Guiding young boys through the early impressionable years has become an increasingly difficult responsibility for Christian men, especially in the face of the culture war. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with the founder and CEO of Trail Life USA, Mark Hancock, about how the outdoor Christian ministry seeks to teach boys to honor God and lead with biblical integrity. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.”
