Too many boys are turning to virtual worlds of television, video games, digital media, and the internet to find realms they can conquer and areas where they can excel. The result of this virtual conquest is often apathy, apparent rebellion, or outright resistance to real-world challenge. How can a biblical worldview speak to this issue and offer young men a flourishing vision for their future?

Today’s guest is Mark Hancock, who is the CEO of Trail Life. Mark began his career founding a national advertising agency and running it for fifteen years. His conversion to Christ led him into ministry as a Youth and College Pastor, Associate Pastor, Homeless Ministry Director and Global Event Director for an international ministry, organizing events on five continents. He holds two Masters Degrees in the Mental Health Counseling field, having spent several years in private practice, and has taught at secular and Christian colleges. Mark has been a guest on numerous radio and television programs including: Fox Nation's Starnes Country, Family Life Radio, Focus on the Family, and James Dobson's Family Talk Program. In 2017, Mark was named to the American Family Association's '40 Faithful'.

Why do so many young Christians feel like their faith is just another item on a crowded to-do list? Why does boredom creep in when it comes to something as life-changing as a relationship with God? Recent studies show a surprising shift—Gen Z men are now more likely than women to identify as religious, flipping a generational trend. But what does that really mean? As culture moves faster and attention spans shrink, many in Gen Z are craving something deeper, more meaningful, more real. In this episode, we’re asking the big questions—about faith, purpose, identity, and how to actually think well in a reactive world.

Today’s guest is Ryan Pauly. Ryan is the Founder and President of Think Well, the Director of Immersive Experiences at MAVEN, and an Adjunct Professor of Theology and Apologetics at Biola University. He has been working with junior high, high school, and college students for over a decade as a missionary, school teacher, speaker, and apologist.

Teenagers love to argue--what if we could train them to see logical fallacies, and to search after the truth? Join Kathy Gibbens and Dr. Jeff as we discuss why we need critical thinking skills, how to identify it on tv, social media, and in culture, and how we know the truth!

Kathy is a passionate educator, speaker, and podcast host dedicated to equipping the next generation with critical thinking skills. As a 13-year homeschool mom, business owner, and Bible study creator, she first discovered the power of logical reasoning when her daughter studied logical fallacies for school. What began as a fun learning experience soon turned into a mission to help others recognize good and bad thinking in everyday life.

Driven by a deep concern for Gen Z and Gen A, Kathy launched the Filter It Through a Brain Cell podcast to teach essential discernment skills in a world where truth is increasingly difficult to distinguish. As a Christian, she believes truth exists and that thinking well is foundational to loving God with our minds.
