Can a man be too old for Men’s Alliance?Oscar “Guru” Womack answers that question loud and clear.Guru shares his story of growing up in Washington, DC, serving more than 22 years in the Air Force, building a 53-year marriage, and going through Carry The Fire at 78 years old.Guru is from Sooner Tribe in Oklahoma, and became part of Men’s Alliance after attending Men’s Ignite in Dallas. What started as curiosity turned into full commitment — and eventually led him through one of the most challenging and life-changing experiences in Men’s Alliance.In this episode, we talk about: • how Guru first heard about Men’s Alliance • why he almost didn’t do Carry The Fire • what it was like going through FTX at 78 • lessons from 22 years in the Air Force • practical marriage wisdom from 53 years of marriage • why older men are still desperately needed in the fight • how men can keep growing spiritually no matter their age • why Carry The Fire is for every man willing to be sharpenedIf you’ve ever thought: • “I’m too old for that” • “That’s for younger guys” • “I missed my window” • “I can’t do Men’s Alliance”This episode is for you.Guru’s story is proof that God is not done with a man just because he’s older. If you’re still breathing, you still have purpose. If you’re still here, God can still sharpen you, use you, and send you.This is one of the most encouraging Men’s Alliance testimonies you’ll hear.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

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.

What does friendship mean to you? Where have you found friends in the past? As we get older should we continue to try and relive old friendship experiences or go in new directions as we grow in our faith journey? What is a Biblical friendship, and how can we cultivate Biblical friendships that are more connected and fulfilling then regular friendships?  It is important to surround ourselves with the right group of friends that help build us up and not pull us back.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
