With ICE deportations back in the news, many Christians feel torn between compassion and obedience to the law. Are we supposed to resist law enforcement? Is interfering with arrests loving our neighbor? In this episode, we walk through Romans 13 and biblical examples of civil disobedience to clarify when Christians are called to obey authorities—and when they are called to resist unjust laws. This is a grounded, biblical response to the emotional chaos surrounding immigration, deportations, and ...

Men’s Alliance families — we’re rolling to Washington, DC.

In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why the arts are a massive discipleship battleground • How to help your kids pursue creativity without losing the mission • Why this Joseph production is gritty, intense, and NOT a “cute Bible play” • How...

Are you a good person? That sounds like an easy “yes”… until you take Jesus seriously. In Mark 10:18, Jesus responds: “No one is good except God alone.” That one line exposes something massive: our worldview, our theology, and what we believe about human nature. Are people basically good… or basically fallen? In this episode, we unpack: • What Jesus meant (and didn’t mean) in Mark 10 • Why this verse doesn’t “disprove” Jesus — it challenges the listener • How Romans 3 (and even Psalm 14) doubles...

This mission brief continues the conversation from last week’s episode: No Head Higher. The point is simple: don’t put any human on a pedestal — not your lead pastor, not your counselor, not your tribe leader, not me. Your authority is God, and Scripture is the standard. But what about “church authority”? That’s where the conversation gets deeper. In the New Testament, leadership is consistently described as plural — elders, leaders, overseers — not a single man running everything. We unpack key...

Tyson breaks down what’s happening across K–12 schools, college campuses, and even workplaces — where speech, faith, and basic reality are being pressured, chilled, or outright censored. We talk about how these conflicts actually start (often not “top-down”), why the loud minority can steer policy, and how dads can lead with wisdom, courage, and truth. You’ll also hear practical ways to engage without rage, how to train yourself to speak with clarity (1 Peter 3:15), and why showing up matters: “...

In this Mission Brief, we walk through how Scripture actually lays out authority, why pastors are not meant to sit above other believers, and why placing any human on a pedestal is spiritually dangerous. This isn’t about disrespecting leaders — it’s about putting authority in the right place. Men will disappoint you. Pastors will fail. Influencers will fall. That shouldn’t shake your faith — unless your faith was misplaced. This episode connects biblical hierarchy, leadership, mental health, and...

Most people think prepping is about water, food, medical gear, or a bug-out plan. But if you prep alone, you’re setting yourself up to lose everything the moment you need to sleep, get sick, or get injured. The #1 prep is brotherhood—a tribe. Ecclesiastes says a cord of three strands is not easily broken. In a crisis, that’s not just spiritual… it’s practical. Men’s Alliance doesn’t just build strong men. It builds tribes—and that’s the best prep you can have. Follow Men's Alliance Instagram - h...

Alex McFarland reveals powerful stories of revival breaking out among teens, a former Muslim dramatically renouncing Islam for Christ over the phone, and why America must wake up to the growing threat of radical Islam while standing boldly for biblical truth on Israel, manhood, and the Gospel. We dive deep into the cost of following Jesus (no prosperity gospel here), the danger of watered-down evangelism, replacement theology myths, and how God is sparking a massive youth awakening – with lots o...

Why do we celebrate Christmas every year—especially if you’re not even sure what it’s about? Most famous people are remembered for what they did. Jesus is different. He’s remembered for who He was: God in human form—the Creator stepping into His creation to rescue us. The birth of Jesus wasn’t random tradition. It was the beginning of a rescue mission that leads to the cross… and the resurrection. In this Mission Brief, we unpack why Christmas exists, why the resurrection changed everything, and...

2025 was a defining year for Men’s Alliance — new states, new countries, national events, rallies, FTXs, hundreds of new tribes, and thousands of men stepping into leadership. But the real story isn’t the numbers. It’s the lives changed around campfires, at kitchen tables, on rucks, and in quiet conversations no one ever planned. In this episode, Goose and Shadow talk honestly about what God did for this ministry when we simply just said yes. The wins, the doubts, the moments that couldn’t have ...

A lot of churches look healthy on the outside: great coffee, great music, great signage, and a message that feels uplifting. But what if the very thing that makes a church “easy to attend” is the same thing keeping Christian men from growing? In this episode, we expose the seeker sensitive church model—how it became popular, what it does well, and why it becomes spiritually dangerous for mature believers. If a Sunday message is built so that an atheist, a Buddhist, and a Christian can all nod al...

We all make mistakes—sometimes big ones—and too often we fail to learn from them. But every now and then, God teaches us a lesson with far more gentleness than we deserve. In this story, Sheepdog shares a moment with his 10-year-old son that could have ended in a hospital visit or a totaled car. Instead, it became a powerful reminder of how God disciplines us with grace, protects us even when we mess up, and uses near-miss moments to grow us. Whether it’s a near accident, a close call, or a mist...

Most Christians have heard arguments about denominations… But almost no one stops long enough to ask: Are these essentials — or are we pushing people off a bridge over non-essentials? In this mission brief, we talk about the tragic tendency inside Christianity to divide over topics the Bible never calls essential. Whether it’s baptism methods, alcohol, Bible translations, end-times theories, speaking in tongues, or worship styles — too many believers treat these as salvation-level issues. We dig...

After witnessing broken families and men drifting spiritually, Eagle cried out to God for a strategy—something REAL that would ignite the hearts of men in his church.Six months later, in a packed conference lobby in Dallas, he saw a booth he’d never heard of: Men’s Alliance.

“Science disproves God.” You’ve heard it. Your kids hear it at school. Atheists repeat it like it’s settled fact. But here’s the truth: science only exists because early scientists believed in an intelligent Creator. Newton, Galileo, Kepler, Bacon — the fathers of modern science — all believed the universe was rational, ordered, and discoverable because a rational God created it. In this episode, we break down: ✅ Why science actually depends on a Creator ✅ Why the Big Bang points to God, not awa...

Men in children’s ministry… is that weird?? Most churches act like kids’ and youth ministry is “for the ladies.” But what happens when godly men step into kids’ and student ministry on purpose? In this episode, Goose sits down with Warrior, Coach, and Joe McAndrew from LCBC to talk about: • Why it feels weird for men to serve with kids • How the feminization of the church left a gap that men must fill • The power of a present, steady man in a middle school or high school small group • Why you do...

Most Christians misunderstand apologetics. They think it’s arguing, intellectual snobbery, or something only “elite Christians” do. But Voddie Baucham said it best: “If you think apologetics doesn’t work, you don’t know apologetics — and you don’t know me.” This episode breaks down what apologetics actually is: 👉 explaining WHAT you believe 👉 explaining WHY you believe it 👉 giving EVIDENCE for the hope you have 👉 being a good ambassador for Christ 👉 sharing the gospel like Paul did in Acts ...

Christians often say, “God told me…” or “God gave me a word.” Is that the Holy Spirit’s guidance—or are we in danger of adding to Scripture? In this Mission Brief we unpack why a closed canon matters, how to honor the Spirit’s leading without elevating private impressions to God’s authoritative Word, and why Revelation 22:18–19 is a serious warning. Bottom line: God already spoke clearly in the Bible. If you want to hear God—read His Word out loud. Follow Men's Alliance Instagram - https://www.i...
