Mission Briefing 42: Saving Relationships, Not Ending Them - Not All "Counselors" Give Good Advice

Goose discusses the significance of finding a good counselor and the importance of restoring relationships rather than ending them. He shares his experiences with both giving and receiving counseling and the potential harm caused by a bad counselor who advised him to leave his marriage based on personal happiness rather than what is right. Goose emphasizes the importance of communication and conflict resolution skills in repairing relationships and warns against counselors who encourage ending relationships or labeling them as toxic. He suggests that such counselors may be motivated by popularity and their advice could contradict Christian teachings. All in all, Goose encourages individuals to seek counseling from someone who will help them see that relationship problems are temporary and provide tools to fix them.

Ep 77: Peter Was a Failure w/ Mark McGrath

Video
Men’s Alliance

Peter was brash and bold.  Jesus rebuked him several times, yet he was listed first among the disciples in the gospel.  The fact that Peter was a disciple should give us comfort knowing that we are not the only ones to fail.  Even with all Peter's failures, Jesus told him "I say to you that you are Peter (which means 'rock'), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.".  What will Jesus do with you, even with all your failures?

Ep 5: Safety vs The Mission

Video
Men’s Alliance

What do you pray for the most?  Is it safety? Security?  Traveling mercies?  What did Peter and John pray for after spending a night in prison and then being ordered to stop talking about Jesus? Many Christians today, especially in America, are putting safety as a higher priority than accomplishing their mission. Are you making an impact in the world around you?  Or are you sitting safely on the sideline?

When was the last time you felt like you were under spiritual attack?  If you're not getting hit by the opponent then it probably means that you're not even in the game.  As men of God, we need to get off the sidelines, get in the game, and make some plays that will get us hit! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
