Pastor Jay Dudley gave us a glimpse into the teaching content he shared at the Epiclesis-sponsored Trail Life troop's summer camp, June 2024. Jay serves as the troop's chaplain, and his sermon on this day explored three biblical stories of "garment gifts" that yielded insights into the meaning of salvation-- and a look at those gifts also set up a stunning backdrop for an intimate and little-known aspect of Christ's return. Join us for a masterful time of teaching.... The picture associated with this podcast post is of the actual scarf from the TrailLife camp week that Jay talked about in his sermon.

    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.

Are there any trusted organizations today that can help boys avoid the pitfalls of digital technologies while encouraging them to develop positive character traits? On this double episode from the archive, host Robert Marks speaks to former Eagle Scout and businessman Kent Marks about the problems facing young men today and the organization he co-founded to help remedy those problems.

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. Dr. Jerome Corsi is the New York Times best-selling author of over 30 books and hundreds of articles. He joins Ed to discuss his most recent co-authored book: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis: Forensic Analysis of the JFK Autopsy X-Rays Proves Two Headshots from the Right Front and One from the Rear. Dr. Corsi tells about the biggest conclusions drawn throughout this book and how it reveals more about the assassination of President Kennedy.

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.

Today on Truth in Politics and Culture UPenn President Liz Magill resigns in the wake of her terrible testimony before Congress, but the seeds of her resignation were sown before Hamas attacked Israel.  Is our current economic slowdown a good thing or a bad thing?  Hunter Biden's incitement strengthens the impeachment case against President Biden, and Trail Life replaces the Boy Scouts as a pathway for boys to become men.

You've got to be dedicated to make the decision to go off the grid.  The reasons people go off the grid differ, most are pretty insane, but some are just looking for a place to hide. The subject of today's show, Ted Kaczynski - The Unabomber, was a mixture of both.  The Unabomber's randomness of targets and timing had America on edge and had Kaczynski at the top of the FBI's Most Wanted list.  The way his story played out is interesting, but was the manifesto he wrote as insane as most think?  Well yes, but how did he get to this point in life?  We'll dive into this and more in this explosive episode of AHC Podcast.       Intro Music Credits: Download Free: / sad_guitar  TIK TOK [No Copyright Sound] Sad Guitar - Aries Beats - [FREE USE MUSIC, Sad Piano Beat, Instrumental] Let's type 100,000 followers.

Mark Hancock shares his story of how and why Trail Life got started, differences between boys and girls and what boys are looking for. Mark has 2 Masters Degrees in the Mental Health Counseling field, had his own private practice, and was a youth and college Pastor. He's been a guest on Focus on the Family, James Dobson's Family Talk and is a speaker at conferences across the country. He's been married over 30 years, lives in Greenville, South Carolina and has 2 sons. And he has a great sense of humor! He keeps myself and those around him laughing all the time. His son wrote a note explaining why he left the Boy Scouts. It was 3 words. "You weren't brave." We talked about the 3 questions that boys want answered when they are in a group: Who's in Charge? Who's with Me? What is our Mission? Boys are wired for risk and competition. Boys learn empathy by let our sons lose. We must not shield them from the opportunity to learn from losing. Boys need to learn language so that they understand their emotions and can learn empathy. Boys are hungry for people that pay attention to them. This generation of kids are: Unguided Ungrounded Unappreciated Uninspired And that leads to them being "Unproductive Narcissists". Trail Life USA focuses on Character, Leadership and Adventure. It is Christ Centered and Boy Focused. As a girl dad, this conversation helped me understand more differences between boys and girls and also helped me understand some things about how I grew up. Men: we need to be Brave, not passive.  GOD spoke of this 6,000 years ago. From the Book of Genesis: Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry?" Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." (NOT DOING what is right is a Sin of Omission) "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke) Weekly Challenge: Find something to connect with your child on this week. 6 Bonus Points if you can also find an emotion to walk through, sit with it and ask Jesus to sit in it with you.   Download Trail Life's booklet, "Raising Godly Boys" HERE JOIN our FREE Facebook Group, The Journey of a Christian Dad HERE Check out our sponsor Classical Conversations HERE
