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 study, and the moments that led him to Jesus. This episode focuses on truth, discernment, and how Christians can respond with clarity, courage, and compassion.

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 losing the mission

• Why this Joseph production is gritty, intense, and NOT a “cute Bible play”

• How Logos Theater and the Academy of Arts are working to reclaim the arts for Christ

• Practical ways families can cultivate God-honoring storytelling, performance, and communication

🎟️ Museum group tickets are through Men’s Alliance - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/mensalliance/1995622

🎭 Show tickets are purchased through the Museum of the Bible website

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 down: none righteous, not even one

• Why a biblical worldview can’t coexist with the “I’m basically good” narrative

• And why the bad news is actually what makes the Gospel good news

This is also perfectly tied to Men’s Alliance January memory verse: Romans 3:23.

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 for his life

• The miracle of finding family inside Iran’s underground church

• Why conviction matters when sharing your faith with Muslim neighbors

• His ministry work distributing New Testaments and discipling new believers

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 passages like:

• Hebrews 13:17 (leaders — plural)

• 1 Timothy 5:17 (elders — plural)

• 1 Peter 5:5 (elders — plural)

• 1 Timothy 2:5 (one mediator — Jesus Christ)

If your church is built on the biblical blueprint, you should see elder leadership, accountability, and authority rooted in Scripture — not personality, celebrity, or “one guy’s voice.”

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: “Uniformity of thought breeds intolerance of disagreement.”

If you’re a father, a teacher, a student, or a man trying to stay faithful in a shifting culture — this one’s for you.

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 spiritual maturity into one clear message every Christian man needs to hear.
