For the past five years, Pastor Alex has had a monthly lunch meeting with a few guys to talk about social, racial, and societal issues. We have had black, white, and Latinos men all coming together to share our perspectives, ask questions, and listen to each other. This lunch started after the George Floyd incident in May of 2020 when my friend Hector connected me with Lieutenant Dave Meyer to gain perspective from all sides of that issue. From there, we kept meeting to talk about other issues and events like Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, Jacob Blake, Tyreek Hill, etc. We discussed all the issues you discussed on social media. Now, we are finally ready to share our conversations with the world. We will do this in a 10-week series of podcasts and then plan on releasing the book next year. “Lunch to Save the World” tells the story of how people from all different walks of life come together to civilly discuss what's going on in our world!

Life is tough, it's hard, it's unfair - that's the truth. So what!! Win anyway. Don't fall for the lie that since life is unfair, there's no need to even try to succeed. There is some truth to the fact that life isn't fair and that some people are born with an advantage. However, you can succeed if you are willing to work hard, get educated, make sacrifices, and make good decisions. Reject the notion of learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is a psychological state where someone feels powerless to change their situation after repeated exposure to uncontrollable events, leading to a lack of motivation and an inability to take action even when change is possible.

This episode comes straight out of Deuteronomy 28, when Moses told the people they are either going to experience blessings or curses from God. The message to the Israelites is still relevant for us right now, and that is that if we obey God we will be blessed. However if we disobey Him, curses and confusion are waiting for us. During this episode Pastor Alex also talks about how so many people today are confused, anxious, and depressed and end up committing suicide. That's all part of the plan from the devil to steal, kill, and destroy us.

Are you a helicopter parent? Be honest! In this episode of the podcast, Pastor Alex is once again joined by his good buddy D-Mack to discuss a few topics that are keeping social media buzzing. The conversation revolves around helicopter parents.

During his last few hours in office, President Biden issued a pardon for Dr. Anthony Fauci, along with other people, including several members of his own family. My question is why? Innocent people do not need a pardon! Dr. Anthony Fauci was responsible for overseeing the COVID response when millions of people died. There are a lot of questions that need answering based on some of the decisions that he made. This seems very shady!

Actor Nick Cannon recently discussed how he has been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I almost think that's just a dressed up way of saying that he's selfish. The brotha was recently challenged with his low functioning behavior after he fathered 12 different kids with six different women. In this episode of the podcast, Pastor Alex talks about the importance of “Locking Your Family Up” and being the “Daddy” that God has called you to be. Both of these are chapters in his book, Man UP.

Everyone has a set of beliefs and practices that shape their approach to the most important issues in life. Christians need to make sure they have a biblical worldview. Even more, we need to work to make sure that our children have a Christian worldview. In past episodes of the podcast, Pastor Alex has talked about hidden worldviews that we need to guard against. In this episode we dive into another one of these hidden worldviews, Postmodern Tribalism.

Last Tuesday, Missourians narrowly voted to allow abortion to be legal in our state. This is very disappointing. I'd hoped that the fine people of Missouri would be the first state to say NO to codifying abortion in their state constitution. In this episode of the podcast I examine which areas of our state were the primary ones to vote Yes to this terrible amendment. The results may or may not shock you. But this discussion is definitely going to ruffle a few feathers when I talk about the demonic plan of Planned Parenthood and one of their inspirational founders, Margaret Sanger.

I've noticed a difference between the way black and white churches operate when it comes to allowing political candidates to share their message in the church during political season. In this episode of the podcast, Pastor Alex evaluates why that seems to be the case. It seems that black churches are a little more bold in inviting candidates to speak in front of the congregation.

Some people think that politics and faith don't mix, but I would say that misunderstands God's nature and His intent for us as citizens. Voting publicly recognizes that we submit to the authority of the political system in our nation as established by God (Romans 13:1-7). Voting makes a difference the way a grain of salt makes a difference, and that is how we are to influence our society for good (Matthew 5:13). This episode talks about why Christians need to vote!

