Justin McLane brings a rare combination of military service, pastoral leadership, and personal transformation to every stage — equipping audiences to stand firm in a polarized world.

Justin McLane did not arrive at faith through a comfortable pew. He spent twenty-eight years as a practicing pagan, raised in an anti-Christian household, before a genuine encounter with God changed everything. He deployed twice to Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division, came home, and eventually found himself standing behind a pulpit in eastern Tennessee — leading a growing church and writing a book that has already begun changing lives.
"I am not a polished speaker who studied faith from a distance. I lived the opposition. I know what it costs to change your mind - and your life - in a world that pushes back."
Justin McLane
His story of estrangement — from a mother who targeted Christian leaders online and a father who cut ties after a political vote — gives him unmatched credibility when speaking about division, reconciliation, and what it truly means to hold conviction without compromise.

Finding the Father in a Crowded World
Twenty-eight years as a practicing pagan. A combat deployment. A family that walked away. And a God who showed up anyway. Justin shares the raw, unfiltered story of how a life built on the wrong foundation was rebuilt — and what that means for anyone who feels too far gone.
What do you do when your faith costs you your family? When your vote costs you your father? Justin unpacks the framework he calls Convictional Resilience — how to hold your ground without hardening your heart, and how to stay in the fight when the personal cost is real.
Based on his 2026 book, Justin walks audiences through the difference between religion and relationship — and why so many people, including wounded veterans and new believers, are walking away from the church without ever truly encountering God. A message of hope for a distracted generation.
As a lifetime member of the Second Amendment Foundation, a Tennessee-certified firearms instructor, and a combat veteran, Justin makes the biblical and constitutional case for the right to keep and bear arms — and why people of faith must be at the forefront of that conversation.
"Justin's story is unlike anything I have heard from a stage. He is not performing — he is testifying. Our men's retreat was transformed by his message."

"As a veteran myself, I was skeptical. But Justin speaks the language of the foxhole and the pulpit at the same time. That is rare. Our guys needed to hear this."
