Did Jesus really claim to be God?

A lot of skeptics say no. A lot of Muslims say no. Even some people who have spent years around church still aren’t sure how to answer that question clearly.

In this Mission Brief, we go beyond the words of Jesus and look at His actions.

Because Jesus didn’t just say who He was.

He acted like God.

We cover the shocking things Jesus did that only God could do:

• He forgave sins

• He accepted worship

• He changed the standard of the Law

• He raised people from the dead

• He predicted His own death and resurrection

• He rose from the dead

If Jesus was just a good teacher, these actions make no sense.

If He was just a prophet, these actions are blasphemous.

But if Jesus is truly God, then everything clicks into place.

This is a sharp, direct episode to help equip men to answer one of the biggest questions in apologetics:

Who did Jesus think He was?

If you want to be a stronger ambassador for Christ, this one is for you.

Can a man be too old for Men’s Alliance?

Oscar “Guru” Womack answers that question loud and clear.

Guru shares his story of growing up in Washington, DC, serving more than 22 years in the Air Force, building a 53-year marriage, and going through Carry The Fire at 78 years old.

Guru is from Sooner Tribe in Oklahoma, and became part of Men’s Alliance after attending Men’s Ignite in Dallas. What started as curiosity turned into full commitment — and eventually led him through one of the most challenging and life-changing experiences in Men’s Alliance.

In this episode, we talk about:

• how Guru first heard about Men’s Alliance

• why he almost didn’t do Carry The Fire

• what it was like going through FTX at 78

• lessons from 22 years in the Air Force

• practical marriage wisdom from 53 years of marriage

• why older men are still desperately needed in the fight

• how men can keep growing spiritually no matter their age

• why Carry The Fire is for every man willing to be sharpened

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I’m too old for that”

• “That’s for younger guys”

• “I missed my window”

• “I can’t do Men’s Alliance”

This episode is for you.

Guru’s story is proof that God is not done with a man just because he’s older. If you’re still breathing, you still have purpose. If you’re still here, God can still sharpen you, use you, and send you.

This is one of the most encouraging Men’s Alliance testimonies you’ll hear.

Did Jesus really claim to be God?

That question comes up all the time — especially from atheists, skeptics, and Muslims. In this episode, we go straight to the words of Jesus himself and look at 6 powerful Bible verses that make his identity crystal clear.

This is a short, direct, practical teaching for Christian men who want to be ready when someone says, “Jesus never claimed to be God.”

In this episode, we cover:

• why unclear verses should always be compared to clear ones

• one key verse from Paul that confirms exactly who Jesus is

Key scriptures discussed include:

• Matthew 12:8

• Mark 14:62

• John 8:58

• John 10:30

• John 14:9

• John 17:5

• Colossians 1:15

What is Carry the Fire, and why has it become one of the most important parts of Men’s Alliance?

In this episode, we break down exactly what Carry the Fire is, how it started, why it exists, and why so many men say it changed their lives. This is not just another men’s Bible study. Carry the Fire is practical training for Christian men in apologetics, discipleship, leadership, and spiritual confidence.

We talk about:

• how the training helps men answer hard questions about Christianity

• why so many men stay silent about their faith

• what happens at the Carry the Fire FTX

• why tribes and training are the two most important things in Men’s Alliance

• how men go from avoiding spiritual conversations to looking for them

If you’ve ever wondered:

“How do I lead my family spiritually?”

“What do I say when someone challenges my faith?”

“How can I become a better ambassador for Christ?”

This episode is for you.

Carry the Fire exists to train men to become stronger leaders, better disciples, and more confident defenders of the gospel. It is designed to sharpen men in truth, build courage, and prepare them for the spiritual conversations that matter most.

Why are there so many different translations of the Bible? Is that a problem… or is it actually a strength?

In this episode, we break down why the Bible has multiple English translations, what it means that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek, and how reading multiple translations can actually help you understand Scripture more deeply.

We also tackle a common Muslim objection about Bible translations and explain why comparing the Bible to the Quran is not really an apples-to-apples comparison.

In this episode:

• Why the Bible has so many translations

• Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic explained simply

• Why multiple translations are actually helpful

• A practical example from Matthew 5:3

• Why the Quran also has multiple English translations

• Why Jesus compares more closely to the Quran than the Bible does

If you’ve ever wondered about KJV, NIV, NLT, NASB, or how to answer objections about Bible translations, this episode is for you.

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 intellectual problem of evil

• Why evil and moral outrage actually point to objective morality

• The “God of the Old Testament is a moral monster” objection

• Slavery in the Bible: context, misconceptions, and hard questions

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, sword covers—but underneath it’s still the same thing: comfortable rooms, book studies, discussion circles, and people pretending they’re fine.

Men don’t change through comfort. Men change through challenge—and through brotherhood built in the fire. This is why Men’s Alliance starts with a rugged outdoor workout, builds real bonds through shared struggle, and stacks spiritual discipline on top (yes… memory verses + burpees).

If your current path isn’t producing freedom, strength, and brotherhood—maybe it’s time to try something that actually works.
