Mission Briefing 40: Christian Nationalism & Why Morality Should Be (and already is) Legislated

Goose addresses the accusation of Christian nationalism and the notion that morality cannot be legislated. He explains that there is no definitive definition of Christian nationalism and that it is frequently used as a derogatory term against Christians. He urges those labeled as such to request a definition from their accusers and wonders if they have truly experienced a spiritual rebirth if they cannot support laws based on their Christian morals. He asserts that morality should be legislated, as every law distinguishes between right and wrong actions. Goose challenges viewers to clarify the meaning of "you cannot legislate morality" and to reflect on the ethical implications of each law. Furthermore, he clarifies that Christian nationalism does not signify the establishment of a theocracy, but rather strives to make America as Christian as possible through voting, praying, and advocating for Christian values.

How to Reach Men in Your Church (Pastors Need to Hear This)

Video
Men’s Alliance

Goose sits down with Jason “Eagle” Dickinson, a pastor from Albuquerque, New Mexico, whose world was flipped upside down in one moment of Holy Spirit conviction. After witnessing broken families and men drifting spiritually, Eagle cried out to God for a strategy—something REAL that would ignite the hearts of men in his church.Six months later, in a packed conference lobby in Dallas, he saw a booth he’d never heard of: Men’s Alliance. A pull-up bar. A creed on the wall. A few guys with call signs like Goose and Thor slinging coffee and brotherhood. And in that moment, Eagle sensed God whisper: “This is what you’ve been looking for.”He walked straight out of the conference, found Goose in the lobby, and said the words that changed New Mexico:“I’m going home to start a tribe next Saturday.”What happened next is nothing short of supernatural.In this conversation, Goose and Eagle dive into why Men’s Alliance works where other men’s ministries fail—how physical struggle, outdoor fire, authenticity, call signs, and weekly leadership opportunities awaken something inside a man that sitting in a church pew never will.They talk about men breaking free from addictions, pastors finally having a place to “just be a dude,” tribes multiplying, churches becoming healthier, families changing, and why men were designed by God to do hard things—in workouts, in marriage, and in fatherhood.If you’ve ever wondered:How do you actually reach the men in your church? How do you disciple men who don’t open up? How do you build a culture where men step up instead of shrink back?—you are about to hear the answer.This is the New Mexico story.It’s raw. It’s powerful.And it might be the spark your church—or your state—needs next.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

Ep 175: How Great Men Grieve

Video
Men’s Alliance

Johanna Stamps, a licensed grief counselor, talks about how we have to acknowledge grief and mourn in order to continue to move towards God’s vision for our life.  Many items can be lost such as a job, pets, friendships, and marriages.  As men, we need to take time and space to let our brain catch up to the event that has happened. Johanna shares her 7 steps included below and talks about the power of writing a closure letter on the grief you are going through. How to connect with Johanna:johannastamps.com804 944 [email protected] Men’s Alliance | How Great Men Grieve “If you loved it, and lost it, then grieve it” Grief is like an epic hike through a desolate land. 7 Steps of the Journey: 1. TRAILHEAD: AT THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY a. Set the intention to heal, to integrate b. Look for a sign you are grieving: Cognitive, Affective, Physical, Spiritual c. You ONLY work where grief is coming up, that’s the beginning d. Feel the pain (No pain, No gain)... It brings healing 2. LOOK AT THE MAP (Pssst... it’s a magical map) a. The magical map only appears as you walk forward in your grief b. It’s completely unique to you (circumstance, personality, etc.) c. Dispel misconceptions (don’t look for stages) 3. BEGIN WALKING a. Small doses as it comes up b. One thing at a time c. We cannot grieve all at one time. We wouldn’t be able to take it! d. Be creative... example: recognizing important dates (or your body will tell you) 4. GATHER WITH OTHERS - DON’T GRIEVE IN ISOLATION a. Grieving is internal - Mourning is your external or public experience of grief b. ESSENTIAL - speak about the experience of the loss, memories, etc. c. Moves from the head to the heart (READ THIS AGAIN!!!) d. Look for the 1⁄3 who are good with grief (most likely someone who has dealt with their own grief) 5. STOP FOR REST a. Sustenance for your epic journey b. Maybe learn to rest for the first time 6. EXERCISE JOY AND PAIN MUSCLE a. Like any normal ruck or hike there is joy with the pain b. Practice this often when you are grieving 7. GET TO THE LOOKOUT a. Reflect on how far you have come (when you look at the loss with less pain) b. See parts of yourself that are becoming whole again - integrating the loss c. This is OFTEN understanding who you are (e.g. identity) Sponsor: Tom 'Doc' Love CFP®, CRPC®, CRPS® [email protected] Craig Heah.

Ep 48: Don't Fear Death

Video
Men’s Alliance

In 1948 C.S. Lewis warned against being afraid of an atomic bomb, because we were all certain to die anyways, and there is always a disease, accident, or war in every period of history.  Today, these words are just as true.  We can't allow our fears to keep us on the sideline.  When death finds us, let it find us living boldly as barbarian ambassadors for Christ!
