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 45: 2 Things You Need, 1 Thing You Don't

Video
Men’s Alliance

You signed up for a cool manly weekend doing burpees and getting yelled at by an ex-Seal? Cool! Love that for you. Will that help you be a spiritual leader and godly example for your family? Not necessarily. There is a short list of things that men need to understand their purpose in this world while getting the support they need from a tribe of God-fearing brothers so they can lead their families in the right direction, and in this Mission Briefing, Goose shares exactly what those things are. Here are the main points: - Every Christian man needs a tribe for support. - Training is essential, not just reading. - Virtual communities are not sufficient. - Practical training is crucial for spiritual leadership. - Weekend experiences do not equate to real growth. - You need to practice to share your faith effectively. - Isolation can lead to crises without support. - Building a tribe should happen before storms hit. - Men's Alliance focuses on real-life applications of faith.

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
