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.

Mission Briefing 17: A Quality Cigar

Video
Men’s Alliance

Men we need to seek quality over quantity. Whether that is food, experiences, or a cigar. In our life we need to focus on the quality of going a mile deep instead of spreading ourselves too thin and going a mile wide. Focus on deepening relationships instead of adding more acquaintances.

Mission Briefing 58: Consecrate Yourself - What It Really Means to Be Set Apart for God

Video
Men’s Alliance

What does it truly mean to consecrate yourself in today’s world? It’s a word that might seem ancient, but its significance is just as powerful now as it was in biblical times. In this video, we explore the biblical call to be set apart, looking at the story of Samson and the powerful instructions from Joshua 3:5 and Joshua 7—where God promises to do amazing things, but only after His people consecrate themselves.But here’s the twist: Consecration isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing less. It’s about removing what stands between you and God so that He can move in your life. Are there things holding you back from experiencing God’s power? Let’s dive into this life-changing principle and discover how we can truly live set apart for God’s purpose.📖 Scripture References:- Joshua 3:5 – “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”- Joshua 7:13 – “Get up, consecrate the people… You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing.”🙏 Challenge: What can you remove from your life to be fully set apart for God?

Ep 90: Toxic Masculinity

Video
Men’s Alliance

We live in a world where people believe that masculinity is toxic. So, what are we to do? Be less masculine? Sit silently on the sidelines lest someone accuse us of being toxic. Or...should our lives demonstrate that real masculinity is both physically strong and emotionally caring? Jesus taught us to be both strong and loving, to face our fears, and to lay down our lives for others. That is real masculinity. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