There are over 400,000 children in U.S. foster care and 350,000 churches in the U.S. If every church had someone in it who would adopt one child, we could solve this problem. During this Episode of the podcast, pastor Alex has a conversation with his old friend Eric Porter, the CEO and founder of Backyard Orphans. James 1:27 says, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this, to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” Backyard Orphans guides church leaders to develop a foster care, adoption, and support ministry.

Candace Owens has been an important voice to this generation of young conservatives. She came on the scene several years ago with her thought provoking questions that she wasn't afraid to ask and encouraged all of us to ask. She is sharp, articulate, and extremely smart. That's a good thing, right? Well, we must remember that our biggest strengths can also be our biggest weaknesses. And it appears that Candace has fallen into the old trap of having her knowledge lead to arrogance. She is making some wild assertions about Israel and other world leaders that has left many scratching our heads and wondering if she has gone off the rails.

I posted about this on Facebook a week or so ago and got a lot of feedback from this, but I'm going to say it again loud and proud… We must PROTECT women's sports. Girls, women, females, people with XX chromosomes should ONLY compete against other people who are the same as them! This most recent example of two non-biological females winning gold medals in women's boxing should never be allowed.

We all watched the blatant blasphemy during the opening ceremony of the Olympics. In spite of what some are trying to say, it was absolutely offensive to Christians. Social media was buzzing with people wanting to weigh in on it. One of the best responses came from Dr. Darryl Wootton, pastor and leader in Oklahoma. His response has been shared almost ten thousand times on Facebook. I wanted to have a conversation with him about his strong, yet gracious response. He lays out the truth of why it was offensive, challenges us to acknowledge no other religion would have been ridiculed in this way, yet in the end, he brings the focus back to our mission as Christians, which is to help people know Christ. Pastor Alex and Dr. Darryl had a good discussion.    Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

Growing up, my dad was meticulous about the way he wanted our lawn mowed each week. He taught me what to do and then he kept a close eye on me while I completed the task. My dad taught me early in life that if you don't have time to do something right the first time, you won't have time to do it over. He inspected what he expected. If my dad did this with something as fleeting as mowing the lawn, how much more important do you think it is for us to do this with the way we live our lives. The book of Ephesians encourages us to live as children of the light. That's not something we do once and are done. We have to make “right living” a lifestyle. It requires us inviting God to INSPECT us, as well as us taking the time to INSPECT ourselves.   Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. (Philippians 4:6 NLT) That verse says easier than it is to do, would you agree? Yet, that's still the standard. People are way too anxious nowadays and they worry about too many things. We are even teaching this bad habit to our children. We need to learn to take the Bible at face value and focus on developing an effective prayer life so that we can combat the destructive habit of worrying. That's what this podcast is all about.   Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

What do you do when you see someone on the side of the road, panhandling, asking you for money? Do you give it to them or keep looking straight ahead and ignore them? Jesus said we will always have the poor among us so I'm sure you know a few poor people. The question becomes, who's job is it to take care of the poor? The Church, the government, or you and I. This is the question we are discussing in this episode of the podcast.    Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.   Connect with us and our resources:    Our books - Let's Start Again & Man UP    More about us    Follow us on Facebook or Instagram

Parents and teachers are not supposed to be at odds with each other, but sometimes it feels like this is just the way it is doesn't it? I was a little disturbed when listening to a speech delivered by Becky Pringle, the President of the National Education Association. She delivered this speech at the 2024 National Education Association (NEA) Representative Assembly where she called for widespread changes to make the system more equal for all students. This seems amenable at first, but after listening to the speech, I realized they are putting way too much emphasis on the race and sexual orientation of our children. During this episode of the podcast I talk about the growing divide between parents and educators. I discuss WHY this divide exists and hit on what we need to do moving forward.   Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

You are in for a special treat on this episode of our podcast. I'm joined by Pastor's Mark and Anton Sergeev, Ukrainian pastors who had their Church taken from them by the Russian army at gunpoint! They share their story of how in February of 2022, in the beginning days of this war, Russian troops came to their house at 5:00 a.m. and threatened their family. Pastor Mark answered the door in his underwear and quickly had a gun shoved in his face telling him to leave because they were taking his church. Their Ukranian city of Melitopol is still under Russian occupation and their church is in the hands of the Russians. You don't want to miss one second of their harrowing story.
