FREEDOM CON 2026: Rise of the Statesman

In a remarkable initiative aimed at galvanizing Christian men across the nation, Stronger Man Nation has confirmed plans for FREEDOM CON: Rise of the Statesman, a significant two-day gathering scheduled for June 19-20, 2026—coinciding with Father's Day weekend in George, Washington. This event is poised to be one of the largest assemblies of Christian men in the United States this year.

A Call to Action

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence, the FREEDOM CON will feature a lineup of influential speakers, including best-selling author Eric Metaxas, Army veteran and influential podcaster Graham Allen, as well as Pastor Mark Driscoll and Warrior Poet Society's founder John Lovell. Josh McPherson, the founder of Stronger Man Nation, will also address attendees, alongside live musical performances by artists like Crowder and Danny Gokey.

Attendees can expect an array of engaging experiences such as keynote speeches, breakout sessions, live podcast recordings, vendor booths, and competitions aimed at fathers and their sons. Notably, the event will also include a worship set, held in one of the country’s premier outdoor venues, with options for camping on-site or accommodations at nearby hotels.

Empowering Christian Statesmanship

Designed to inspire action, FREEDOM CON centers on the necessity of Christian statesmanship, encouraging men to actively work towards safeguarding the vision laid out by America's Founding Fathers. Throughout the sessions, speakers will explore historical precedents, biblical foundations, and the moral imperatives driving the conversation on leadership and civic duty. With a mixture of intellectual thoroughness, unabashed patriotism, and steadfast conviction, this event intends to inspire men and boys to embrace a noble call to leadership, embodying a stronger model of manhood.

Moreover, the event will spotlight several strategic initiatives, including the Stronger Boy Way for fathers and sons, Vector West University specifically for college students, and programs like Black Robed Regiment targeting local pastors, as well as For Liberty & Justice, which aims to support Christian church initiatives.

A Message of Urgency

Pastor Josh McPherson emphasizes the urgency of the gathering, stating, "This is not merely a conference to attend; it is a call to noble duty and decisive action. Washington State needs men who understand the urgency of our times. Our nation requires men marked by unyielding courage. It is time for good men to step forward into the fire of personal commitment and public reform. We must rise as statesmen."

Moreover, he elaborates on the pressing issues families in Washington face, such as burdensome property taxes, a complex regulatory framework, and a school system that often undermines core values. By rallying men with a clear, unapologetically Christian vision, the event seeks to offer hope and a practical roadmap for real change at the local level.
