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. Who’s Jimmy Graham?

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
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?
