Ep 98: Marathon Mentality

Video
Men’s Alliance

In a marathon, when you can't run any more, you walk for a while, but you don't throw in the towel and quit. This same lesson can be applied to everything we do in life. There's nothing wrong with taking a rest in order to recharge and then getting back into the game.  Don't be a man who gives up entirely when all that was needed was a season of rest. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ep 28: Raise the Bar

Video
Men’s Alliance

Ever feel like the Men's Alliance workout is too hard? Like the bar is set too high? In this podcast you'll hear how that is a metaphor for our spiritual lives, too. The standard set for us is Jesus Christ and we all fall short of the mark. At Men's Alliance we give ourselves grace when we fall short of the standard, but we will never lower the bar. Not physically and not spiritually either. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ep 144: Mental Health Part 2 w/Mike Flynn

Video
Men’s Alliance

Mike Flynn is back on the podcast (Ep 119 Relationship Advice) Listen in as Mike talks about the need to be on a team and the importance of talking about mental health. Close friends get to know the real you over time and can identify when you are not being your true self. While Jesus had a tribe, he still took time alone for himself. This may require identifying when we are busy and saying no to things in order to free up our time.

Ep 93: Fear Uncertainty and Doubt w/ Berek Dostie

Video
Men’s Alliance

Fear,  Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) – We all struggle with fear.  Whether that’s fear of failure, fear of losing something we hold dear, fear of not starting something, or fear of the unknown. Most fear resides in our head when we doubt ourselves. That allows Satan to open the door wider and whisper more lies to us causing more FUD. FUD will come and go. It’s a combination of being stuck in our heads and  lies from the enemy. Bring God into your struggles with FUD. Further  your relationship by opening the door to the Lord, wait for the Holy Spirit to move with you, and then watch Satan's door close. · What fears are you now struggling with? · What fears do you need help letting go that prayer, family and friends, Men's Alliance or Church staff can help with? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
