Ep 128: Don't Outsource This

You might outsource having your oil changed or your lawn mulched, but as a father you cannot outsource the spiritual growth of your children.

Mission Briefing 57: Terrified of Silence? The Truth About What You’re Running From

Video
Men’s Alliance

In a world drowning in noise, some people are terrified of silence—not because it’s empty, but because it forces them to confront their own thoughts. In this powerful reflection, Goose dives into the story of a man who couldn’t bear stillness, a man who filled every moment with sound to escape the weight of his past. But what if silence isn’t the enemy? What if it’s the key to healing? Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” Yet, too many of us drown out discomfort with constant busyness. What are we afraid of? What would happen if we sat alone with our thoughts and let God’s presence fill the void? This is an invitation: turn down the noise, be still, and face what’s inside. Because true peace isn’t found in distraction—it’s found in surrender.

Ep 175: How Great Men Grieve

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.

Ep 14: Equip Your Kids

Video
Men’s Alliance

Our kids are a lot smarter than most churches think.  And we should teach them the deep answers to tough questions.  Set them up to know what they believe and why.  Demand more from your youth group than just games and pizza.  If you want your kid to have a foundation that cannot be shaken by their atheists college professors than give them the apologetics they crave now.  Trust me, they can handle it.  Recommended Books: I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be An Atheist - Frank Turek Cold Case Christianity - J. Warner Wallace Tactics - Greg Koukl Can Science Explain Everything - John Lennox Stealing From God - Frank Turek The Case For Christ - Lee Strobel No God But One - Nabeel Qureshi Recommended Debates on Youtube: John Lennox vs. Richard Dawkins John Lennox vs. Christopher Hitchens Dan Wallace vs. Bart Ehrman James White vs. Bart Ehrman William Lane Craig vs. Shabir Ally Find your tribe at mensalliancetribe.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
