America Held Hostage talks Mission, Vance/Rubio & the Gospel.

How men struggle to find purpose in Life and how we fight for joy!!

Jon opens the show with a goodbye to his pal DJ, as fatherhood/coaching/marriage take 1st priority here at the America Held Hostage podcast and DJ must answer the call. We wish him nothing but the best as his 4th child is on the way, and we look forward to still having him as a contributor as his schedule allows moving forward. Then Jon talks about how men struggle with failure & disappointment, how men after a time of just going thru the motions of life begin to realize they lack desire, passion, zeal, and purpose and begin to look for meaning thru different means that never truly satisfy. So where do men need to go?? - Jesus!!

How Men need to be Offensively Christian

In this episode, Jon and his Dad Mark discuss why Christian Masculinity needs to the offensive in nature, not in an insulting way - but in a moving forward and standing against the forces of darkness type of way. Christians who have been on the offense against evil thru out history have always been blessed in their fight by GOD to stand for righteousness. But when Christians cower from the public arena and the marketplace, cultures collapse because of cowardice and evil fills the vacuum of dominion left behind by weak ineffectual men!! So what do we do as men? - we discuss the way forward as fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, leaders, followers, and workers.

How Charlie Kirk showed that True Masculinity is found in Jesus!!

This episode of the America Held Hostage podcast, Jon's Dad - Mark Hinton lends his wisdom to show us what true Christian Masculinity looks thru the examples of Jesus and Charlie Kirk. Both Jon and Mark cite John Eldredge of "Wild at Heart" and Chuck Colson of "How Now Shall We Live" with great, timely and relevant wisdom and observational science that shows what Christian Men need to pursue and what they need to become at this critical hour.

How Scroteless Christianity leads to cultural chaos.

In this throwback edition of the America Held Hostage podcast, Jon is joined by his late Uncle Merle (aka Uncle FreightTrain) to talk about heresy in our churches that allows men to be passive and controlling women to take the lead. Cultural Chaos then ensues when MEN inside and outside the church abdicate their Biblical, God-given roles - which leads to strife, oppression, dissension, and ruin begins to pour out into our streets because before politics and culture comes the family. And when families stop honoring GOD and protecting the Imago Dei, a culture unravels from within!! From the Stally Brand digital studios - Be Challenged, Be Encouraged, and Become Engaged to "stand Boldly without wavering upon the Hope that we confess." - Heb. 10:23

The Last Stand pt. 2 & how American men need to stand boldly for Jesus!

Jon and DJ recap day 2 of the Seth Gruber's Last Stand Conference, the clarion call to stand boldly for Gospel of Jesus in a culture awash in sin, how we lead with humility, repentance, boldness, courage, and conviction - and how the GOSPEL that built the west is the only hope that can save what's left of it!!!
