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

Mission Briefing 40: Christian Nationalism & Why Morality Should Be (and already is) Legislated

Video
Men’s Alliance

Goose addresses the accusation of Christian nationalism and the notion that morality cannot be legislated. He explains that there is no definitive definition of Christian nationalism and that it is frequently used as a derogatory term against Christians. He urges those labeled as such to request a definition from their accusers and wonders if they have truly experienced a spiritual rebirth if they cannot support laws based on their Christian morals. He asserts that morality should be legislated, as every law distinguishes between right and wrong actions. Goose challenges viewers to clarify the meaning of "you cannot legislate morality" and to reflect on the ethical implications of each law. Furthermore, he clarifies that Christian nationalism does not signify the establishment of a theocracy, but rather strives to make America as Christian as possible through voting, praying, and advocating for Christian values.
