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 22: Never Retire!

Video
Men’s Alliance

Don’t Plan to retire, plan for your next mission and make it impactful! God gave you specific time and talents to work towards the kingdom. Poem by Marianne Williamson: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

In the military, the steps to become promotable require sacrifice and discipline, but they are clearly laid out for us.

What is a tool: a device that adds in accomplishing a task.  Or something used in performing an operation or necessary in the practice of a vocation such as a scholars books are his tools. Humans are the only creature who uses tools to create tools. Its important to have the right tools for the job.   But how do you know the right tools to have? How do we develop new tools? What tools can we use to help us grow? Do the old tools you have serve you anymore? Which tools do you need to maintain, and which ones can you get rid of? What tools has God given you?  Are you willing to be the tool in Gods Hand?
