Josh McPherson is the ‘Lead Pastor of Preaching & Vision’ of Grace City Church in Wenatchee, WA, as well as the founder of Stronger Man Nation, a website dedicated to providing resources to men to help lead their families.
We last covered him after he defended his partnership with Paula White.
During a his March 2025 sermon ‘The blinding power of damning greed,’ McPherson argues that Christians are obligated to tithe their ‘first fruits’ to the church, and that those who don’t should be likened to the homosexuals facing damnation in 1 Corinthians 6.
Do not be deceived-Blindness comes from deceit- Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who have sex with men, nor thieves, nor the what? Greedy. Nor the drunkards, nor the slanderers, nor the swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
That’s a strong word. And Paul intends it to be strong. And here, some of you have been claiming to follow Jesus for years and years and years, you’re coming to this church and you don’t give a dime or you tip God when you remember to.
And as God is my witness, men, with all the love in my heart, you know I love you. You know I love you. You may not like what I say, but you cannot say I do not love you.
If you’re sitting here and claiming to be a Stronger Man’ and wearing the gear and you are not tithing to God through this church, and you’re some alpha male that likes to look down on all those ‘gay sex men,’ just know that God views you and those men as the same.
He concludes:
Don’t sit here on your high alpha male horse, looking at all these perverts out there having sex with men, when you withhold from God his tithe. God views that man and you as one in the same.
You’re like, ‘you trying to shame me?’ A thousand percent I’m trying to shame you. You’re like, ‘is that biblical?’ You’ve never read the book, have you? Verse six, ‘I say all of this to shame you.’ That’s a verse in the Bible.
