Ep 53: Do Hard Things w/ Jeff VanAtta

Men’s Alliance

We are not tasked with living an easy life, but are commanded by Jesus to do things that are hard. Listen to some of his commands and think about those in the Bible who have experienced hard times.  The world has gotten to comfortable where even driving to work is now considered a hardship.  Learn about the concept of Misogi and how it can help you create challenges that will truly test you, instead of easy goals that we can achieve.  Link to the Hard Times Create Strong Men Image https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1898444-hard-times-create-strong-men --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Mission Briefing 45: 2 Things You Need, 1 Thing You Don't

Video
Men’s Alliance

You signed up for a cool manly weekend doing burpees and getting yelled at by an ex-Seal? Cool! Love that for you. Will that help you be a spiritual leader and godly example for your family? Not necessarily. There is a short list of things that men need to understand their purpose in this world while getting the support they need from a tribe of God-fearing brothers so they can lead their families in the right direction, and in this Mission Briefing, Goose shares exactly what those things are. Here are the main points: - Every Christian man needs a tribe for support. - Training is essential, not just reading. - Virtual communities are not sufficient. - Practical training is crucial for spiritual leadership. - Weekend experiences do not equate to real growth. - You need to practice to share your faith effectively. - Isolation can lead to crises without support. - Building a tribe should happen before storms hit. - Men's Alliance focuses on real-life applications of faith.
