Goose breaks down why the term “facilitator” is eroding true leadership and how we, as men, must reclaim our God-given roles. Jesus wasn’t a facilitator—He was a leader. He didn’t ensure every voice was heard; He provided direction, guidance, and structure. And that’s exactly what’s needed today in our homes, workplaces, and communities. Being a man isn’t about feel-good facilitation—it’s about building leaders who step up, take responsibility, and set the example for others to follow. Don’t be a guy who facilitates; be a man who leads.

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."
