Hippo was at his breaking point—angry, broken, and ready to make a choice he could never take back. But in that moment, God showed up. What followed was a journey of redemption that took him from a past filled with trauma, toxic influences, and pain to discovering true brotherhood and faith. A chance encounter at a Christian festival led him to Men’s Alliance, a group of men who held him accountable and pushed him toward something greater. Through deep loss and hardship, his faith was tested, but instead of breaking, he leaned in—learning what it truly means to trust God. This is a raw, real story of transformation, purpose, and unshakable faith.🔥 Topics Covered: • The moment that changed everything • Overcoming anger, addiction, and isolation • The power of brotherhood and accountability in Men’s Alliance • A life-and-death decision that led to redemption • What it truly means to be a warrior for Christ👉 Don’t just watch—share this with someone who needs encouragement today! 💬📌 Subscribe for more real, raw, and life-changing stories.Register for the National Rally in May!https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/experiences/national-rallyBuy our Protein! - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/shop/ma-downrange-mermite-field-recovery-protein#Faith #Testimony #MensAlliance #JesusSaves #Redemption #Brotherhood #MensMinistry #FaithJourney #SpiritualWarfareFollow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Order the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

Ep 127: Confusing Bible Verses

Video
Men’s Alliance

This week Chris "Knuckles" Luck rejoins the show to discuss confusing bible verses. Listen to Knuckles previous podcast episode War Stories 2: Hells Angels. Greg Koukl says "Never read a bible verse. Instead always read a paragraph at least". The Bible contains many different styles of writing such as: biography, poetry, letters, and history. We have to avoid taking verses out of context from the Bible and applying verses to our life if they were written for others. Always continue to learn more about the context of the verses, we do this by talking with other trusted Christians and reading commentaries such as the ones listed below.
