Fuze grew up in a Christian home in the Pacific Northwest, learning to hunt the woods near Mount St. Helens with a map and compass. Then he joined the Navy and walked away from God for almost 30 years. He became a firefighter and a Navy EOD tech, went through four divorces, and lived a life he now calls pretty dark.In 2012, a motorcycle accident took his right leg. He didn't pray, and he didn't believe there was anyone to pray to. He fought to stay on active duty and deployed again on a metal leg. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped praying for him.In this episode, Fuze sits down with Goose to share the long road back: meeting his wife at a 50K, the Christian men God kept placing in his life, a moment at a memorial service he still can't fully describe, and falling to his knees in his driveway in January 2024, the day he calls his alive day. Then the man who never wanted a call sign, coin, or patch again went on to help launch Shore Tribe, became its tribe leader, and earned his patch through Carry the Fire - going on to now being the Northeast Division Leader. You are never too far gone. God has a purpose for your life.

Virginia voters have three proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot this Tuesday, and there's a lot of noise about what they do. In this episode, Sheepdog walks through the language of all three, pulled from the Virginia Department of Elections, and share how we think a Christian man ought to weigh each one. There are many other important issues being voted on around the country tomorrow as well, so make sure you read your state's ballot and understand it before you go vote.

On May 30, 2024, in great shape at 46 with no family history of heart disease, he had a widowmaker heart attack.In this episode, Kimura walks through that day, the moment a nurse told him "you're not lucky, you're blessed," and how almost dying changed everything about his faith, his relationships, and how he wants to be known.Follow Faith on the Mat - https://www.instagram.com/faithonthemats/Tactical Reset - https://tacticalreset.org/Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

A recommendation led to a 2023 movie called Nefarious, a Christian horror film about a death row inmate who claims to be possessed, and a psychiatrist trying to determine if he's insane or telling the truth. The theology in it is sharper than expected, and it got me thinking about something a lot of us have heard before: the idea that demon possession in the New Testament was just an ancient, unscientific way of describing what we now understand as mental illness.Looking at several real, documented criminal cases where the person described hearing voices commanding them to act, we need to not be too quick to write off spiritual explanations in these scenarios. In a culture that largely doesn’t believe evil is real, we need the name of Jesus more than ever. If you or someone you know is hearing voices urging self-harm or harm to others, please treat that as an emergency. Call or text 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room right away. Prayer and professional care are not in competition with each other, and command hallucinations telling someone to hurt themselves or another person are a serious warning sign that always deserves immediate professional help alongside anything spiritual.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

Here's the problem with chasing diversity as a goal: whatever you pursue is your idol. If you're spending your energy engineering a certain look for your tribe, that's energy you're not spending on the Great Commission. Nobody would ever tell an all black church in Nigeria or an all white church in rural Virginia that they need to diversify. Bottom line: stop letting culture hand you a bullseye you can never hit. Stay on mission.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

Servant leadership gets mentioned in almost every conversation about leadership in the church, but a lot of Christian men are using the term to quietly get out of leading at all. Goose breaks down what servant leadership actually means, using Jesus washing his disciples' feet as the example, and why the word leader never gets cancelled out by the word servant.If you've ever used the phrase "servant leader" to explain why you're not stepping up, this episode is a direct challenge to rethink that.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV
