Listen to full episodeI forgot my coin on a ruck with MA guys—and that meant burpees in the street of a small town diner… in the rain… with people watching.A year ago, my pride would’ve stopped me. I would’ve made excuses. I would’ve lied. I would’ve protected my image.Instead, I went outside and did the burpees.This moment showed me something deeper:Men’s Alliance + following Jesus is training me to stop caring what the world thinks.My identity isn’t in how I look.It’s not in approval.It’s not in reputation.My identity is in Christ—and that changes how I handle embarrassment, pride, and accountability.This is a story about brotherhood, integrity, freedom from people’s opinions, and learning to live fully in who Jesus says you are.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
