Between culture, social media, and even other Christians, there are a million loud voices telling us what's "true." How do you figure out the right path when the overwhelming majority is running the other way? Pastor Josh and Katie Rose sit down to talk about how to navigate spiritual warfare without becoming paranoid or hyper-spiritual, how to find a litmus test for truth when you don't have the whole Bible memorized, and how to survive the noise without losing your mind.

Josh McPherson is a pastor, author, founder of Stronger Man Nation, and leader of Grace City Church in Washington State. In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad Robichaux sits down with Josh for a powerful conversation about the crisis of manhood in America, the responsibility of fathers, and why boys need more than comfort, entertainment, and passive encouragement.Josh breaks down what it means for a man to be ready, willing, and able to do his job in the service of others, no matter the cost to himself. He shares the heart behind The Stronger Boy Way, his book and rite-of-passage program designed to help fathers intentionally lead their sons into manhood through challenge, mentorship, skill-building, and affirmation.Chad and Josh also discuss the need for men to step back into leadership in their homes, churches, communities, and nation. From fatherhood and mentorship to courage, responsibility, politics, culture, and faith, this episode is a call for men to stop sitting on the sidelines and start carrying the weight they were made for.Josh also shares the vision behind Freedom Con, a gathering of Christian men focused on restoring courage, conviction, and statesmanship in a culture that desperately needs strong, godly men.00:00 Intro00:49 Welcome Josh McPherson01:18 Freedom Con and the Men's Conference Lineup03:05 What Is The Stronger Boy Way?04:02 What Does It Mean to Be a Man?05:07 Fathers Leading Sons Into Manhood07:32 Rite of Passage as a Starting Line09:42 Patches, Challenge Coins, and Building Strong Boys13:33 Why Boys Need Intentional Fathers17:21 Why It's Never Too Late to Start18:39 Brotherhood, Mentorship, and Mission20:45 America's Manhood Crisis27:12 Vision, Permission, and Help for Men30:19 Why Pastors Need Moral Courage37:53 Freedom Con and Christian Statesmanship49:30 Washington State's Valley Forge Moment01:03:53 Faith, Veterans, and the White House01:18:18 Closing Thoughts and Patreon GiveawayJOSH'S LINKS:Stronger Man Nation: https://www.strongermannation.comWarrior Poet Society: https://www.warriorpoetsupplyco.comFreedom Con - Use promo code ROBO for 50% off: https://www.freedomcon26.com/ticketsStronger Boy Way Kit: https://www.warriorpoetsupplyco.com/p...——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠  / theresilientshow  Follow Us On Instagram: ⁠  / resilientshow  Follow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠  / resilientshow  Follow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠  / resilientshow  LIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠  / chadrobo_official  https://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcas...------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

Family Values - Pastor Josh Reece & Grant Me Hope - 05.31.26 by Vertical Church

Pastor Josh preaches from Joshua 1:1–9, exploring the call to be strong and courageous as one steps into a new chapter of life. In this message, we see how Joshua's reliance on God's promise and presence serves as a model for believers, reminding us that while life may not always be easy, we can move forward with confidence knowing that Christ is our only true foundation. Because of the finished work of Jesus, believers are empowered to live for Him, meditate on His word, and find the courage to love their neighbors well. Learn more about Maple Plain Community Church at https://mapleplaincc.org.

Pastor Josh looks at Matthew 5:1-12 in our sermon series, Summer on the Mount.

What if the Christian life was never meant to be powered by hustle, pressure, and trying harder? In this message from John 15 and Luke 6, Pastor Josh unpacks the difference between religious activity and real abiding in Jesus. Growth does not come from forcing fruit, hiding your wounds, or proving yourself to God. It comes from staying connected to the true vine, bringing the broken places into the presence of Jesus, and trusting Him to do what only He can do. If you have ever felt exhausted by faith, trapped in performance, wounded by religion, or unsure if God could really meet you in the middle of your mess, this message is for you. Jesus is not asking for a polished version of you. He is inviting you to come to Him, receive rest for your soul, and experience the kind of restoration that only happens when your heart is surrendered, not just your hustle.   Did you accept Christ today?

As we conclude our Deepfake series in 2 Timothy, Pastor Josh explores Paul's final charge: preach the truth. In a world where people often seek messages that affirm what they already want to hear, God calls His people to remain anchored in His Word. Through Paul's closing encouragements and warnings, we're reminded of the importance of faithfully passing on, protecting, practicing, and proclaiming God's truth. The question for each of us is this: Are we willing to hear and apply God's truth, even when it's hard? / Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live

Pastor Josh preaches a message about Jacob and his family from Genesis 34

What do you do when the person leading you is the person frustrating you the most? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh, Trevor, Larry, and Katheryn have an honest conversation about authority, difficult bosses, toxic environments, and the uncomfortable work God sometimes does in us when we would rather just leave. They talk through the tension between staying faithful in a hard place and recognizing when something has crossed into unhealthy, unsafe, or ungodly territory. This conversation is not about pretending bad leadership is okay or acting like every hard season is automatically holy. It is about learning how to pray, seek wise counsel, walk in integrity, check your own heart, and discern whether God is shaping you where you are or leading you somewhere new.   Did you accept Christ today?

Pastor Josh looks at Psalm 90 in our sermon series, Draw Near.

Pastor Josh continues our sermon series, A Big Fish Story: Jonah. With this Sunday's theme of repentance.

In John 15, Jesus tells us that He is the vine and we are the branches. The goal of the Christian life is not to grit our teeth, try harder, and force ourselves to produce fruit. The goal is to remain connected to Him. When we abide in Jesus, the Holy Spirit begins to produce the character of Christ in us, not because we are perfect, but because we are learning to follow Him one step at a time. In this message, Pastor Josh continues the From The Vine series by looking at the road between two dangerous ditches: religion and rebellion. Religion makes faith all about rules, rebellion makes life all about us, but relationship keeps us walking with Jesus. Through John 15, Psalm 143, Galatians 5, and Philippians 2, we are reminded that God is not asking us to manufacture spiritual fruit on our own. He is inviting us to trust His Spirit, surrender every part of our lives, and let Him lead us forward on firm footing.   Did you accept Christ today?

In this week's message from the Summer Stories series, Pastor Josh Slautterback dives into the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13, using the memorable story of a Venice pigeon tourist trap to bring Jesus' teaching to life. Pastor Josh walks through the four types of soil — hardened, rocky, thorny, and good — and challenges us to examine what kind of heart we're bringing to God's Word. Are we letting the truth bounce off a hardened heart, failing to put down roots in a shallow one, or allowing the distractions and deceitfulness of this world to choke out our growth? With honesty and warmth, Pastor Josh calls City Rev to cultivate a receptive, fertile heart through intentional prayer, Scripture, and community — because the way we receive the Word reveals the condition of our heart, and it's in that good soil where God does His most transformative work.

Family Values - Pastor Josh Reece - 05.24.26 by Vertical Church

Thank you for listening to this week's message from Central Valley Church! In Week 3 of our Finding Joy series, we look at Philippians 3 and the joy that comes from pursuing Jesus. Paul reminds us that our confidence is not in the flesh, our works, or our accomplishments, but in Christ alone. Jesus is our righteousness, our reward, our Savior, and our Deliverer. Because of Him, we can press on toward the goal and find true joy in knowing Him more.

In Week 1 of our EXODUS series, Pastor Josh explores what it means to experience freedom from doubt through the life of Moses. Even one of the greatest leaders in Scripture wrestled with questions many of us still ask today: “Who am I?” “Who are You, God?” and “What if I fail?” This encouraging message reminds us that doubt may visit every believer, but it doesn't have to define us. God is not intimidated by our questions, insecurities, or fears. Instead, He meets us in them and calls us forward in faith. As we begin this journey through Exodus, discover how God's calling is always greater than our insecurity and how trusting Him can lead us into freedom, purpose, and deeper faith. WHO AM I?

Pastor Josh preaches from Book of Nehemiah chapter 4 on the reality of spiritual opposition and the call to “work hard and make war.” This sermon is a powerful challenge to Christians to stand firm under criticism, fight for their families, rebuild what's broken, and remain faithful to Jesus even when facing resistance.

The Other Side | Pastor Josh Field by Riverside Church

On this week's episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with pastor, speaker, and Stronger Man Nation founder Josh McPherson for one of the most wide-ranging — and controversial — conversations the show has had yet.  From masculinity and fatherhood… to politics, faith, freedom, and the future of America — Josh argues that many of today's cultural problems stem from one central issue:Strong men have been taught to become passive men.  Josh shares why he believes modern culture increasingly portrays masculinity as “toxic,” why young men are struggling with purpose and responsibility, and how the collapse of family structure affects everything from crime and addiction to politics and education.  The conversation dives into:Why “weak men open the door for bad men”The rise of victim culture and anti-patriotismWhy churches stayed silent during COVID lockdownsThe importance of fathers, discipline, and responsibilityHow politics became impossible to ignore for many familiesWhy Josh believes Washington State has become a testing ground for dangerous ideasThey also discuss Josh's upcoming FreedomCon event at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington — a gathering focused on faith, family, patriotism, and rebuilding strong communities through strong leadership.  Whether you agree with him or not, this episode challenges many of the assumptions shaping modern culture — and asks a difficult question:What happens to a society when men stop leading, protecting, and taking responsibility?

What does it actually look like to honor authority when you disagree with the person over you? In this episode of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh and the fellas talk honestly about one of the more uncomfortable parts of following Jesus: submission, honor, difficult leaders, parents, bosses, government, and the tension of trying to obey God while living under imperfect authority. This conversation gets into real life questions like honoring a parent who does not share your faith, how Christians should think about political authority, when obedience becomes unhealthy, and where the line is when authority becomes abusive, manipulative, or asks you to sin. If you have ever struggled with a boss, parent, leader, pastor, teacher, or authority figure, this episode will help you think through honor, wisdom, boundaries, and what it means to follow Jesus with both humility and courage.   Did you accept Christ today?

Newly credentialed Matt Shiles, MCS welcomes Pastor Josh into the studio to discuss the weekend's sermon on these later chapters in Genesis, 30-31 where Jacob finds out that life isn't fair. Then Jacob learns that it's not cool to try to get revenge on those who have wronged you because God says, "Vengeance is Mine." Jacob is learning to do things according to the plans of God. Be sure to stay until the end to find out Pastor Josh's method for clearing his mind from difficult topics (Like his daughter graduating from High School). Enjoy this episode of Extra Takes!

Pastor Josh continues our sermon series on Jonah. With this Sunday's theme of running away.

Time to Represent-Pastor Josh Pate by Eastgate Church

This week, we continued our Finding Joy series with “Joy in Humility.” Through Philippians 2, we were reminded that Jesus is our greatest example of humility. He humbled Himself, served others, and was obedient to the point of death on a cross. Because of this, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. True joy is found when we take on the mindset of Christ, walk in unity, serve others, and choose humility over selfish ambition. Humility is a choice, not just a feeling, and as we follow Jesus' example, God works in us and through us.

You're in the Room for a Reason | The Book of Acts

What if the Christian life was never meant to be powered by trying harder? In this message, Pastor Josh opens the series From the Vine by walking through John 15 and the words of Jesus, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” Too often, we make the goal of faith about producing fruit, fixing ourselves, proving ourselves, or showing God we are doing enough. But Jesus points us to something deeper and better. The focus is not striving for fruit. The focus is remaining in Him. Using the picture of two miles of ditch for every mile of road, this message explores how followers of Jesus can drift into either rebellion or religion, while Jesus keeps inviting us back to the road of relationship. If you have ever felt stuck between doing whatever you want and trying to earn God's approval, this message is an invitation to come back to the Vine, learn the voice of the Good Shepherd, and ask the simple prayer that can reshape everything: teach me to abide.   Did you accept Christ today?

What does it actually mean to live by faith?Not just believe in God from a distance, not just say a prayer when things get hard and hope for the best, but actually build your entire life on the foundation of who God is and what He has promised.In this message from The Essentials series, Pastor Josh takes us into Hebrews 11, often called the Hall of Faith in Scripture. It is full of real people just like you and me who trusted God when they could not see the answer, who obeyed when they did not understand the plan, who gave when they did not have enough, and who thanked God before the breakthrough came. And who kept their faith even when things did not turn out the way they expected.If you have been stressed, worried, or wondering where God is in the middle of what you are going through this message was made for you.

I'm excited to be with you this Sunday as we step back into 1 Timothy. We'll be looking at 1 Timothy 2:1–7 this week, which begins a new section in the letter. Paul is moving on from dealing with false teachers (they'll come back up later) to focus on the heart of the letter: “how one ought to behave in the household of God” (1 Timothy 3:15). Paul begins this long section by urging the church to pray, which is the passage we will be in this Sunday. This passage has two emphases in it with the first being prayer. Paul calls the church to pray with urgency. How many of us feel this urgency in our prayer life today? As we struggle amid the busyness that modern life seems to amplify, it can be easy to lose sight of our prayer lives. Prayer, like many good things, can start to feel like a chore that we have to do instead of an incredible gift that God invites his people into. As you may have experienced, guilt tripping ourselves into praying more or trying to force ourselves into it through sheer will power usually doesn't provide lasting change. This brings us to the second emphases of our passage: the one God and the one mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ. How are these two emphases related? The insight we get here is that our prayer lives dramatically change when we remember that we are praying to the God revealed in the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is what we will be exploring together on Sunday.

Pastor Josh preaches a message from Genesis 30 and 31 about how Jacob learned about God's faithfulness. 

In this message from our Fundamentals series, Pastor Josh teaches on multiplication and the call of every believer to go and make disciples. In a culture shaped by consumer Christianity, it is easy to treat church like a service to attend rather than a mission to join. But Jesus did not give the church a great "option", He gave us the Great Commission. Pastor Josh explains the difference between our primary and secondary calling. Our primary calling is the same for every believer: to follow Jesus and make disciples. Our secondary calling is the unique expression of that mission through our gifts, vocation, and context. When those get flipped, we drift into passivity, spiritual stagnation, and a faith that revolves around being served instead of being sent. This message is a call to recover ordinary obedience, align our ambition with the heart of God, and step into the places God has already assigned us, our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and everyday relationships, with courage and compassion.
