News broke recently that the Boy Scouts of America is changing its name to Scouting America on the organization's 115th anniversary. According to the Associated Press, the Boy Scouts will become Scouting America in an effort to emphasize inclusion as it works to move past the turmoil of bankruptcy and a flood of sexual abuse claims. Scouts' lack of acknowledgement of the crisis among boys in our culture is only a small part of the problem.

I’m joined today by Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA which is an answer to the deep crisis affecting boys in America. It’s the largest Christ-centered, boy-focused scout-type organization in the country. Trail Life USA has 1,100 Troops and more than 50,000 members in all 50 states. These guys are doing an incredible job helping young boys become godly men.

I’m sharing my personal experience growing up in an angry home and how it affected me as a wife and mother. It is of utmost importance to control our anger, and I’m offering some practical tips I’ve learned for doing so. I’ll highlight the role of self-control and the power of the Holy Spirit. God wants to redeem our stories and set us free from the spirit of anger. There is hope!

I grew up in an angry home, and it had a profound impact on my roles as a wife and a mother. It’s so important to understand the root causes of anger to learn how to manage it in a healthy way. Today I’m covering the different (healthy or unhealthy) ways people deal with anger, such as escalating, stuffing it, or learning to manage it. We need to acknowledge the long-term effects of anger on children and the need for healing and resolution so we can offer them the best version of ourselves.
