Ep 339 Raising Up Our Boys to be Men ft. Mark Hancock

Send us Fan Mail

Being a boy in our culture today has changed dramatically from decades ago.

It used to be all about adventure, exploration, independence, and fun. Bike riding, baseball games, climbing trees, hide and go seek and showing up dirty, hungry, and exhausted when the sun went down.

Today young boys are met with gender confusion, that they do not have to be boys if they do not want to be and that dads are not necessary in the home to thrive.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!??

This is absolutely and utterly terrifying as a man… to think that boys are growing up in an age that is telling them that men do not really matter, are not even necessary to flourish and can decide to be women if they want to be.

Thank God for men like Mark Hancock and Trail Life USA, an organization on a mission to save the next generation of boys, raising them up to be productive, hardworking, courageous young men. We need more Kingdom men like Mark to stand boldly and to strengthen our young boys helping them to rekindle that adventure, exploration, and excitement of their youth.

Today Mark and host Chris Wilson talk about what he is doing with Trail Life USA, what their vision and mission are and how he and his amazing group of men and women are changing the world one boy at a time. And Mark is another Brave Books author too! Learn more about his terrific new book, Too Much Tubular.

 

"The boys come for the adventure opportunities, but what they're also getting is character and leadership opportunities." - Mark Hancock
