Trail-Ready: Guiding Young Men to Honor God
Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, emphasizes that while many responsibilities in society are outsourced, fatherhood is not one of them. In this episode of Family Talk, Mark and Gary Bauer explore the biblical foundation of fatherhood and the vital role dads play in raising boys. Their discussion highlights the need to encourage fathers by reminding them of their God-given purpose rather than shaming them for shortcomings.

Raising Godly Boys
More than ever, boys need a uniquely masculine program where their assertive, audacious, and adventurous nature is celebrated, not sequestered.
Too many boys are turning to virtual worlds to find realms they can conquer and areas where they can excel. The result of this virtual conquest is apathy, apparent rebellion, or outright resistance to real-world challenge.
Trail Life USA is an environment where boys thrive! Adults are equipped to lead a program in a structured outdoor environment where boys are engaged in real-world challenge and experience camping, hiking, and fishing; they develop skills in riflery, archery, and canoeing; and learn character and leadership in a practical hands-on manner that is naturally engaging.
Boys find mentors, fathers and sons connect, important relationships are fostered, and boys find opportunity to achieve significant accomplishment.

Boys are often unguided, ungrounded, unappreciated, and uninspired. Trail Life USA seeks to change that.
Boys have big questions that routinely go unanswered: “What does it mean to be a man?” “Where do I belong?” “What are my boundaries, and why are they set?” “Why should I even try?”
Trail Life USA uses its Proven Process to help boys answer life’s toughest questions and find purpose in what they do. We provide godly mentors and models of what true manhood looks like. These men are trained, background-checked, Christian men who have a heart for mentoring boys.
We take an unapologetically Christian stance, and use the Bible as the foundation for truth.
Trail Life USA provides a boy-focused program with a robust awards program and challenging mental, physical, and spiritual objectives that is specifically designed to accentuate boys’ strengths and let boys be boys!
