We all make mistakes; we all crash into the rocks at some point in our life. The question is are you going to let that failure sink you to the bottom permanently, or will you illuminate the dangers to help keep others from making the same mistake? As Christian men, we can't allow our past failures to keep us on the sideline. Our families still need us to lead them spiritually. So get back up, dust yourself off, and get back in the game!

As we get back to life as "Normal" there are going to be alot more opportunities to say Yes to the wrong things. How and when do we say No? And when do we say Yes? We have to have a mission, goals, or creed we follow to know when to say No and when to say Yes. No is a decision but yes is a responsibility --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Listen to full episodeDon’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
