The old phrase "Marriage takes hard work" is a gross understatement. The truth is there will be times when you want to kill each other! But when you find yourself in one of these low points in marriage and you're thinking about walking away, know this - we've all been there, and it will get better. Hey, we wouldn't have to take a vow before God that "until death do us part" if this marriage thing were supposed to be easy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

We live in a world where people believe that masculinity is toxic. So, what are we to do? Be less masculine? Sit silently on the sidelines lest someone accuse us of being toxic. Or...should our lives demonstrate that real masculinity is both physically strong and emotionally caring? Jesus taught us to be both strong and loving, to face our fears, and to lay down our lives for others. That is real masculinity. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

"The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?" Jeremiah 17:9 We should NOT follow our hearts. We should not base our decisions on how we FEEL. Feelings change, hearts deceive us, but the objective Truth of the Gospel of Jesus is unchanging. Make no mistake, culture is attacking gender because "God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Culture is attacking Truth because Jesus said, "I am the Truth," and culture is attacking love because scripture teaches that God is love. It's a well-orchestrated attack against the very nature and image of God, and we must be men who stand for the Truth. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
