Men's Alliance

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 inte...

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, sw...

What happens when someone who helped lead a Satanic church meets Jesus face-to-face? In this powerful episode of the Men’s Alliance Podcast, Riaan Swiegelaar and Adele Vrey from DeliveranceHUB share their journey out of Satanism, the occult, and ritual abuse—and into freedom in Christ. They explain how deception works inside Satanism, why Satan does not “take care of” his followers, and how the en...

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 wh...

What is Messianic Judaism, and why do some Jewish believers prefer terms like “Follower of Yeshua” instead of “Christian”? In this episode, we sit down with Rabbi David Wein (Tikvat Israel, Richmond VA) for a full Messianic Judaism 101 conversation. We cover: • The meaning of Messiah / Yeshua / “Body of Messiah” • Torah vs Tanakh vs Talmud (and what those actually mean) • Why language matters when...

“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...

Conquer shares his story from York, PA—how Men’s Alliance pulled him into brotherhood, and how decades of hidden childhood trauma impacted relationships, anxiety, and identity. We talk therapy vs coaching, why men compartmentalize pain, how healing actually happens, and why you should never “dump the box” on your spouse. If you’ve got something buried under the laundry in the closet, this episode...

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...

Support Dr. Shayesteh & Exodus From Darkness: https://www.exodusfromdarkness.org/ A former Iranian Muslim and political fugitive Dr. Daniel Shayesteh shares how a revolution reshaped his country—and why ideologies that centralize power can erode freedom fast - and now it's happening in the US. He explains what surprised him most about Christians, what changed his worldview through academic...

Warrior from Grindstone Tribe shares his full journey—growing up Catholic, walking away, realizing “being a good guy isn’t enough,” and getting saved at a Greg Laurie Harvest Crusade in Angel Stadium. Then life gets wild: ✅ Six years serving in Thailand (Chiang Mai + Bangkok) ✅ Culture shock, language barriers, and ministry in a Buddhist context ✅ Returning to America and seeing the nation diff...

Men’s Alliance families — we’re rolling to Washington, DC. On Saturday, February 28, we’re doing a Men’s Alliance family field trip to the Museum of the Bible and we’re packing the house for Logos Theater’s biblical epic: God Meant It for Good (The Joseph Story). In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why the arts are a massive discipleship battleground • How to help your kids pursue creativity without l...

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 ve...

In this episode, we sit down with Mohamad Faridi, an Iranian believer who grew up inside the Islamic Republic of Iran and later came to faith in Jesus Christ. He shares a powerful story of: • Growing up in a family marked by Islamic martyr honor • Training that shaped his fear of death • The moment he heard the gospel—and everything changed • The cost of conversion: rejection, danger, and running...

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 d...

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 wit...

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 — unles...

Most dads can get by managing how to lead when kids are little… but teenagers are a different battlefield. In this episode, Tom Pfanner from Dads Who Lead breaks down how fathers can rebuild connection with teens, lead through the eye-roll stage, and create a real rite of passage that prepares young men for responsibility. Tom shares his personal story, how he rewrote his leadership when his son p...

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 str...

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 eva...

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....

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 f...

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 be...

Tim Moza — Northeast Senior Strategic Manager for TPUSA Faith — sits down with us to unpack the shockwaves happening inside the American church in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom. From over 200,000 people stepping forward to get involved, to pastors finding their courage again, to the seeds of a genuine revival, Tim shares what God is stirring across the nation. We talk about wokeism infiltra...
