Mission Briefing 28: Auditing Church

Church is not a building. We can worship God outside with our friends and family around a fire or wherever we feel most at home. The critical action is pursuing Christ, and being in community with others who are doing the same. Find your type of ministry and fulfill the great commission!

Ep 144: Mental Health Part 2 w/Mike Flynn

Video
Men’s Alliance

Mike Flynn is back on the podcast (Ep 119 Relationship Advice) Listen in as Mike talks about the need to be on a team and the importance of talking about mental health. Close friends get to know the real you over time and can identify when you are not being your true self. While Jesus had a tribe, he still took time alone for himself. This may require identifying when we are busy and saying no to things in order to free up our time.

Ep 145: Men Making a Difference w/ Glen Sturtevant

Video
Men’s Alliance

This week Glen Sturtevant joins the show to discuss how men can make an impact in their communities. Glen is a former Virginia state senator who is up for reelection. Glen has also been a part of the Richmond city school board, his day job as a lawyer focuses on military members and the service they have received with the Veterans Affairs department. We need to ignore the headlines of the national politics and focus on our communities, the same way the apostles spread the word of Jesus. This starts at the dinner table and leading your family, and showing how to make hard decisions that are right, but not popular.

Relating our personal redemption story doesn’t bring others to Jesus. Sharing the truth of Jesus is what matters, and sharing the facts leads others to accept Jesus as their savior. More about J.

Ep 175: How Great Men Grieve

Video
Men’s Alliance

Johanna Stamps, a licensed grief counselor, talks about how we have to acknowledge grief and mourn in order to continue to move towards God’s vision for our life.  Many items can be lost such as a job, pets, friendships, and marriages.  As men, we need to take time and space to let our brain catch up to the event that has happened. Johanna shares her 7 steps included below and talks about the power of writing a closure letter on the grief you are going through. How to connect with Johanna:johannastamps.com804 944 [email protected] Men’s Alliance | How Great Men Grieve “If you loved it, and lost it, then grieve it” Grief is like an epic hike through a desolate land. 7 Steps of the Journey: 1. TRAILHEAD: AT THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY a. Set the intention to heal, to integrate b. Look for a sign you are grieving: Cognitive, Affective, Physical, Spiritual c. You ONLY work where grief is coming up, that’s the beginning d. Feel the pain (No pain, No gain)... It brings healing 2. LOOK AT THE MAP (Pssst... it’s a magical map) a. The magical map only appears as you walk forward in your grief b. It’s completely unique to you (circumstance, personality, etc.) c. Dispel misconceptions (don’t look for stages) 3. BEGIN WALKING a. Small doses as it comes up b. One thing at a time c. We cannot grieve all at one time. We wouldn’t be able to take it! d. Be creative... example: recognizing important dates (or your body will tell you) 4. GATHER WITH OTHERS - DON’T GRIEVE IN ISOLATION a. Grieving is internal - Mourning is your external or public experience of grief b. ESSENTIAL - speak about the experience of the loss, memories, etc. c. Moves from the head to the heart (READ THIS AGAIN!!!) d. Look for the 1⁄3 who are good with grief (most likely someone who has dealt with their own grief) 5. STOP FOR REST a. Sustenance for your epic journey b. Maybe learn to rest for the first time 6. EXERCISE JOY AND PAIN MUSCLE a. Like any normal ruck or hike there is joy with the pain b. Practice this often when you are grieving 7. GET TO THE LOOKOUT a. Reflect on how far you have come (when you look at the loss with less pain) b. See parts of yourself that are becoming whole again - integrating the loss c. This is OFTEN understanding who you are (e.g. identity) Sponsor: Tom 'Doc' Love CFP®, CRPC®, CRPS® [email protected] Craig Heah.

Our Response to Tragedy

Video
Men’s Alliance

An absolute tragedy in America as Charlie Kirk has gone to be with the Lord. A godly father, husband, and leader that consistently spoke the truth of Jesus to a truth-hating world. Thank you for all the seeds you’ve planted and may God be glorified even in the darkest of times.
