Any good you see is Jesus.”A direct challenge to men to put the bottle down, stop texting that other person, and go homeThis isn’t a polished Christian fairytale.

In this message, Pastor Josh McPherson continues the spiritual warfare series with a clear call to “Know Your Enemy.” From Job 1–2 and Genesis 3, he shows that Satan is real but limited—a created, defeated enemy who still works through lies, distortion, and deception to destroy lives, families, churches, and nations. Josh explains 10 truths about who Satan is and 4 key tactics he always uses: disguise, distortion, deception, and devastation. The real danger isn’t Satan’s power but believers’ ignorance and apathy. This sermon calls Christians to stop denying or appeasing the war and instead declare war in Jesus’ name—discerning lies, knowing God’s Word, and obeying it so we can walk in the victory Christ has already won.Got questions?

Pastors Josh McPherson and Kyle McMullen ask what it really means for a country to be a “Christian nation,” starting with the Pilgrims’ original motives. From there, the hosts contrast a constructive Christian vision for nations, family, and masculine responsibility with destructive revolutionary impulses, engaging critically with Nick Fuentes’ rhetoric, his views on women, Jews, history, and “America First.” They also respond to Tucker Carlson’s comments about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and just war. Josh and Kyle warn about the spiritual and cultural dangers of conspiratorial thinking, irresponsible platforms, and “darkly anointed” influencers. Want to help spread the mission of Stronger Man Nation?
