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?

Ep 85: The Worst Thing You Can Do

Video
Men’s Alliance

Theodore Roosevelt said, "The worst thing you can do is nothing," and I completely agree. Whether it's working out, having a daily devotion, or leading your family spiritually, it's better to do SOMETHING than to sit on the sidelines doing nothing because you don't have time to create a five-star production. We don't have to be perfect in order to lead workouts and devotions at Men's Alliance. We just have to be willing to get off the sideline. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Biblical Christianity Is Radical to the Lukewarm Christian - Pete Bowell

Video
Men’s Alliance

Lukewarm Christianity has become so common that true biblical faith now seems radical. In this powerful conversation, Pastor Pete Bowell, Goose, and Sheepdog discuss the difference between simply believing and living a life fully fueled with extra oil — ready for the Bridegroom’s arrival. We explore passing the baton of faith, overcoming spiritual laziness, and how showing up for others is the true mark of courage and discipleship. Hear inspiring stories of men who carry the fire of faith even through life’s darkest seasons.👉 Are you carrying enough oil?👇 Comment your thoughts and join the conversation.🔔 Subscribe for more bold Christian leadership discussions.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Order the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV
