We live in a world where people believe that masculinity is toxic. So, what are we to do? Be less masculine? Sit silently on the sidelines lest someone accuse us of being toxic. Or...should our lives demonstrate that real masculinity is both physically strong and emotionally caring? Jesus taught us to be both strong and loving, to face our fears, and to lay down our lives for others. That is real masculinity. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Mission Briefing 57: Terrified of Silence? The Truth About What You’re Running From
Video
Men’s Alliance
In a world drowning in noise, some people are terrified of silence—not because it’s empty, but because it forces them to confront their own thoughts. In this powerful reflection, Goose dives into the story of a man who couldn’t bear stillness, a man who filled every moment with sound to escape the weight of his past. But what if silence isn’t the enemy? What if it’s the key to healing? Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” Yet, too many of us drown out discomfort with constant busyness. What are we afraid of? What would happen if we sat alone with our thoughts and let God’s presence fill the void? This is an invitation: turn down the noise, be still, and face what’s inside. Because true peace isn’t found in distraction—it’s found in surrender.

Europe Is Losing Its Faith… Meet the Man Fighting Back in Hungary ft. "Pro"
Video
Men’s Alliance
What happens when a simple idea—men working out around a fire and following Christ—jumps across the ocean into post-Soviet Europe?In this episode, we sit down with Pro from Braveheart Tribe in Budapest, Hungary to talk about how Men’s Alliance has taken root in Europe and why Hungary might become a hub for Christian men’s ministry.Pro shares his story of growing up in the Netherlands, moving to Central Europe after the Iron Curtain fell, meeting his wife in Hungary, and slowly moving from career-first to ministry-first. We dig into: • The difference between Western Europe and Central Europe when it comes to faith • Why Hungary is still largely Christian while other European nations are turning secular • The rise of Islam in Europe and why we must train ambassadors for Christ • How Braveheart Tribe launched in Budapest and what MA looks like in an urban European context • Why hard workouts, cold weather, and real discomfort are essential for discipling men • How Carry the Fire apologetics training is preparing men to share and defend their faithYou’ll hear how God used a doctor who had been in a Men’s Alliance tribe in Alaska… moved him to Budapest… and then used that connection to help launch multiple tribes in Hungary—including Braveheart and a neighboring tribe led by “Blade Runner.”If you’ve ever wondered what God is doing among men outside the U.S., or how to reach a culture that’s forgotten its Christian roots, this conversation will fire you up and give you a bigger vision for Men’s Alliance.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
