Ep 144: Mental Health Part 2 w/Mike Flynn

Video
Men’s Alliance

Mike Flynn is back on the podcast (Ep 119 Relationship Advice) Listen in as Mike talks about the need to be on a team and the importance of talking about mental health. Close friends get to know the real you over time and can identify when you are not being your true self. While Jesus had a tribe, he still took time alone for himself. This may require identifying when we are busy and saying no to things in order to free up our time.

Ep 127: Confusing Bible Verses

Video
Men’s Alliance

This week Chris "Knuckles" Luck rejoins the show to discuss confusing bible verses. Listen to Knuckles previous podcast episode War Stories 2: Hells Angels. Greg Koukl says "Never read a bible verse. Instead always read a paragraph at least". The Bible contains many different styles of writing such as: biography, poetry, letters, and history. We have to avoid taking verses out of context from the Bible and applying verses to our life if they were written for others. Always continue to learn more about the context of the verses, we do this by talking with other trusted Christians and reading commentaries such as the ones listed below.

Mission Briefing 26: Is Abortion Political?

Video
Men’s Alliance

Are Christians supposed to refrain from discussing political issues? What about child sacrifice? Are we to confront evil as Jeremiah did, or sit safely on the sidelines ignoring evil if it’s disguised as politics? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ep 92: Brotherhood w/ Connor Dillingham

Video
Men’s Alliance

Brotherhood is much different than a casual buddy that you watch a  football game with.  Who are your real brothers? A brother is there for you in the tough times, and shares common purpose. You  can rely on him and turn to him when you need him most.  This makes the  good times even better! We  all need true brothers to share life with.  As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. King Solomon was on to something there!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
