Video
Men’s Alliance

Men in children’s ministry… is that weird??Most churches act like kids’ and youth ministry is “for the ladies.” But what happens when godly men step into kids’ and student ministry on purpose?In this episode, Goose sits down with Warrior, Coach, and Joe McAndrew from LCBC to talk about: • Why it feels weird for men to serve with kids • How the feminization of the church left a gap that men must fill • The power of a present, steady man in a middle school or high school small group • Why you don’t have to teach — you just have to show up and listen • How your past struggles are exactly what some kid needs to hear • What kids today are actually facing: social media, anxiety, school shootings, isolation • How serving with your wife models a godly marriage for both boys and girls • Why deployment after PATCH should include your church’s kids & studentsIf you’ve ever thought:“I’m not a teacher.”“My past is too messy.”“I don’t know what kids are into these days.”…this episode will blow up those excuses.Kids don’t need you to be cool.They don’t need you to know what “skibidi toilet” means.They need you to care, to listen, and to be a solid man of God in the room.👉 If you’re a tribesman wondering where to deploy after PATCH or after your weekly fire, your church’s children’s and student ministry might be your next battlefield.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

Ep 175: How Great Men Grieve

Video
Men’s Alliance

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. How to connect with Johanna:johannastamps.com804 944 [email protected] Men’s Alliance | How Great Men Grieve “If you loved it, and lost it, then grieve it” Grief is like an epic hike through a desolate land. 7 Steps of the Journey: 1. 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.

Mission Briefing 31: Reject Easy

Video
Men’s Alliance

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” ― Theodore Roosevelt Avoid the lure of making things easier, break out of routine. Raise the bar each week with workouts and devotions, to achieve becoming the husbands, fathers, and leaders God designed us to be. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

The Freedom of Not Conforming

Video
Men’s Alliance

I forgot my coin on a ruck with MA guys—and that meant burpees in the street of a small town diner… in the rain… with people watching.A year ago, my pride would’ve stopped me. I would’ve made excuses. I would’ve lied. I would’ve protected my image.Instead, I went outside and did the burpees.This moment showed me something deeper:Men’s Alliance + following Jesus is training me to stop caring what the world thinks.My identity isn’t in how I look.It’s not in approval.It’s not in reputation.My identity is in Christ—and that changes how I handle embarrassment, pride, and accountability.This is a story about brotherhood, integrity, freedom from people’s opinions, and learning to live fully in who Jesus says you are.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
