Ep 82: Transgender & Truth

Video
Men’s Alliance

"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

There are two reasons a person doesn’t follow orders. Either they don’t have the will or they don’t have the skill. We have been given a direct order in the great commission which orders us to go and make disciples (Matthew 28). Men’s Alliance trains Barbarian Ambassadors through Carry the Fire to: solidify their will and gain the skills needed by teaching a rugged and practical course on apologetics.

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
