Did you grow up in a weird, cringy church like I did? Maybe you think that if you don't hand out gospel tracts on the street corner or enjoy singing old hymns then you're not a "good Christian." I'm hear to tell you that being a Christian has nothing to do with any of that, and that you can be as badass as you want to be and still be a follower of Christ!

Listen to full episodeWe're called to be Ambassador's for Christ (2 Cor 5:20) but how can we do that well if we don't know how to respond to the most common objections that the world has? In Round #1 of Ambassador Training, we'll look at each of the following objections to Christianity: Relativism - "There is no such thing as absolute truth. You have yours and I have mine." Pluralism - "All paths lead to God, there is more than one correct way." Scientism - "Only science yields truth; religion is merely a matter of opinion."

Listen to full episodeThis mission brief continues the conversation from last week’s episode: No Head Higher.The point is simple: don’t put any human on a pedestal — not your lead pastor, not your counselor, not your tribe leader, not me. Your authority is God, and Scripture is the standard.But what about “church authority”? That’s where the conversation gets deeper. In the New Testament, leadership is consistently described as plural — elders, leaders, overseers — not a single man running everything. We unpack key passages like: • Hebrews 13:17 (leaders — plural) • 1 Timothy 5:17 (elders — plural) • 1 Peter 5:5 (elders — plural) • 1 Timothy 2:5 (one mediator — Jesus Christ)If your church is built on the biblical blueprint, you should see elder leadership, accountability, and authority rooted in Scripture — not personality, celebrity, or “one guy’s voice.”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
