Mission Briefing 39: I Am Not Pro-Life, I Am Anti-Abortion - How to Navigate this Important Topic

Video
Men’s Alliance

Pro- Life, Pro Choice, what does it all mean and what do we as Christians actually subscribe to? Goose shares a fresh perspective on this topic and maybe another way to phrase how we feel about this topic, as there is always a lot of debate and the opposition likes to try to argue obtuse points to "prove" that we as Christians are in fact, not Pro-Life. The big takeaway here is that Pro-Life and Anti-Abortion are different things. Convicted murderers deserve the death penalty - that is not inherently Pro-Life, and that's why where we stand is Anti-Abortion. These arguments will come up as you are defending the Faith and these are conversations that we need to be prepared for.

Ep 49: Be More Offensive

Men’s Alliance

Are you afraid of being offensive?  Do you not want to offend people of other religions by telling them that Jesus is the only way to salvation?  If so, then you're not a barbarian, you're a coward.  It's time to man up, speak the truth, and embrace being offensive - just like Jesus did.

Ep 42: Put Your Pants On

Video
Men’s Alliance

Are you still watching church from your living room each Sunday? If you haven't taken your family back to church in person yet, then it's way overdue for you to put your spiritual leader pants on and lead your family back to church. Because it's not a matter of whether you can worship God from your living room, it's a matter of whether you can encourage other Christians from there? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
