Ep. 205: Why Does the Church Serve Junk? How We Should Serve God with Good Health and Food Habits

Video
Men’s Alliance

One of the first instructions in Genesis God gave us as humans was what we should eat — so WHY are our churches one of the worst places you can be for a healthy and nutrition-filled meal? There is a pandemic of sugar addiction and obesity in our culture and in our churches, and our guest Matthew Gay, author of “Fit Church: Destroying the Division between Following Christ and Living a Healthy Life”, is here to spread his ministry of helping Christians get closer to God by separating themselves from an unhealthy lifestyle.

Ep 37: Saying No w/ Jeff Van Atta

Video
Men’s Alliance

Do you feel overwhelmed, but continue to say yes to everything and everyone? As we get back to life as "Normal" there are going to be alot more opportunities to say Yes to the wrong things. How and when do we say No?  And when do we say Yes? We have to have a mission, goals, or creed we follow to know when to say No and when to say Yes. No is a decision but yes is a responsibility --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

God isn't interested in domesticating you or making you more civilized and well-mannered.  If you're a savage then God just wants you to be a savage for him.  Check out our Barbarian shirt here…https://www.bonfire.com/ma-barbarian-shirt-dark/?utm_source=mailgun&utm_medium=Initial%20template&utm_campaign=order_made_for_owner Men's Alliance is a place for men who love God but are a little rough around the edges. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

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.
