Years ago I issued a warning: The U.S. must not follow the path of Western Europe in a profoundly crucial arena, and the Church must act decisively to help. Or at least stop making things worse.
The disaster I saw in Europe and foresaw in America was this: A total separation between patriotic, populist, reality-based political movements and principled Christian citizens. In Europe, the parties alive to the existential threat of non-Western immigration, political Islam, and globalist attacks on national sovereignty are mostly thoroughly secular. They’ve fallen completely silent on unborn life, the institution of marriage, and other social issues which are absolutely crucial, in the long run, to the survival of their countries. The foundation of their house is cracked and starting to crumble, but these conservative parties are no longer paying attention.
Why? Because the house is on fire, and structural reinforcement doesn’t seem as urgent as putting out the flames. When thousands of jihadists stupidly imported from war zones march through the streets of German cities demanding sharia, and hundreds of churches in France burn down after arson attacks, and British girls are trafficked by Muslim grooming gangs whom it’s literally a crime to complain about … arguments over abortion or the LGBTQ agenda tend to get pushed onto the margins.
In the past, conservative parties would be expected to march along both tracks, to fend off foreign invasion and cultural subversion. Pro-life, pro-family policies were part and parcel of sane, conservative platforms in Europe, as they were in the U.S. right up through 2020. But first in Europe, and by 2024 in America, these movements began to splinter. Trump’s winning platform this year was heavily diluted, markedly less conservative on social issues than Mitt Romney’s was in 2012. (Not that Romney or the GOP really meant any of it, but they felt constrained to pretend.)
What happened and who’s at fault? Not the secular politicians, who follow public opinion rather than form it. The villain of this piece is in fact the Church and its leaders. (For this piece I’ll focus on my own Roman Catholic Church, but the lessons apply equally to leading Evangelical bodies, especially those thought leaders whom critics such as Megan Basham rightly calls “regime Christians.”) […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
