Ambassador Training 1: Relativism, Pluralism & Scientism

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."

Mission Briefing 45: 2 Things You Need, 1 Thing You Don't

Video
Men’s Alliance

You signed up for a cool manly weekend doing burpees and getting yelled at by an ex-Seal? Cool! Love that for you. Will that help you be a spiritual leader and godly example for your family? Not necessarily. There is a short list of things that men need to understand their purpose in this world while getting the support they need from a tribe of God-fearing brothers so they can lead their families in the right direction, and in this Mission Briefing, Goose shares exactly what those things are. Here are the main points: - Every Christian man needs a tribe for support. - Training is essential, not just reading. - Virtual communities are not sufficient. - Practical training is crucial for spiritual leadership. - Weekend experiences do not equate to real growth. - You need to practice to share your faith effectively. - Isolation can lead to crises without support. - Building a tribe should happen before storms hit. - Men's Alliance focuses on real-life applications of faith.

Ep 33: Great Expectations w/ Jeff Van Atta

Video
Men’s Alliance

We set expectations on everything: our love life, our job, our bodies, how are family is supposed to act, and even our relationship with God. What expectations have you set that didn't come to fruition, but you still hold on to? What expectations can we place on God and which shouldn't we? What about God's expectation of you? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
