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."

Mission Briefing 18: Will or Skill

Men’s Alliance

There are two reasons a person doesn’t follow orders. Either they don’t have the will or they don’t have the skill. We have been given a direct order in the great commission which orders us to go and make disciples (Matthew 28). Men’s Alliance trains Barbarian Ambassadors through Carry the Fire to: solidify their will and gain the skills needed by teaching a rugged and practical course on apologetics.

Video

In this raw conversation - Goose and Sunshine talk frankly about men’s depression and anxiety—the “black dog,” the heavy-blanket days, the pride that fuels isolation—and the simple, proven actions that bring hope back: say it out loud, call a brother, pray the name of Jesus, lift heavy, get in the woods, show up anyway.

Ep 76: What Made You Quit?

Video
Men’s Alliance

Do you quit when you hit a snag? Do you walk away when there's a dispute? As Christian men, should we work out our problems or ghost those who offend us? When it comes to church, many men walk away because it isn't perfect when they should be rolling up their sleeves and working to make it better. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
