In this episode of The Dents in My Armor, Jenny and Lee are joined by guest Shaya Egan, from @LDSpreppergirl, together they focus on what it really means to live prepared for the Savior.

Preparation isn’t about fear—it’s about daily choices that draw us closer to Him. Together they explore how to stay spiritually steady in a distracting world, why preparation is about more than appearances, and how readiness becomes part of our everyday discipleship.

This conversation invites you to reflect on the kind of preparation that matters most: choosing Christ, again and again.

Together, they share scriptural insights from King Benjamin and Alma, teachings from modern prophets, and practical ways to strengthen our covenant relationship with Christ.

They discuss personal litmus tests, what it means to serve without losing balance, and the hope-filled truth that preparation is not about perfection—it’s about knowing the Savior.
