Mission Briefing 47: Cowboys and Indians - Crazy Horse, Custer, and the Power of a Tribe

Video
Men’s Alliance

Goose shares the story of Crazy Horse and General Custer, and teaches us a powerful lesson about the significance of community and collaboration. Strength lies in unity: History shows that teams, or "tribes", achieve greatness through collective efforts rather than isolated endeavors. This principle transcends military contexts; it applies to our personal lives as well. Embracing the support of a strong community or a band of brothers can propel individuals toward success against the odds that life throws at us. Establishing meaningful and consistent connections within a God-fearing tribe is essential for overcoming life's battles. Let's recognize that isolation is terminal and seek connection for a stronger future with our brotherhood of Christian men.

You can’t be angry at someone for overrunning a line that doesn’t exist. Well-defined boundaries in any relationship are necessary. They protect us from the whims of others and prevent resentment and anger down the road. Improve your relationships by reading Boundaries by Dr.'s Cloud and Townsend.

Ep 41: Faith vs Works

Video
Men’s Alliance

Are we saved through faith alone, or do we have to earn our salvation through good works? This episode explains how salvation is only through trusting in God, not by our own works.  However, once we are saved, our lives will start producing good works. So, if your life is no different from your unsaved neighbor then are you really saved? --- 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
