  • It's easy to look at a problem in the world and say, "Somebody should do something!" At Able Shepherd we say, "People are the problem and people are the solution." So if you apply that , why aren't you doing something about the evil you see in the world? Why aren't you working to change it.

  • At Able Shepherd we believe that adventure is at the heart of every man, woman and child. Over the last couple years men, women and children through Able Shepherd have participated in several BDR's (Backcountry Discovery Routes) which are routes designed for adventure motorcycle riding. This year they took on the Utah BDR and were met with one incident after another, but ended with the same results as previous...coming back a better version of themselves!

  • Over the last couple months Able Shepherd was under attack for having members of the community protesting a Drag Show in Castle Rock. The protest was not an Able Shepherd organized or sanctioned event. It was men and women who share the same desire to protect their community! Following the event there was a meeting, in this video Jimmy and BK look at this meeting and give context to the conversation.

  • On August 26, 2023 a group of men protested the Douglas County Pride Festival that happened at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. They protested peacefully by simply wearing shirts that read Stand to Protect Children on the front and Jesus Loves You (and so do I) on the back. They were met with vulgarity, assault and intimidation. The media has taken one side of the story. In this episode Jimmy recalls the events of that day.

  • In Episode 99 of The Protector Culture Podcast Jimmy and BK give an update at what has happened at Able Shepherd in the last couple months, but further more reflect on how in every situation there has been a need for a second option. A need to step back and re-evaluate. IN every situation you have multiple options. Which one is the right one?

Green Pen First is a story I'm sure you have heard, but Jimmy puts a new perspective to it. Green Pen First is a reminder that if we don't prioritize our family they will get least amount of time.

  • Who is responsible for the next generation? What legacy do we want to leave for our kids and our grandkids? If we are honest with ourselves we aren't thinking about the future only the present moment. We have to stop saying someone else will fix the problems around us and start asking ourselves how we can be the solution! OUR KIDS FUTURE'S DEPEND ON IT!

  • On the year anniversary of the horrific school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvaldle, Texas. Jimmy was given an opportunity to speak in Washington D.C. on what should have been done differently.

    In his time in DC Jimmy was challenged and burdened with the country we live in and what has to be done differently to create a life for our children that encapsulates the freedom's we enjoy in America.

    What must change now?

  • Over the last year we have seen two school shootings with two very different results. Uvalde was an hour and a half and yielded an hour and a half of footage from badge cams and security cameras that left us questioning why 21 people had to die.

    Nashville happened with swift intentional actions but still left us asking why one individual would choose such horrendous actions.

    Jimmy and BK look at both events and provide points for consideration - not to put down law enforcement or those involved - but to explain what could have been done differently.

    What was the difference?

  • Our right as Americans seem to always be on the chopping block lately. The media is always looking for a way to spin what is happening or doctor a story that makes you believe the motives are good. Taylor Rhodes from Rocky Mountain Gun Owners stands on the front lines protecting our gun rights, but more importantly he takes time to explain what bills are being passed and the possible changes that could be coming. This is an episode you don't want to miss!

  • 2023 is shaping up to be a big year for Able Shepherd. The building expansion is just about underway with a potential building lined up and plans for design already complete. Several new courses including breacher will be making their way to those who are in level 4. Why breaching? If there is a solid door between stopping you from protecting those you love wouldn't you want the ability to position yourself between the threat and the package? That's why! The most exciting thing though to come is the Men's Mission 2023. A Mission to help men define what a man is and have an encounter with God that will forever change their life!
