Goose challenges men to look at one of the clearest differences between Christianity and man-made religion: the way they treat sex, women, marriage, and self-denial. From ancient idol worship to modern sexual identity movements, Goose argues that when men reject the one true God, they almost always replace Him with sexual pleasure, power, and self-worship. But Jesus calls men to something completely different: deny yourself, flee sexual immorality, love your wife sacrificially, and follow the wa...
What happens when hunting becomes more than a hobby? In this episode, Goose sits down with Patrick Tyndall, founder of Ironman Outdoors, a Christian hunting ministry using deer stands, fishing boats, hog hunts, and campfire conversations to reach men for Christ. Patrick shares wild hunting stories, including the legendary 200-inch buck known as Brutus, but the real heart of this conversation is about men taking their “camo” off — dropping the act, getting honest, and letting other men sharpen th...
Men’s Alliance is hard to explain until you’ve been there. It’s cold rain, gravel workouts, ridiculous call signs, guys puking during workouts, and fires that somehow stay lit in a downpour. But underneath all the funny stories is something deeper: men learning how to be real, how to lead, how to pray, how to confess, how to celebrate wins, and how to carry each other through life. In this episode, the guys swap some of their favorite tribe stories—from brutal workouts and hilarious call signs t...
Goose breaks down one of the biggest differences between Christianity and Islam: what really happened to Jesus. The Quran says Jesus was not crucified. The New Testament says He was crucified, buried, and rose again — backed by early creeds, eyewitnesses, and multiple sources written within the lifetime of the people who knew Him. So the question is simple: if you were judging this historically, which source would you trust? A claim from 600 years later, or the testimony of the men who walked wi...
A tribesman's wife sent us a message that hit hard: “My husband left a stable job to chase his dream… and now I don’t feel safe enough to become a mother.” That confession launches a brutally honest conversation about biblical masculinity, provision, leadership, spiritual maturity, and the growing tension many Christian couples quietly live with. Goose breaks down why so many men today avoid responsibility, why women crave security more deeply than most men realize, and what Scripture actually s...
Michael Morisi went from launching an airline, working in ministry, and serving his community... to being charged by the federal government for a "scheme to commit fraud" in a case where he says no fraud ever occurred. In this episode, Mike shares the story behind his book 'It Was Never About Justice", how he was pressured into a plea deal, what happened inside federal prison, and how God used one of the darkest seasons of his life to spark Bible studies, conversions, and a deeper calling.This c...
In this candid conversation, Pastor Sean Sawyer advocates for churches to boldly preach biblical truths, focusing on equipping believers rather than catering to non-Christians. He addresses the pervasive issue of male passivity, urging men to resist cultural conformity and engage in public life with conviction. The discussion highlights the importance of male brotherhood for accountability, and the need for men to live out an embodied, Christ-centered faith, fostering spiritual growth and leadership.

If you’ve been turned off from Christianity because of church hurt, hypocrisy, abusive leaders, legalistic rules, or bad experiences with Christians—this message is for you. Goose breaks down why Christianity should not be judged by the people who misrepresent it, but by Jesus Himself. Bad followers don’t make Jesus bad, just like a terrible piano player doesn’t make Mozart a terrible composer. The real question is not, “Have Christians failed?” The real question is, “Who is Jesus?” Follow Jesus...
What happens when ordinary men stop just attending church and actually get equipped? In this episode, two tribesmen share what the training really did in their lives, their families, and their faith. This conversation gets real: • struggling to lead at home • realizing church attendance isn’t the same as being equipped • learning how to answer hard questions with truth • discovering that your first mission field is your family • becoming the husband, father, and leader God designed you to be Car...
You don’t feel like going. You’re tired. You want to stay home. You start making excuses. There’s a right way to miss tribe — and there’s a weak way. If you need a break, schedule it. Plan it. Be intentional. But if it’s the last minute and you just don’t feel like going, that’s when discipline matters most. Don’t react emotionally. Plan your response. Even anger, when necessary, should be controlled, intentional, and disciplined. Follow Men's Alliance Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensa...

What if one of the most common ideas in church culture is completely wrong? In this episode, we unpack a powerful biblical truth: God does not dwell in buildings made by human hands.

This message walks through: • 1 Corinthians 6 and what it means that your body is God’s temple • Why God did not want David to build Him a house • The meaning of the tabernacle and why God preferred a tent • Paul’s teaching in A...

Did Jesus really claim to be God? A lot of skeptics say no. A lot of Muslims say no. Even some people who have spent years around church still aren’t sure how to answer that question clearly. In this Mission Brief, we go beyond the words of Jesus and look at His actions. Because Jesus didn’t just say who He was. He acted like God. We cover the shocking things Jesus did that only God could do: • He forgave sins • He accepted worship • He changed the standard of the Law • He raised people from the...
Can a man be too old for Men’s Alliance? Oscar “Guru” Womack answers that question loud and clear.

Why are there so many different translations of the Bible? Is that a problem… or is it actually a strength? In this episode, we break down why the Bible has multiple English translations, what it means that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek, and how reading multiple translations can actually help you understand Scripture more deeply. We also tackle a common Muslim objection about Bible translations and explain why comparing the Bible to the Quran is not reall...
Today we sit down with Ryan Pauly, founder of Think Well, to talk apologetics, evangelism, and the questions that shake faith—especially why God allows evil. Ryan shares his journey from Christian upbringing to deep theological growth, why knowledge and love go together, and how apologetics fuels real evangelism by “clearing the fog” so people can see Jesus. We also tackle: • The emotional vs intellectual problem of evil • Why evil and moral outrage actually point to objective morality • The “Go...
If you’re listening to this but you’re not in a Men’s Alliance tribe yet—this mission brief is for you. If you want to be a better husband, father, and leader… but you still feel stuck, entangled, and defeated by sin, addiction, depression, or isolation—this may be why: the model you’ve been offered is flawed. A lot of men’s ministry looks “manly” on the outside—warrior language, iron graphics, sword covers—but underneath it’s still the same thing: comfortable rooms, book studies, discussion cir...

They explain how deception works inside Satanism, why Satan does not “take care of” his followers, and how the enemy ultimately destroys those who serve him. You’ll hear firsthand how occult practices operate behi...
I forgot my coin on a ruck with MA guys—and that meant burpees in the street of a small town diner… in the rain… with people watching. A year ago, my pride would’ve stopped me. I would’ve made excuses. I would’ve lied. I would’ve protected my image. Instead, I went outside and did the burpees. This moment showed me something deeper: Men’s Alliance + following Jesus is training me to stop caring what the world thinks. My identity isn’t in how I look. It’s not in approval. It’s not in reputation. ...

“Christian nationalism” is a label that gets thrown around constantly—but what does it actually mean? In this episode, we unpack where the term came from, how it’s being used in culture right now, and why many Christians who simply believe in law, order, and moral boundaries are being branded with it. We talk about the difference between forced government compassion and voluntary Christian charity, why Christians believe morality isn’t decided by popular vote, and how our faith shapes our politi...
