E3 Underground

We recently saw a video on social media where a variety of men were asked the question, "mom, wife, or daughter?" Men were then to choose which of the three was a higher priority and state why. The answers varied- some chose mom because she gave birth to them, cared for them, helped and supported growing up. Others chose wife, stating she is his life partner. Still others picked daughter, because she needs her dad to care for, support and love her. 

Today we meet with Mark, a friend and elder in our church who shares his experiences as a husband, son and father. Mark shares the differences between his sons and daughters, and how he and his wife raised four children, working as a team and recognizing the difference between each child. Mark shares intentional ways men can pour into their daughters and sons, as well as how to navigate relationships between parents, spouses, and children.

Welcome back for Part two of our trail life interview with Mark Hancock. If you missed the last episode, make sure you check that out and then come back to hear the last part of our interview.

In our interview today, Mark shares questions that boys always ask and why having answers to these questions is important for parents and programs.

Mark discusses the importance of having men in leadership and why boys need this and some of the differences between how a mom and dad may handle situations with their sons and why this is important for the Trail Life USA program.

In part 2 of "Understanding and Improving Our Conversations on Abortion", Joel and guest Seth Drayer, Vice President of "Created Equal" discuss arguments for abortion and how Christians can have better conversations about abortion.

Joel and Seth discuss whether men can and should have a "say" in legalization of abortion, whether abortion is loving and prevents suffering, and discuss whether the church has failed to discuss this issue adequately and educate their congregations.

Seth shares a great opportunity for high school students, young adults and adults to get more involved on an annual event called "The Justice Ride" February 28th through March 8th, 2025. Find out more about this at: https://www.createdequal.org/justiceride/

This is a conversation you don't want to miss! We have a special release of a two part series that needed to get out ASAP!

This week, Joel meets with Seth Drayer, Vise President of "Created Equal". In their conversation, Joel and Seth discuss the topic of abortion, including common misconceptions, and definitions and terms commonly used to confuse the topic.

Joel and Seth lay a foundation for  Christians who want to better understand the topic of abortion and ultimately have conversations with others to challenge thinking about the issue and recognize the flaws in abortion logic. Using this information, we can become better defenders of the vulnerable in our population.

We understand that abortion is a difficult topic. For those of you who abortion is a sensitive or hard conversation, please be aware that this discusses some processes used in abortion that may not be appropriate for younger children. Please use your discretion.
