Listen to full episodeEver feel like the Men's Alliance workout is too hard? Like the bar is set too high? In this podcast you'll hear how that is a metaphor for our spiritual lives, too. The standard set for us is Jesus Christ and we all fall short of the mark. At Men's Alliance we give ourselves grace when we fall short of the standard, but we will never lower the bar. Not physically and not spiritually either. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
Listen to full episodeCulture is what makes a group unique and it's what determines who is the "us" and "them." What sort of culture have you created in your family? Is it a fun family culture that will be fondly remembered for generations? If not, you can change that today. You can build the culture you want. In Men's Alliance we have a culture unlike any group I've ever been in. It sets us apart as a group of men who value honor, strength, patriarchy, and God, - a brotherhood of like-minded men. It's our culture that makes Men's Alliance incredible. Find your tribe at mensalliancetribe.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
