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."

Ep 145: Men Making a Difference w/ Glen Sturtevant

Video
Men’s Alliance

This week Glen Sturtevant joins the show to discuss how men can make an impact in their communities. Glen is a former Virginia state senator who is up for reelection. Glen has also been a part of the Richmond city school board, his day job as a lawyer focuses on military members and the service they have received with the Veterans Affairs department. We need to ignore the headlines of the national politics and focus on our communities, the same way the apostles spread the word of Jesus. This starts at the dinner table and leading your family, and showing how to make hard decisions that are right, but not popular.

Mission Briefing 18: Will or Skill

Video
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.
