Ep 122: Adversity

As our November monthly memory verse says: "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" - John 16:33.  This week Joseph 'Iron' Willis is back on the podcast, talking about adversity that he has experienced in his life.  Iron discusses how he has faced adversity before and how his recent situation compares.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ambassador Training 1: Relativism, Pluralism & Scientism

Video
Men’s Alliance

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."
