In this episode of the Stronger Man Nation podcast, Pastor Josh McPherson interviews Pastor Riley Halliday, a former U.S. Air Force Special Operator turned church‑planter. They explore (1) the “battle‑ready” profile of future pastors, (2) Riley’s decade of classified missions and what they taught him about leadership, discernment, discipline and integrity, and (3) hot‑button racial and cultural issues within the Church. This is a candid, story‑rich conversation full of metaphors that challenge today’s “soft‑pastor” trend and call men to courageous, Spirit‑led action.
