We all know that we need rest, and we know we're not supposed to be lazy, but how do we tell the difference?  In this episode you'll learn how to tell the difference between resting and being lazy, and we'll also learn what it means to rest in God, and how laziness can actually inhibit God from working in your life.

We cannot be the light of the world if we do not go into the darkness. As Christians we need to go out into the world and share the good news.

Ambassador Training 5: Evil as Evidence for God

Video
Men’s Alliance

When people ask why a good God would allow evil, chances are they've never stopped to consider how they know the difference between good and evil. If there is an objective, universal standard of good and evil that every human knows in their heart, then where did that "moral law" come from? Answer: it came from a Moral Law Giver. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ep 39: Fake Courage

Video
Men’s Alliance

The Spartan army didn't need to motivate themselves before battle by screaming or banging their swords against their shields. They were steady, calm, and quiet. Their confidence came from their training. They were more prepared for war than their opponent, and they knew it.  We need to be just as prepared, steady, and confident when it comes to spiritual warfare. Men's Alliance provides the training necessary to take us from being amateur fighters to being spiritual Spartans! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

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
