How to Tell if Your Religion Was Made Up by a Man...

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...

This Ministry Uses Hunting to Reach Men

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...

Rain, Gravel, Puke, and Burpees - The Real Moments That Turn Strangers Into Brothers

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...

Islam Has a Problem That Can’t Be Answered…

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...

The Breadwinning Wife

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...

Why Culture Needs Boldness from the Pulpit | Pastor Sean Sawyer

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.

Your Problem Ain't With Jesus...

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...

How to Skip Men's Alliance

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...

The Freedom of Not Conforming

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. ...
