Ep 5: Safety vs The Mission

What do you pray for the most?  Is it safety? Security?  Traveling mercies?  What did Peter and John pray for after spending a night in prison and then being ordered to stop talking about Jesus? Many Christians today, especially in America, are putting safety as a higher priority than accomplishing their mission. Are you making an impact in the world around you?  Or are you sitting safely on the sideline?

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 39: I Am Not Pro-Life, I Am Anti-Abortion - How to Navigate this Important Topic

Video
Men’s Alliance

Pro- Life, Pro Choice, what does it all mean and what do we as Christians actually subscribe to? Goose shares a fresh perspective on this topic and maybe another way to phrase how we feel about this topic, as there is always a lot of debate and the opposition likes to try to argue obtuse points to "prove" that we as Christians are in fact, not Pro-Life. The big takeaway here is that Pro-Life and Anti-Abortion are different things. Convicted murderers deserve the death penalty - that is not inherently Pro-Life, and that's why where we stand is Anti-Abortion. These arguments will come up as you are defending the Faith and these are conversations that we need to be prepared for.
