What does friendship mean to you? Where have you found friends in the past? As we get older should we continue to try and relive old friendship experiences or go in new directions as we grow in our faith journey? What is a Biblical friendship, and how can we cultivate Biblical friendships that are more connected and fulfilling then regular friendships?  It is important to surround ourselves with the right group of friends that help build us up and not pull us back.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ep 48: Don't Fear Death

Video
Men’s Alliance

In 1948 C.S. Lewis warned against being afraid of an atomic bomb, because we were all certain to die anyways, and there is always a disease, accident, or war in every period of history.  Today, these words are just as true.  We can't allow our fears to keep us on the sideline.  When death finds us, let it find us living boldly as barbarian ambassadors for Christ!
