What We Saw After the Hurricane: Chaos, Courage & the Fight to Survive
After the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, Jason Salyer (ON3) and I went to North Carolina to help with the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts. In this raw and honest discussion, we reflect on what he experienced over the last six months — the destruction, the resilience of the survivors, and the hidden dangers that don’t make the news. We talk about the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual toll of disasters, and the stark contrast between the best and worst of humanity. From medical shortages and theft, to hazmat threats, crime scenes, and long-term health risks like Legionnaires and cancer — this is what it’s really like in a disaster zone. We also break down how you can help in a meaningful way — through skill-building, accountability systems, staging logistics, communications, and having trusted contacts. If you want to be part of the solution when disaster strikes, this is a must-watch. Christian Guardians Prepare! .
