to say this: a couple, speaking of practical things for you to be thinking about.
We didn't mention this, but it's really important.
Start getting in physical shape.
This is really important to us.
Even if you spend 80% of your day sitting down on a couch, get up 10 times when you normally wouldn't.
Do a couple air squats.
You know, grab something around you like this, even and do some curls every day.
Start small if you're not doing anything.
Being in physical shape is very important where we're going.
So, I'll land there.
Amen.
Friends, I want you to go to the website jimbakershow.com.
