## Resource

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 Intro 00:49 Welcome Josh McPherson 01:18 Freedom Con and the Men’s Conference Lineup 03:05 What Is The Stronger Boy Way? 04:02 What Does It Mean to Be a Man? 05:07 Fathers Leading Sons Into Manhood 07:32 Rite of Passage as a Starting Line 09:42 Patches, Challenge Coins, and Building Strong Boys 13:33 Why Boys Need Intentional Fathers 17:21 Why It’s Never Too Late to Start 18:39 Brotherhood, Mentorship, and Mission 20:45 America’s Manhood Crisis 27:12 Vision, Permission, and Help for Men 30:19 Why Pastors Need Moral Courage 37:53 Freedom…
