Ep. 205: Why Does the Church Serve Junk? How We Should Serve God with Good Health and Food Habits

Video
Men’s Alliance

One of the first instructions in Genesis God gave us as humans was what we should eat — so WHY are our churches one of the worst places you can be for a healthy and nutrition-filled meal? There is a pandemic of sugar addiction and obesity in our culture and in our churches, and our guest Matthew Gay, author of “Fit Church: Destroying the Division between Following Christ and Living a Healthy Life”, is here to spread his ministry of helping Christians get closer to God by separating themselves from an unhealthy lifestyle.

Mission Briefing 47: Cowboys and Indians - Crazy Horse, Custer, and the Power of a Tribe

Video
Men’s Alliance

Goose shares the story of Crazy Horse and General Custer, and teaches us a powerful lesson about the significance of community and collaboration. Strength lies in unity: History shows that teams, or "tribes", achieve greatness through collective efforts rather than isolated endeavors. This principle transcends military contexts; it applies to our personal lives as well. Embracing the support of a strong community or a band of brothers can propel individuals toward success against the odds that life throws at us. Establishing meaningful and consistent connections within a God-fearing tribe is essential for overcoming life's battles. Let's recognize that isolation is terminal and seek connection for a stronger future with our brotherhood of Christian men.

Ep 28: Raise the Bar

Video
Men’s Alliance

Ever feel like the Men's Alliance workout is too hard? Like the bar is set too high? In this podcast you'll hear how that is a metaphor for our spiritual lives, too. The standard set for us is Jesus Christ and we all fall short of the mark. At Men's Alliance we give ourselves grace when we fall short of the standard, but we will never lower the bar. Not physically and not spiritually either. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
