Mission Briefing 31: Reject Easy

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” ― Theodore Roosevelt Avoid the lure of making things easier, break out of routine. Raise the bar each week with workouts and devotions, to achieve becoming the husbands, fathers, and leaders God designed us to be. --- 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!

Video
Men’s Alliance

Men in children’s ministry… is that weird??Most churches act like kids’ and youth ministry is “for the ladies.” But what happens when godly men step into kids’ and student ministry on purpose?In this episode, Goose sits down with Warrior, Coach, and Joe McAndrew from LCBC to talk about: • Why it feels weird for men to serve with kids • How the feminization of the church left a gap that men must fill • The power of a present, steady man in a middle school or high school small group • Why you don’t have to teach — you just have to show up and listen • How your past struggles are exactly what some kid needs to hear • What kids today are actually facing: social media, anxiety, school shootings, isolation • How serving with your wife models a godly marriage for both boys and girls • Why deployment after PATCH should include your church’s kids & studentsIf you’ve ever thought:“I’m not a teacher.”“My past is too messy.”“I don’t know what kids are into these days.”…this episode will blow up those excuses.Kids don’t need you to be cool.They don’t need you to know what “skibidi toilet” means.They need you to care, to listen, and to be a solid man of God in the room.👉 If you’re a tribesman wondering where to deploy after PATCH or after your weekly fire, your church’s children’s and student ministry might be your next battlefield.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV
