Summary

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.
