Ep 127: Confusing Bible Verses

This week Chris "Knuckles" Luck rejoins the show to discuss confusing bible verses. Listen to Knuckles previous podcast episode War Stories 2: Hells Angels. Greg Koukl says "Never read a bible verse. Instead always read a paragraph at least". The Bible contains many different styles of writing such as: biography, poetry, letters, and history. We have to avoid taking verses out of context from the Bible and applying verses to our life if they were written for others. Always continue to learn more about the context of the verses, we do this by talking with other trusted Christians and reading commentaries such as the ones listed below. Suggested Bible Commentaries: Warren Wiersbe Matthew Henry John MacArthur Wayne Grudem --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” ― Theodore Roosevelt Avoid the lure of making things easier, break out of routine. Raise the bar each week with workouts and devotions, to achieve becoming the husbands, fathers, and leaders God designed us to be. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Video
Men’s Alliance

Johanna Stamps, a licensed grief counselor, talks about how we have to acknowledge grief and mourn in order to continue to move towards God’s vision for our life.  Many items can be lost such as a job, pets, friendships, and marriages.  As men, we need to take time and space to let our brain catch up to the event that has happened. Johanna shares her 7 steps included below and talks about the power of writing a closure letter on the grief you are going through. How to connect with Johanna:johannastamps.com804 944 [email protected] Men’s Alliance | How Great Men Grieve “If you loved it, and lost it, then grieve it” Grief is like an epic hike through a desolate land. 7 Steps of the Journey: 1. TRAILHEAD: AT THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY a. Set the intention to heal, to integrate b. Look for a sign you are grieving: Cognitive, Affective, Physical, Spiritual c. You ONLY work where grief is coming up, that’s the beginning d. Feel the pain (No pain, No gain)... It brings healing 2. LOOK AT THE MAP (Pssst... it’s a magical map) a. The magical map only appears as you walk forward in your grief b. It’s completely unique to you (circumstance, personality, etc.) c. Dispel misconceptions (don’t look for stages) 3. BEGIN WALKING a. Small doses as it comes up b. One thing at a time c. We cannot grieve all at one time. We wouldn’t be able to take it! d. Be creative... example: recognizing important dates (or your body will tell you) 4. GATHER WITH OTHERS - DON’T GRIEVE IN ISOLATION a. Grieving is internal - Mourning is your external or public experience of grief b. ESSENTIAL - speak about the experience of the loss, memories, etc. c. Moves from the head to the heart (READ THIS AGAIN!!!) d. Look for the 1⁄3 who are good with grief (most likely someone who has dealt with their own grief) 5. STOP FOR REST a. Sustenance for your epic journey b. Maybe learn to rest for the first time 6. EXERCISE JOY AND PAIN MUSCLE a. Like any normal ruck or hike there is joy with the pain b. Practice this often when you are grieving 7. GET TO THE LOOKOUT a. Reflect on how far you have come (when you look at the loss with less pain) b. See parts of yourself that are becoming whole again - integrating the loss c. This is OFTEN understanding who you are (e.g. identity) Sponsor: Tom 'Doc' Love CFP®, CRPC®, CRPS® [email protected] Craig Heah.

How to Reach Men in Your Church (Pastors Need to Hear This)

Video
Men’s Alliance

Goose sits down with Jason “Eagle” Dickinson, a pastor from Albuquerque, New Mexico, whose world was flipped upside down in one moment of Holy Spirit conviction. After witnessing broken families and men drifting spiritually, Eagle cried out to God for a strategy—something REAL that would ignite the hearts of men in his church.Six months later, in a packed conference lobby in Dallas, he saw a booth he’d never heard of: Men’s Alliance. A pull-up bar. A creed on the wall. A few guys with call signs like Goose and Thor slinging coffee and brotherhood. And in that moment, Eagle sensed God whisper: “This is what you’ve been looking for.”He walked straight out of the conference, found Goose in the lobby, and said the words that changed New Mexico:“I’m going home to start a tribe next Saturday.”What happened next is nothing short of supernatural.In this conversation, Goose and Eagle dive into why Men’s Alliance works where other men’s ministries fail—how physical struggle, outdoor fire, authenticity, call signs, and weekly leadership opportunities awaken something inside a man that sitting in a church pew never will.They talk about men breaking free from addictions, pastors finally having a place to “just be a dude,” tribes multiplying, churches becoming healthier, families changing, and why men were designed by God to do hard things—in workouts, in marriage, and in fatherhood.If you’ve ever wondered:How do you actually reach the men in your church? How do you disciple men who don’t open up? How do you build a culture where men step up instead of shrink back?—you are about to hear the answer.This is the New Mexico story.It’s raw. It’s powerful.And it might be the spark your church—or your state—needs next.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV
