Ep. 200: Finding God's Purpose During Chaos and Dysfunction ft. Isaiah ‘Tank’ Baker

Isaiah "Tank" Baker shares his journey from an incredibly challenging upbringing to joining the Army and finding Jesus. Raised in a financially struggling family, he moved between schools, lacked guidance, and dealt with his father’s absence due to prison. During his troubled teen years, he experimented with drugs and alcohol. In college, on a wrestling scholarship, he faced academic probation and lost his scholarship after his step father’s overdose. Tank coped with grief through heavy drinking and chaotic living, but after years of trying to find purpose after his stepdad's passing, he joined the Army to escape his destructive path. He became a medic, served in Afghanistan, and eventually found faith with his wife in Texas, marking a turning point in their spiritual journey.

Ep 14: Equip Your Kids

Video
Men’s Alliance

Our kids are a lot smarter than most churches think.  And we should teach them the deep answers to tough questions.  Set them up to know what they believe and why.  Demand more from your youth group than just games and pizza.  If you want your kid to have a foundation that cannot be shaken by their atheists college professors than give them the apologetics they crave now.  Trust me, they can handle it.  Recommended Books: I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be An Atheist - Frank Turek Cold Case Christianity - J.

Episode 211: Atheists and Christians - Respectful Dialogue & Debunking Stereotypes

Video
Men’s Alliance

In this thought-provoking episode of the Men’s Alliance podcast, author Martin Johnson (The Atheist Survival Guide: 35 Ways to Combat Religious Intolerance) joins the conversation to tackle big questions about faith, atheism, societal polarization, and masculinity. Martin shares his insights on the politicization of religion, misconceptions about atheists, and how belief systems shape our world. The dialogue gets real as they debate the existence of God, explore who Jesus truly was, and unpack the challenges of breaking stereotypes—especially around men’s groups like Men’s Alliance. With a focus on respectful dialogue and bridging divides, this episode dives deep into finding common ground in a world full of differences.
