“Too many boys are turning to virtual worlds of television, video games, digital media, and the internet to find realms they can conquer and areas where they can excel.

Trail Life USA gives boys a chance to conquer the great outdoors and life skills with the mentorship of godly men who pour into these boys the Biblical values we all hold dear.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Ten years ago, Utahns Jason Murray and Mark Hancock founded PACS, a post-acute health care company. In April PACS launched a successful IPO on the New York Stock Exchange and now has 275 facilities in 14 states. PACS's VP of communication Brooks Stevenson tells us more. BROOKS STEVENSON: PACS is revolutionizing the delivery, leadership, and quality of post-acute care nationally. We started PACS because we felt there was a better way to provide quality care in the post-acute health care sector. And as we execute on our mission, we are making a tremendous difference in the lives of the most vulnerable population in our country. We've taken decades of hands-on experience in post-acute care and translated that into a model that greatly reduces administrative burdens for our leadership teams; we do the heavy lifting on the business side, which gives our local teams more time to focus on the care, well-being, and quality of life of their patients and their employees. PACS elevates the delivery of local health care by providing technological and human resources, tools, and guidance, and empowering facility leaders and their teams to make local decisions based on patient needs. It's a simple philosophy that healthcare is local, and the focus on care is our top priority. DEREK MILLER: Utah is a leader in healthcare services and technology. PACS is a national leader in skilled nursing and post-acute care. The combination of PACS business model and Utah's healthcare talent provides a ready solution to the challenges facing the industry. I'm Derek Miller with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business. Originally aired: 7/26/24

News broke recently that the Boy Scouts of America is changing its name to Scouting America on the organization's 115th anniversary. According to the Associated Press, the Boy Scouts will become Scouting America in an effort to emphasize inclusion as it works to move past the turmoil of bankruptcy and a flood of sexual abuse claims. Scouts' lack of acknowledgement of the crisis among boys in our culture is only a small part of the problem. I'm joined today by Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA which is an answer to the deep crisis affecting boys in America. It's the largest Christ-centered, boy-focused scout-type organization in the country. Trail Life USA has 1,100 Troops and more than 50,000 members in all 50 states. These guys are doing an incredible job helping young boys become godly men.  Show Notes: http://heidistjohn.com/blog/podcasts/making-boys-into-men-in-trail-life-usa-with-mark-hancockThank you to Trail Life USA for sponsoring my podcast today.

    Trail Life USA - a Christian option, for those concerned about how the Boy Scouts of America have changed Trail Life USA offers camping, outdoor adventures, a process for advancing through ranks and badges, and connects boys and male teens with adult role models. In some ways this seems like what Boy Scouting has been doing for over a century. However, Trail Life has only been in existence for about a decade. In those ten years, participation in Trail Life has mushroomed to over 60 thousand -- that as Scouting USA (the new identity for Boy Scouts) has dropped by fully half, from two million to one million. While COVID, child safety scandals, less emphasis on outdoors activities (and more on electronic devices) and a general decline in the status of many membership-based organizations, today's guest says the BSA's departure from its traditional values is a big reason why. Trail Life USA is a national Christian ministry with the goal of building the character and confidence of boys.   Trail Life's CEO Mark Hancock tells us about the specifically Christ-centered and boy-focused programs for boys from kindergarten through high school. Their activities are a response to national research that too many boys particularly do not have strong, helpful, positive male role models. Today's Family Life Interview delves into the reasons Hancock sees successes where Trail Life troops have been started in all 50 states.       For follow-up information Find more about Trail Life, how to charter a troop, and where to find a program for your sons: www.TrailLifeUSA.com Here is a report on why Boy Scouts are faltering while Trail Life is growing:  "No Longer an 'Alternative'" A former pastor (and dad of two sons) now leads Trail Life USA:  Mark Hancock's biography

Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life, stops by to discuss the program as well as why the being in the outdoors is a great way to disciple young men.

