In this conclusion to the book of Nehemiah, Pastor Josh McPherson teaches from Nehemiah 13 about the danger of spiritual drift and the importance of finishing well. Although Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem’s walls and led the people through remarkable reform, compromise quickly returned when constant care and courageous leadership disappeared. The book ends with Nehemiah pleading, “Remember me with favor, my God”—a whispered prayer that foreshadows the better Reformer. Support the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources.

Dr. Frank Turek was standing just 25 feet away when Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University. In this raw, heartfelt interview, Turek shares the full eyewitness story: the final walks and conversations with Charlie about government, the resurrection, family, and marriage; the chaotic moments after the shot; the desperate drive to the hospital while holding Charlie; the surgeon's words; and Charlie’s grieving widow Erika Kirk's strength and call to continue the mission. Turek also addresses the conspiracy theories swirling around the tragedy (including attacks on Erika), why Occam's Razor points to a lone radicalized shooter, Charlie's humility and time management as a mentor figure, and how this "impact event" has amplified the gospel. He pivots to the big questions: Why does God allow evil? How does the cross reconcile justice and love? And why Charlie is in heaven not because of his accomplishments, but because of Jesus' sacrifice. A powerful tribute to a young man who lived boldly for Christ, united conservatives, and inspired a generation. Watch till the end for Turek's gospel presentation from the memorial service and reflections on courage, grief, and legacy.If this moves you, share it — Charlie would want the truth and the gospel to keep spreading.Go to https://www.freedomcon26.com/ to register for Freedom Con 2026!Support the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources. 

41,000 Votes Will FLIP Washington State – Why It’s NOT a Lost Cause | Road to the Gorge Ep. 1Christian men of Washington and America — enough is enough.In this explosive first episode of Road to Freedom Con, we expose the truth: Washington State is not a lost cause. Despite 42 years of unbroken Democrat single-party rule, the data proves we are just one strong turnout away from taking back the legislature.We break down the hard numbers on 10 swing districts where the margin of defeat is under 4%. Just 41,000 total votes (an average of about 4,000 per district) would flip the House and Senate, giving Republicans majorities and shutting down the radical agenda coming out of Olympia.We’re done with the defeatist lie that “my vote doesn’t matter” and “King County always wins.” Hope deferred makes the heart sick — but real strategies produce real hope.This is about more than politics. It’s about nameless, faceless bureaucracies choking good men — making it nearly impossible to buy a home (82% of Washingtonians can’t afford one), start a business, raise a family, or leave an inheritance. Government greed, out-of-control regulations, and policies that fund wickedness are driving producers out while destroying future opportunity.We’re calling Christian men to rise as statesmen — the culminating role after being faithful family men, businessmen, and churchmen. It’s time to return to the civic arena, protect God-given rights, and fight for our families and future.That’s why we’re launching Freedom Con 2026: Rise of the Statesman — An American Congress of Christian Men.June 19-20, 2026 • Father’s Day WeekendThe Gorge Amphitheater, George, WashingtonBring your sons.

In this raw, on-location episode filmed one block from the White House, they unpack the REAL Black Robe Regiment — the pastors who literally won the American Revolution.You were lied to in school. Jefferson wasn’t a godless deist. Lincoln’s story is twisted. And the Founding Fathers quoted the Bible 40-50% of the time. Pastors didn’t just pray — they preached revolution, raised militias, fought with hymn books as ammo, and wrote the Bill of Rights.Tim reveals:• The pastor who ripped off his black robe mid-sermon to reveal a Continental Army uniform• The “Fighting Parson” who loaded muskets with Isaac Watts hymnals and said “Give ’em Watts, boys!”• The 50-year-old Yale pastor who stood alone on a hill firing at the British and told the officer, “I’m practicing my right of war!”If you’re a pastor, father, or patriot who wants to understand why America exists and what’s at stake right now, this is required listening.Support the showThanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources.

Fasting isn’t a diet—it’s a discipline that prepares your heart to draw near to Jesus. In this message from The Consecrated Life, Pastor Josh McPherson teaches from Matthew 6, showing that Jesus assumes His followers will fast, warns against religious performance, and promises the Father rewards what’s done in secret. You’ll learn what biblical fasting is (and isn’t), the main types of fast in Scripture, and how to start a 1, 3, or 5-day fast as we lean into hear from God.Get a vision for your life...
