War Stories 6: Deadheads

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

Ep. 205: Why Does the Church Serve Junk? How We Should Serve God with Good Health and Food Habits

Video
Men’s Alliance

One of the first instructions in Genesis God gave us as humans was what we should eat — so WHY are our churches one of the worst places you can be for a healthy and nutrition-filled meal? There is a pandemic of sugar addiction and obesity in our culture and in our churches, and our guest Matthew Gay, author of “Fit Church: Destroying the Division between Following Christ and Living a Healthy Life”, is here to spread his ministry of helping Christians get closer to God by separating themselves from an unhealthy lifestyle.

Ep 53: Do Hard Things w/ Jeff VanAtta

Video
Men’s Alliance

We are not tasked with living an easy life, but are commanded by Jesus to do things that are hard. Listen to some of his commands and think about those in the Bible who have experienced hard times.  The world has gotten to comfortable where even driving to work is now considered a hardship.  Learn about the concept of Misogi and how it can help you create challenges that will truly test you, instead of easy goals that we can achieve.  Link to the Hard Times Create Strong Men Image https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1898444-hard-times-create-strong-men --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
