Ep 57: The Worst Sales Pitch Ever

Men’s Alliance

If you made up your own religion and wanted to get millions of followers what would you say? Would you promise money? Health? Women? Pleasure? Would you say that your followers could do anything they want without any judgement? If you wanted lots of followers you would do everything the opposite of Christianity. And that is evidence that Christianity was NOT invented by men.

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
