Send us a text!Earle "Marty" Combs recently went viral online after waking up at 4:00am in his home in Boulder, Colorado to check on a loud noise that had come from his kitchen.What he didn't know as he walked down the stairs with his AR-15 is that a black bear had broken in through a window, ripped his trash can out of his cabinet, and was rifling through the contents on the floor.After spotting the bear with his weapon light it immediately charged him. Marty put 7 well-placed rounds into the bear before it could get to him, dropping it on the spot.In this exclusive interview we talk to Marty about having Christian agency in the midst of an effeminate culture, what tools and training men should be working to acquire for the security of their people, and, of course, fighting bears.Support the show

Send us a text!When you think about building a band of brothers or a tribe of men, several practical questions arise: Are you a tribal leader? Should you join another tribe? Does this exist where you are? Are the men around you rowing in the same direction as you? In this episode, Dan Berkholder, Ethan Senn, and Tate Taylor talk about practical aspects for building a local tribe. They'll talk about establishing a vision, organizing, and setting the course of activities that should unite the tribe. They continue working out some practical help after reading Stephen Mansfield's book, Building Your Band of Brothers. Unfortunately, not every church or community will make for a good tribe of men, so context is really important. Likewise, not every man is a leader, so it's important to establish if you have the right constituent parts to work with in the first place.Find the book Building Your Band of Brothers here: https://www.amazon.com/Building-Your-Brothers-Stephen-MansfieldFuel your training with Mt.
