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.

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.

This episode goes into a real life devotion from Ryan "Quack" Baker. God gives us the tools we need, but we need to be aware of situations and use those tools for his glory. We need to be proactive not reactive and realize the spirit moves in any situation we find ourselves in. This is what MA is about Sharpening men to become the husbands, fathers, and leaders God designed us to be and respond accordingly to situations we experience. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

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.

This week Steve "Big Panda" Radabaugh gets on the show talking about the great commission and how Men's Alliance creates that environment around the fire. The truth is we do not have to go far from home to make disciples, we should start with leading our family and children to become disciples. We need to educate and train our children or as C.S. Lewis said "We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise." Panda drops knowledge about men who throughout time have stood up and pushed back on paganism and instead spread the good news.
