This week's War Story features Todd 'Baller' Johnson and his journey. From leaving the church at a young age and finding family with the Grateful Dead, to chasing the next good feeling... and winding up in jail. Listen to Baller's transformation through reading the bible, and finding Men's Alliance. This lead him to take his stories, bumps, and scars to become a stronger leader and man of God. We are not perfect people walking in a straight line, but God takes our stories and turns them into ways to share the word with others. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Men’s Alliance
Men don't want to be invited into a relationship, they want to be challenged with a difficult adventure. And that’s exactly what Jesus offered everyone he spoke with. Are you up for the challenge? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
In this raw conversation - Goose and Sunshine talk frankly about men’s depression and anxiety—the “black dog,” the heavy-blanket days, the pride that fuels isolation—and the simple, proven actions that bring hope back: say it out loud, call a brother, pray the name of Jesus, lift heavy, get in the woods, show up anyway. We also cover medication without stigma (defibrillator, not forever), faith as a lifeline, and why isolation is terminal.If you’re battling today, this episode is your permission to speak, reach, and move.What you’ll learn • How to break isolation and ask for help without shame • Why talking out loud instantly reduces depression’s power • Practical “today” moves: text a friend, walk a trail, lift heavy, breathe • A faith lens: praying the name of Jesus when words are hard • Medication without stigma (and how/when to revisit it) • How brotherhood (tribe) keeps you from slipping backIf you’re in crisis, you are not alone.

Mission Briefing 57: Terrified of Silence? The Truth About What You’re Running From
Video
Men’s Alliance
In a world drowning in noise, some people are terrified of silence—not because it’s empty, but because it forces them to confront their own thoughts. In this powerful reflection, Goose dives into the story of a man who couldn’t bear stillness, a man who filled every moment with sound to escape the weight of his past. But what if silence isn’t the enemy? What if it’s the key to healing? Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” Yet, too many of us drown out discomfort with constant busyness. What are we afraid of? What would happen if we sat alone with our thoughts and let God’s presence fill the void? This is an invitation: turn down the noise, be still, and face what’s inside. Because true peace isn’t found in distraction—it’s found in surrender.
