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 31: Reject Easy

Men’s Alliance

“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
