On August 26, 2023 a group of men protested the Douglas County Pride Festival that happened at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. They protested peacefully by simply wearing shirts that read Stand to Protect Children on the front and Jesus Loves You (and so do I) on the back. They were met with vulgarity, assault and intimidation. The media has taken one side of the story. In this episode Jimmy recalls the events of that day. Who's Jimmy Graham?

Who is responsible for the next generation? What legacy do we want to leave for our kids and our grandkids?

On the year anniversary of the horrific school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvaldle, Texas. Jimmy was given an opportunity to speak in Washington D.C. on what should have been done differently. In his time in DC Jimmy was challenged and burdened with the country we live in and what has to be done differently to create a life for our children that encapsulates the freedom's we enjoy in America. What must change now?
Over the last year we have seen two school shootings with two very different results. Uvalde was an hour and a half and yielded an hour and a half of footage from badge cams and security cameras that left us questioning why 21 people had to die. Nashville happened with swift intentional actions but still left us asking why one individual would choose such horrendous actions. Jimmy and BK look at both events and provide points for consideration - not to put down law enforcement or those involved - but to explain what could have been done differently. What was the difference?
Our right as Americans seem to always be on the chopping block lately. The media is always looking for a way to spin what is happening or doctor a story that makes you believe the motives are good. Taylor Rhodes from Rocky Mountain Gun Owners stands on the front lines protecting our gun rights, but more importantly he takes time to explain what bills are being passed and the possible changes that could be coming. This is an episode you don't want to miss!
2023 is shaping up to be a big year for Able Shepherd. The building expansion is just about underway with a potential building lined up and plans for design already complete. Several new courses including breacher will be making their way to those who are in level 4. Why breaching? If there is a solid door between stopping you from protecting those you love wouldn't you want the ability to position yourself between the threat and the package? That's why! The most exciting thing though to come is the Men's Mission 2023. A Mission to help men define what a man is and have an encounter with God that will forever change their life!
Where are you going when you die? Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever thought about where the people around you will go when they leave this earth? Jimmy and BK get into a deep discussion about the burden and pain of realizing their loved one's don't know Jesus. Jimmy has been convicted, and desires, that Able Shepherd would transition from a Christ-Centered business to a CHRIST-FIRST business. In this episode, it's clear that God is really working on Jimmy's heart in a new way. Share this episode with those you love and pray about being a part of the vision and mission God has placed on Jimmy's heart. www.ableshepherd.com info@ableshepherd.com
God is expanding the mission and vision of Able Shepherd. What started out as Duty To Act ten years ago, God has turned into a movement. A family and community that expands from the west coast to the east coast. In part two of this episode we look at two Able Shepherd's, men who have felt a burden and calling to take the community Jimmy has built and start to build their own in Montana and Maine. How can we continue to expand what Able Shepherd is doing and equip more communities?
Nick Higgins, Able Shepherd #075, and Jason Campbell, Able Shepherd #086 share how God is positioning them in their own communities to use the capabilities and skills acquired through their training with Able Shepherd. Nick and Jason both heard about Able Shepherd through the Mike Seeklander Podcast and knew that they needed to be a part of this community. Jimmy also shares the convictions that God has been putting on his heart to move from a CHRIST-CENTERED company to a CHRIST-FIRST company.

This episode was recorded days after the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

The Book with Special Guest Tyler Weinischke Tyler Weinischke is in the Able Shepherd program and is working with Jimmy as an editor compiling and organizing Jimmy's voice and written notes resulting in the development of Jimmy's first book. In this podcast Jimmy and Tyler discuss the process and the vision and heart behind the book. The question is asked, What is A Man's Man? What is your response? The question has no easy answer anymore and it's vital we take the time to ponder and figure out a response. As the very fabric which our country was built upon is ripped apart. As Jimmy says we are building higher and higher while simultaneously chipping at the foundation. That is not a sustainable path forward in fact it's the exact opposite and will yield unfortunate results. Who's Jimmy Graham?

Enjoy as Jimmy and Tyler discuss the ‘J turn” and when you find yourself in a difficult situation, why you must throw it in reverse to get away from the threat, and escape to safety, while being mindful evil is pursuing us, staying in neutral is death, so you must stay in gear and drive. In the end, we as a country are going in the wrong direction. and we must turn this thing around, it must be intentional to keep moving towards good as evil will continue to pursue us. https://able-nation.org https://protectorculture.com https://ableshepherd.com https://www.facebook.com/ableshepherd/ https://www.instagram.com/ableshepherd/?hl=en https://standinthegapinitiative.com https://standcourageous.com
