When a man depends on his wife to do his cooking and cleaning, he unwittingly creates a dependent, mother-child dynamic that kills sexual intimacy. So do your own laundry and stop playing the role of child. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ambassador Training 4: DNA as Evidence for God

Video
Men’s Alliance

Bill Gates said, “DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.” In each cell in your body there is a word that is 6.4 billion letters long. It's called your DNA, and it's more advanced than any computer software ever created.  So, who wrote that DNA software that makes you uniquely you? If you believe that even a simple cave painting had a designer, then you must admit that the most advanced software ever created must certainly have a designer too. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Mission Briefing 57: Terrified of Silence? The Truth About What You’re Running From

Video
Men’s Alliance

In a world drowning in noise, some people are terrified of silence—not because it’s empty, but because it forces them to confront their own thoughts. In this powerful reflection, Goose dives into the story of a man who couldn’t bear stillness, a man who filled every moment with sound to escape the weight of his past. But what if silence isn’t the enemy? What if it’s the key to healing? Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” Yet, too many of us drown out discomfort with constant busyness. What are we afraid of? What would happen if we sat alone with our thoughts and let God’s presence fill the void? This is an invitation: turn down the noise, be still, and face what’s inside. Because true peace isn’t found in distraction—it’s found in surrender.
