Who’s standing beside you when life hits hard? Are you charging into battle alone—and losing because of it?

Drawing from Acts 2 and the story of Peter, Jim shows how even the boldest men fall when they isolate—but thrive when surrounded by others.  If you're tired of fighting solo and ready to become the man God designed you to be, it’s time to lock arms and step into the arena.

What makes a man step up and say, “That’s all I can stands—I can’t stands no more”? What does it really mean to be an enforcer of justice in today’s world?  In this week’s message, Pastor Jim Ramos lays down a challenge to every man: stop sitting on the sidelines and start enforcing biblical justice. You were made to carry Christ into the chaos, to stand in the gap, to rescue the broken, and to bleed for a cause bigger than yourself. When you enter a room, everyone should feel safer.  This message is from The MAG, The McMinnville Area Gathering for men in McMinnville, Oregon.

What happens to the church, a family, or a nation when men go passive? Are we asking too much of our strong women—or are men asking too little of themselves? In this week’s 10-minute equipping episode, Pastor Jim Ramos kicks off a four-part series ‘When a Man Gets it”. With biblical clarity and truth, you’ll see why men are the backbone of the family, the church, and society—and what happens when that backbone fails. Being born male is biology. Becoming a man is a choice. This episode exposes the difference, challenges cultural and church norms, and reaffirms God’s original intent: when a man gets it, everyone wins.
