Christian Men’s Conference Feature Black Panther, Motocross, and a Tank Driven by Chuck Norris Crushing Cars While ‘Danger Zone’ Plays
The 2023 Stronger Men’s Conference, which “exists to empower and motivate men to live out God’s view of manhood and be the best husbands, fathers, and leaders God has called them to be.” has come to a close. It features men like John Lindell, Levi Lusko, Craig Groschell, and Missouri State Senator Josh Hawley. According to the promo material, next year’s conference will be headlined by Mark Driscoll.
As part of Friday night’s entertainment, they frequently have large events, having featured bull-riding, strong-man shows, motocross, dunk contests, and cage fighting, with some of their past highlights seen below.
This time, they had an acrobat on a giant wheel, a fight scene with the Black Panther screaming; ‘Wakanda Forever’ a man doing stunts on a motorbike, and then a tank flattening some cars while the band plays the Top Gun theme song/ Kenny Loggins ‘Danger Zone’ mashup.
Though they allege that the 83 year old Chuck Norris’ is driving the tank while firing Uzi’ as flame cannons go off…. we cannot substantiate that it was actually him.
It’s a trip.

Cool – not an effeminate dude in sight 😛
You have clearly never met the men who attend this church.
And you have?
Yes. I live in Springfield, MO and am very familiar with James River Church. Its a church that appeals to emotional women and soft men. It has never been a solid church (remember when one of the founders faked a crime scene and left his family to start a new life with another woman), but lately their trajectory is bending toward craziness. But hey, these conferences pull in a lot of money (Its not cheap for Lindell to live in Highland Springs!) and who cares if they have to lie about regrown toes from time to time? Surely hindering true Christians from sharing the gospel won’t be a problem at judgment day!
This is Biblical masculinity? No. This is what boys who grew up without fathers think masculinity is. There is nothing manly in all these charades. No wonder we are in the condition we are as a society. We’ve emasculated and bid the geldings “be fruitful”. These men need to be challenged to be the kings of their homes, warriors for righteousness, mentors of the unlearned, and friends to the weak. They need to see and hear Christ preached. As it was once said to the apostle Philip, “Sir, we would see Jesus”.
WOW, all that from watching an opener. Do you go to the movies, watch tv, football? Did you attend the conference or attend that church? Sanctimony…
Your questions in order:
not in a few years, no, yes (CHIEFFFFS), no, yes years ago
I’m from Springfield, attended JR briefly back in the day, and have a close childhood friend who is a member of their ministry staff. To be honest, he wasn’t wrong. It’s not someplace I’d send children to learn how to be great men or women. I don’t have the same level of disdain for the place most others around here do, but I certainly can see the silliness of it all. They aren’t hiding it. This wasn’t a one-off. They are in the business of mass appeal, not preaching Christianity in any deep way.
shallow vapid meaningless distraction.
Considering the Black Panther is satanic, this is basically satanism dressed in sheep’s clothing. Hawley, Levi, Groeschel…..they’re all evil.
The black panther is a cat. One of God’s creations. Pretty sure satan had no part in it….
Obviously you’ve never met a cat.
Also, maybe not the correct forum for this, but cats weren’t ‘created’. They evolved over millions of years into what they look like today. I don’t want to threaten anyone’s faith here, but evolutionary biology is not some unfounded theory we came up with in science to trick you. It’s an entire field full of very intelligent, well studied people following lots of solid evidence to build timelines of how very observable processes in the current day worked in the past. I don’t think there are many people left in the modern world who don’t understand life evolves.
Wow. How did I miss this ? Oh – I guess puberty was a few DECADES ago.
Pretty disappointing to see Josh Hawley on the list of attendees.
Well, for one thing, you can’t drive a tank from the top hatch, position occupied by the gunman. So, Chuck Norris was *either* driving *or* shooting, not both.
Yes that’s true. Fair point. Also, that wasn’t really Chuck Norris, who is now around 80 years old and living peacefully somewhere in California.
