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.

    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.

    The Protector Culture Podcast with Jimmy Graham Ep. 93: DC Reflections

    The Protector Culture Podcast with Jimmy Graham Ep. 93: DC Reflections

    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?

    The Protector Culture Podcast with Jimmy Graham Ep. 92: The Difference

    The Protector Culture Podcast with Jimmy Graham Ep. 92: The Difference

    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?

    The Protector Culture Podcast with Jimmy Graham Ep. 91: Red Flags

    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!

    The Protector Culture Podcast Ep 90: SITREP

    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!

    The Protector Culture Podcast with Jimmy Graham Ep. 89: Altar Call

    Where are you going when you die?

    Have you ever thought about it?

    Have you ever thought about where the people around you will go when they leave this earth? 

    Jimmy and BK get into a deep discussion about the burden and pain of realizing their loved one's don't know Jesus. Jimmy has been convicted, and desires, that Able Shepherd would transition from a Christ-Centered business to a CHRIST-FIRST business. In this episode, it's clear that God is really working on Jimmy's heart in a new way. 

    Share this episode with those you love and pray about being a part of the vision and mission God has placed on Jimmy's heart.

    The Protector Culture Podcast Episode 88: An Able Nation Part 2 with Nick Higgins & Jason Campbell

    God is expanding the mission and vision of Able Shepherd. What started out as Duty To Act ten years ago, God has turned into a movement. A family and community that expands from the west coast to the east coast. In part two of this episode we look at two Able Shepherd's, men who have felt a burden and calling to take the community Jimmy has built and start to build their own in Montana and Maine. How can we continue to expand what Able Shepherd is doing and equip more communities?
