Ep 51: Weirdo Christians

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!

Mission Briefing 47: Cowboys and Indians - Crazy Horse, Custer, and the Power of a Tribe

Video
Men’s Alliance

Goose shares the story of Crazy Horse and General Custer, and teaches us a powerful lesson about the significance of community and collaboration. Strength lies in unity: History shows that teams, or "tribes", achieve greatness through collective efforts rather than isolated endeavors. This principle transcends military contexts; it applies to our personal lives as well. Embracing the support of a strong community or a band of brothers can propel individuals toward success against the odds that life throws at us. Establishing meaningful and consistent connections within a God-fearing tribe is essential for overcoming life's battles. Let's recognize that isolation is terminal and seek connection for a stronger future with our brotherhood of Christian men.

Ep 87: The Bad News First

Video
Men’s Alliance

The good news of Jesus doesn't make any sense unless we first understand the depths of the bad news. We're all sinners who deserve separation from God for all eternity. That's some bad news right there. Sadly, many churches in America are afraid of giving the bad news. They want to be popular and preach feel-good messages that won't offend anyone.  But a church that tries to please everyone ends up pleasing no one. Find a healthy church where the pastor isn't afraid to talk about sin and hell and why it is that we need the good news of Christ. --- 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.

Mission Briefing 22: Never Retire!

Video
Men’s Alliance

Don’t Plan to retire, plan for your next mission and make it impactful! God gave you specific time and talents to work towards the kingdom. Poem by Marianne Williamson: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
