Ep 16: Is Church Just for Women & Children?

Video
Men’s Alliance

Many churches today have surrendered the battleground of men's hearts and focused instead on bringing in a demographic that's easier to attract - kids.  This mistake has led to the feminization of church. It's time for the church to meet men where they are by un-bundling the message of Jesus from the routine of "going to church." "When a mother comes to Christ, her family will join her at church only 17% of the time; but when a father comes to Christ, his family joins him 93% of the time." - WACMM.org Find your tribe at mensalliancetribe.com  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ep 7: Lighthouse Or Shipwreck

Video
Men’s Alliance

We all make mistakes; we all crash into the rocks at some point in our life.  The question is are you going to let that failure sink you to the bottom permanently, or will you illuminate the dangers to help keep others from making the same mistake?  As Christian men, we can't allow our past failures to keep us on the sideline.  Our families still need us to lead them spiritually.  So get back up, dust yourself off, and get back in the game!