  Do you wonder how to raise boys to become strong, godly men? Men who will one day lead a family, a company, a community, or maybe even a country. We want our sons to be risk-takers, adventurers, innovators, and creators, but it's hard when we live in a culture that does more to confuse boys than help them. Summer is the perfect time to re-air one of ETB's most-listened podcasts. Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, and I talk about what you can do to raise boys to become responsible men filled with integrity, honesty, and determination.  Read the full show notes with links here: https://conniealbers.com/raising-boys-re-air/ If you enjoy listening to Equipped To Be, would you kindly leave a review and a five-star rating?

On today's edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his heartfelt discussion with Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA, about the serious tug-of-war taking place in the family, especially within the relationship of fathers and their sons. Our boys need to know that their dads are there for them, and are invested in their lives. Fathers need to model for their sons the biblical truths on which to stand, and how to live them out. The rewards will prove invaluable for generations to come. Proverbs 22:6 says, Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.

According to Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA, we are outsourcing so much within our society, but one thing we cannot outsource is being a dad! Today on Family Talk, Gary Bauer talks with Mark about his new devotional entitled, Trail Ready: 101 Devotions for Dads with Boys. Gary and Mark discuss the biblical definition of fatherhood, and the destructive societal pitfalls we have been experiencing due to diminishing the integral role that dads play in raising boys. Instead of shaming fathers for what they have not done, we need to remind them of who God created them to be. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/707/29

Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA Trail Life USA The post 1382. The Boy Scouts of American Changes Its Name to Scouting America – Mark Hancock, 5/17/24 first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Mark Hancock is CEO of Trail Life USA and author of, Why Are We Sitting Here Until We Die----Sadly, we live in a society today that's lost its way to such an extent that many don't even seem to know the difference between male and female. Gender confused males are dominating women's sports and now the Boy Scouts, once known for their values and deep respect for both God and country, are dropping the word -Boy- from their name, changing it to -Scouting America-.--Since the Scouts have seemingly taken the next step down the slippery slope, is there an alternative-- Yes there is. It's called Trail Life USA. Mark described how it all started in June of 2013 when about 50 people gathered in Louisville, Kentucky. 68 days later an inaugural convention took place at Nashville, Tennessee, where 1,200 people came from 44 states. That's where they announced the name and the general line of the program. 3 months later, on January 1, 2014, the program was officially launched. Since that time they've grown to over 1,200 troops in all 50 states with nearly 60,000 members. --Review this edition of Crosstalk to learn about their motto, their core value, the connection to local churches, their outdoor focus, servant leadership and other hallmarks that make this organization a God-pleasing choice for helping young boys become men of Christ.

The Christian Outlook - May 11, 2024 Greg Seltz talks with Cliff May, of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, about the ideological underpinnings propping up the continued unrest on university campuses across the nation, as well as the culpability of the Biden administration. Albert Mohler looks at how far gone the Boy Scouts are, even going as far as changing their name to "Scouting America" to reflect their "inclusive" position, which really means non-homosexual boys aren't welcome. Bill Bunkley has a refreshing conversation with Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA, the scouting alternative for boys, which places special emphasis on growing boys into God-fearing men who can lead their homes in a Christ-like way. Seth Leibsohn reflects on an inspiring word from Teddy Roosevelt, which was really a challenge for boys to become men. As such, it was once included in the original Boy Scout handbook. Greg Seltz talks with Ryan Walters, Oklahoma's State Superintendent of Public Instruction, about what his state is doing to push back on the Biden Administration's redefinition of Title IX, a law that was originally supposed to protect women, and now does the opposite. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What You Need to Know is the Trump sham trials are imploding, and the 2024 election is on the line! The NYC hush money courtroom has been full of prosecutorial folly, the federal case over Trump's alleged “mishandling” of classified documents is now indefinitely postponed because the FBI mishandled the chain of evidence, and the Georgia appeals court is now going to consider Trump's motion to disqualify disgraced Fulton DA Fani Willis from her “get Trump” election interference case.   Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, joins Ed to discuss the recent name change for the Boy Scouts. Mark talks about how Trail Life is Christ-centered and boy-focused, giving young men the opportunity to form community and gain outdoors skills. Meanwhile, the Boy Scouts have become rapidly progressive in an effort to become more inclusive and appease the woke mob.

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!
