Jesus calls us men to walk a powerful paradox—bold in truth, but gentle in spirit. 

In this week’s message, Pastor Jim Ramos breaks down what it looks like to be a tactical, discerning noticer of people without losing the humility and purity that makes the gospel irresistible. You’ve been sent out like sheep among wolves, not to be passive or polite, but to be cunning, observant, and unwavering in truth.

This message is from The MAG, The McMinnville Area Gathering for men in McMinnville, Oregon.
