Church Authority

This mission brief continues the conversation from last week’s episode: No Head Higher.The point is simple: don’t put any human on a pedestal — not your lead pastor, not your counselor, not your tribe leader, not me. Your authority is God, and Scripture is the standard.But what about “church authority”? That’s where the conversation gets deeper. In the New Testament, leadership is consistently described as plural — elders, leaders, overseers — not a single man running everything. We unpack key passages like: • Hebrews 13:17 (leaders — plural) • 1 Timothy 5:17 (elders — plural) • 1 Peter 5:5 (elders — plural) • 1 Timothy 2:5 (one mediator — Jesus Christ)If your church is built on the biblical blueprint, you should see elder leadership, accountability, and authority rooted in Scripture — not personality, celebrity, or “one guy’s voice.”Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

The Truth About “Christian Nationalism” No One Explains

Video
Men’s Alliance

“Christian nationalism” is a label that gets thrown around constantly—but what does it actually mean? In this episode, we unpack where the term came from, how it’s being used in culture right now, and why many Christians who simply believe in law, order, and moral boundaries are being branded with it.We talk about the difference between forced government compassion and voluntary Christian charity, why Christians believe morality isn’t decided by popular vote, and how our faith shapes our political views—not the other way around.This is not about creating a theocracy. It’s about asking the deeper question: where do your morals come from, and who gets to decide what’s right and wrong? If you’ve ever been called a “Christian nationalist” or wondered how to respond, this episode will help you think clearly, speak wisely, and stand firm with conviction and grace.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV
