Men—too many of us step into conversations about God with empty mags. Then we retreat.Today we fix that.Pastor Ethan Jago (Air Force SERE background, host of Battlefield Theologian) joins Men’s Alliance to train practical apologetics you can run tonight at the kitchen table. No ivory-tower debates—bullets you can load: the deity of Christ, the reliability of the New Testament, how to flip questions back, and Ethan’s E-A-T framework (Engage, Ask, Transition) to get to the Gospel fast.Topics: • Why most men outsource spiritual leadership—and how to take it back • “One ranger, one riot”: courage under cultural fire • Turning social-media hot takes into teachable moments • Hermeneutics made simple: read in context, chase author intent • Evidence vs. ownership: the Bible as your standard, not your feelingsStop sitting on your knees waiting your turn. Stand up. Load your mag. Lead your family.Subscribe for more men’s leadership, discipline, and faith training.Resources mentioned: R.C.
