Josh McPherson

As Washington State approaches a consequential election, Pastor Josh McPherson and Pastor Adam James challenge the deceptive messaging behind political advertisements, question the influence of money in politics, and expose what they believe is a growing crisis of leadership and accountability. 
But amid the political frustration, something extraordinary happened inside the Washington State Capitol. Hundreds of Christians gathered on Saturday, October 24th to worship Jesus, pray for their leaders, and bring the presence of Christ into the halls of power. What began as another political rally became a powerful reminder that real transformation doesn't begin with politicians—it begins when the people of God faithfully take their place in the public square.

What should Christians really believe about Israel? Is the Church the fulfillment of Israel? And how should believers respond to the growing political controversy and conspiracies surrounding the Jewish people? In the final installment of their three-part conversation, Pastor Josh McPherson and Tim Barton tackle the biblical, historical, and political questions surrounding Israel. From Romans 11 and replacement theology to America's relationship with Israel and the rise of antisemitism, they challenge popular narratives with an ounce of research,  and they ask what it truly means to think biblically about Israel.
This is Part 3 of 3 with Tim Barton. Make sure to check out the other two episodes!

Should Christians stay out of politics—or does biblical faithfulness require engagement? Pastor Josh McPherson sits down with historian Tim Barton to discuss the stakes of the 2026 midterms, James Talarico and Ken Paxton in Texas, and why pastors cannot ignore addressing political issues. Christians must think biblically about policy, steward their vote faithfully, and raise up godly men and women who see political leadership not merely as politics, but as public service.

What did America’s Founders actually believe about religion, government, Islam, and the separation of church and state? Pastor Josh McPherson sits down with historian Tim Barton to examine the Barbary Wars, religious liberty, Jefferson’s “wall of separation,” the Christian ideas behind America’s founding documents, the truth about the “Jefferson Bible,” and Alexander Hamilton’s remarkable profession of faith near the end of his life... that didn't make it into the Hamilton musical.
