Ep 84: What's in a Name? w/ Jeff VanAtta

Names are important and they have meaning.   Looking at some of the names of God and where they come from, helps us to better understand our relationship with him.   Do you have a favorite name for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? When you pray what name do you pray to? Is it always the same one for every prayer, and in every moment? God's multiple names shows us that he has a name for every season we are in, showing that he is always present, no matter what we are going through.  Challenge What name do you pick for yourself, and what do you want your name to mean? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

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."
