Kenny Luck, founder of Every Man Ministries and author of Dangerous Good, challenges men to embrace a Spirit-empowered, counter-cultural masculinity. He shares his transformative journey from addiction to ministry and emphasizes the need for men to confront societal issues rather than blend in. Luck critiques current church priorities, urging congregations to focus on character-building rather than mediocrity. He highlights practical steps for men to serve their communities and live out their faith actively, embodying the 'dangerous good' ethos that Jesus modeled.

Rick Johnson's book 10 Things Great Dad's Do covers relationships that men should have. In this episode, Jim covers the importance of relationships for men and how deep we should go in those relationships.

ERIC "BEAR" ST. PIERRE Illinois State Director Eric discovered Cross Trail Outfitters in October of 2009 and fell in love with the three cornerstones: Building Men, Preserving our Heritage, and Sharing our Faith. CTO allows Eric to mentor boys as he himself was mentored as a developing youth. "If it weren't for the men in my life who decided to take an interest in me when I was young, I don't know where I would be today. In the town where I grew up there were many opportunities to stray down the wrong path. I am just thankful that the Lord was able to put me in a place where I could see I had a choice to do something different than all my friends, and I hope I can provide that same opportunity to boys today." You can contact Eric 'Bear' St. Pierre for speaking engagements or any questions about CTO via email: estpierre@teamcto.org or by phone 217-480-2327. http://teamcto.org/about/team/52-eric-st-pierre
