Ambassador Training 4: DNA as Evidence for God

Bill 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

Ep 14: Equip Your Kids

Video
Men’s Alliance

Our kids are a lot smarter than most churches think.  And we should teach them the deep answers to tough questions.  Set them up to know what they believe and why.  Demand more from your youth group than just games and pizza.  If you want your kid to have a foundation that cannot be shaken by their atheists college professors than give them the apologetics they crave now.  Trust me, they can handle it.  Recommended Books: I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be An Atheist - Frank Turek Cold Case Christianity - J.

Ep 74: What is Friendship? w/ Corey Hence

Video
Men’s Alliance

What does friendship mean to you? Where have you found friends in the past? As we get older should we continue to try and relive old friendship experiences or go in new directions as we grow in our faith journey? What is a Biblical friendship, and how can we cultivate Biblical friendships that are more connected and fulfilling then regular friendships?  It is important to surround ourselves with the right group of friends that help build us up and not pull us back.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ep 175: How Great Men Grieve

Video
Men’s Alliance

Johanna Stamps, a licensed grief counselor, talks about how we have to acknowledge grief and mourn in order to continue to move towards God’s vision for our life.  Many items can be lost such as a job, pets, friendships, and marriages.  As men, we need to take time and space to let our brain catch up to the event that has happened. Johanna shares her 7 steps included below and talks about the power of writing a closure letter on the grief you are going through. How to connect with Johanna:johannastamps.com804 944 [email protected] Men’s Alliance | How Great Men Grieve “If you loved it, and lost it, then grieve it” Grief is like an epic hike through a desolate land. 7 Steps of the Journey: 1. TRAILHEAD: AT THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY a. Set the intention to heal, to integrate b. Look for a sign you are grieving: Cognitive, Affective, Physical, Spiritual c. You ONLY work where grief is coming up, that’s the beginning d. Feel the pain (No pain, No gain)... It brings healing 2. LOOK AT THE MAP (Pssst... it’s a magical map) a. The magical map only appears as you walk forward in your grief b. It’s completely unique to you (circumstance, personality, etc.) c. Dispel misconceptions (don’t look for stages) 3. BEGIN WALKING a. Small doses as it comes up b. One thing at a time c. We cannot grieve all at one time. We wouldn’t be able to take it! d. Be creative... example: recognizing important dates (or your body will tell you) 4. GATHER WITH OTHERS - DON’T GRIEVE IN ISOLATION a. Grieving is internal - Mourning is your external or public experience of grief b. ESSENTIAL - speak about the experience of the loss, memories, etc. c. Moves from the head to the heart (READ THIS AGAIN!!!) d. Look for the 1⁄3 who are good with grief (most likely someone who has dealt with their own grief) 5. STOP FOR REST a. Sustenance for your epic journey b. Maybe learn to rest for the first time 6. EXERCISE JOY AND PAIN MUSCLE a. Like any normal ruck or hike there is joy with the pain b. Practice this often when you are grieving 7. GET TO THE LOOKOUT a. Reflect on how far you have come (when you look at the loss with less pain) b. See parts of yourself that are becoming whole again - integrating the loss c. This is OFTEN understanding who you are (e.g. identity) Sponsor: Tom 'Doc' Love CFP®, CRPC®, CRPS® [email protected] Craig Heah.

Ep 121: Men's Ministry in America

Video
Men’s Alliance

Men's ministry needs to create bonds, if your version of a men's ministry is only a monthly breakfast, that just doesn't cut it. Churches need to step up their game when it comes to connecting with men, and that is where Men's Alliance makes a huge impact.
