Can Christians fight back or does the Bible demand peace?

In this episode of March or Die, Jeremy Stalnecker sits down with co-host Sean Kennard, a professional MMA fighter, Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and former law enforcement officer, to tackle one of the most debated questions in the Christian community: self-defense.

Together they break down Scripture, from Exodus and Nehemiah to Luke 22, to uncover whether defending yourself and others is compatible with following Jesus. They also discuss the difference between prideful violence and righteous protection, why preparation matters, and how faith and strength can work together when confronting evil.

Faith isn’t about feelings. Too many believers give up because they don’t feel close to God, thinking their faith is gone. But the Bible is clear: faith is a decision, not an emotion.

In this episode of March or Die, Jeremy Stalnecker and Sean Kennard break down the reality that faith is built on trust, obedience, and discipline not fleeting emotions. Drawing from Hebrews 11, they explore how biblical heroes like Abraham, Moses, and Noah lived by faith even when emotions weren’t on their side.

Whether you’re in a spiritual “dry season,” wrestling with doubt, or feeling far from God, this conversation will help you take the next step forward.

“The design is that men would be protectors, leaders, providers” yet our culture seems determined to erase that calling through a war on masculinity.

In this March or Die episode, Jeremy Stalnecker and Sean Kennard expose the spiritual and cultural war on masculinity, trace its roots back to Genesis, and show why fatherless homes, rising violence, and confusion about gender roles are no accident.

More than analysis, they deliver a roadmap: accept God-given responsibility, lead with sacrificial humility, surround yourself with brothers who sharpen you, and start right where you are imperfect but present.

Whether you’re a husband, dad, single man, or a woman who cares about the men in her life, you’ll find truth, encouragement, and practical steps to stand in the gap. Watch, share, and join the movement to build men who march forward instead of staying where they are and dying.
