Ambassador Training 1: Relativism, Pluralism & Scientism

We're called to be Ambassador's for Christ (2 Cor 5:20) but how can we do that well if we don't know how to respond to the most common objections that the world has? In Round #1 of Ambassador Training, we'll look at each of the following objections to Christianity: Relativism - "There is no such thing as absolute truth. You have yours and I have mine." Pluralism - "All paths lead to God, there is more than one correct way." Scientism - "Only science yields truth; religion is merely a matter of opinion."

Men’s Alliance

Goose encourages embracing the reality that consistency is challenging but essential. By committing to this practice, whether it be attending the tribe weekly or investing daily in one's relationships, men can overcome the struggle with feelings that may deter them. Every attendance, every action counts and contributes significantly to personal growth and fulfillment. “Feelings should not dictate actions,” and through consistency, one can cultivate a more meaningful and impactful life, achieving more than occasional intense efforts ever could.

Mission Briefing 40: Christian Nationalism & Why Morality Should Be (and already is) Legislated

Video
Men’s Alliance

Goose addresses the accusation of Christian nationalism and the notion that morality cannot be legislated. He explains that there is no definitive definition of Christian nationalism and that it is frequently used as a derogatory term against Christians. He urges those labeled as such to request a definition from their accusers and wonders if they have truly experienced a spiritual rebirth if they cannot support laws based on their Christian morals. He asserts that morality should be legislated, as every law distinguishes between right and wrong actions. Goose challenges viewers to clarify the meaning of "you cannot legislate morality" and to reflect on the ethical implications of each law. Furthermore, he clarifies that Christian nationalism does not signify the establishment of a theocracy, but rather strives to make America as Christian as possible through voting, praying, and advocating for Christian values.
