Kari Kampakis
About this episode

Today's culture tells boys that being "the man" is all about dominance, conquests, and becoming the loudest person in the room. For parents trying to raise godly sons...and boys who care about their faith...fighting that tension between what gets celebrated by society and what God desires can be a real struggle.

Join Kari as she talks to recent Samford graduate Will Hudson about the real-life challenges facing boys today and 5 action steps they can take to deepen their faith. This episode is packed with good advice and conversation starters to help the next generation live fully and in peace. You don't want to miss it!
