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."

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 2: One Degree Off

Video
Men’s Alliance

Have you ever looked at a compass and tried to turn just one degree? A change that small is unnoticeable at first, but over time it will put you miles off course.  So many things in life are like that, and we allow ourselves to be ok with being one degree off course then we will never become the men we set out to be.  In this episode you'll hear how to set your compass each day in order to stay on course. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

We all know that we need rest, and we know we're not supposed to be lazy, but how do we tell the difference?  In this episode you'll learn how to tell the difference between resting and being lazy, and we'll also learn what it means to rest in God, and how laziness can actually inhibit God from working in your life.
