We're called to be Ambassador's for Christ (2 Cor 5:20) but how can we do that well if we don't know how to respond to the most common objections that the world has? In Round #1 of Ambassador Training, we'll look at each of the following objections to Christianity: Relativism - "There is no such thing as absolute truth. You have yours and I have mine." Pluralism - "All paths lead to God, there is more than one correct way." Scientism - "Only science yields truth; religion is merely a matter of opinion."

This week Steve "Big Panda" Radabaugh gets on the show talking about the great commission and how Men's Alliance creates that environment around the fire. The truth is we do not have to go far from home to make disciples, we should start with leading our family and children to become disciples. We need to educate and train our children or as C.S. Lewis said "We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise." Panda drops knowledge about men who throughout time have stood up and pushed back on paganism and instead spread the good news.
