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."

"The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?" Jeremiah 17:9 We should NOT follow our hearts. We should not base our decisions on how we FEEL. Feelings change, hearts deceive us, but the objective Truth of the Gospel of Jesus is unchanging. Make no mistake, culture is attacking gender because "God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Culture is attacking Truth because Jesus said, "I am the Truth," and culture is attacking love because scripture teaches that God is love. It's a well-orchestrated attack against the very nature and image of God, and we must be men who stand for the Truth. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
Listen to full episodeBill Gates said, “DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.” In each cell in your body there is a word that is 6.4 billion letters long. It's called your DNA, and it's more advanced than any computer software ever created. So, who wrote that DNA software that makes you uniquely you? If you believe that even a simple cave painting had a designer, then you must admit that the most advanced software ever created must certainly have a designer too. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
