What does it take to raise a son into a godly man in a culture pulling him in every direction?

In this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson sits down with Creston and Hunter Leifried for an honest father and son conversation about parenting, manhood, discipline, technology, family rhythms, and spiritual formation. Creston shares the intentional choices he made as a father, including creating milestone moments, limiting phone and social media use, having hard conversations early, and constantly pointing his son toward Jesus and the Five Marks of Manhood.

Hunter shares what that felt like from the son’s perspective, including the parts that were hard in the moment and the reasons he is grateful now. Together, they give fathers a real example of what it looks like to lead with conviction, explain the why behind family standards, and stay deeply involved in the lives of their children.

This conversation is for dads, grandfathers, mentors, and any man who wants to help raise the next generation with courage, humility, discipline, and faith.
