Ep 42: Put Your Pants On

Video
Men’s Alliance

Are you still watching church from your living room each Sunday? If you haven't taken your family back to church in person yet, then it's way overdue for you to put your spiritual leader pants on and lead your family back to church. Because it's not a matter of whether you can worship God from your living room, it's a matter of whether you can encourage other Christians from there? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” ― Theodore Roosevelt Avoid the lure of making things easier, break out of routine. Raise the bar each week with workouts and devotions, to achieve becoming the husbands, fathers, and leaders God designed us to be. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Video
Men’s Alliance

Entrepreneur and stay-at-home mom Megan Schlensker shares her inspiration for starting her business, Three Pillars Wear. The turning point came during the 2020 lockdown when she became concerned about the deconstruction of fundamental concepts like faith, family, and freedom. Megan believes these pillars are essential for individuals and society to thrive and have become the cornerstone of her business. She also discusses the importance of preserving Christian values in America and the erosion of these values in modern society. Megan offers advice to Christian wives, encouraging them to live their faith conspicuously, be there for their children, and trust in God's guidance. She also emphasizes the importance of prayer, reading scriptures, and women being united with their husbands. Megan also shares her experiences dealing with opposing views in the public school system and the importance of teaching children to be a light in the world. She emphasizes the significance of the balance between a husband and a wife, a mother and a father, and the importance of allowing children to make mistakes and learn independence. Megan also discusses the challenges men face in understanding and navigating relationships and the importance of preserving Christian values in America.

Mission Briefing 22: Never Retire!

Video
Men’s Alliance

Don’t Plan to retire, plan for your next mission and make it impactful! God gave you specific time and talents to work towards the kingdom. Poem by Marianne Williamson: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
