Dupuis Guides #01 | Reclaiming the Family: The Call to Return to the Wild

Modern families are crumbling in a world of air-conditioned safety and digital distractions. We’ve traded genuine adventure for "pretended risk," leaving men soft and households without a mission. But the ruins of our culture won't be rebuilt from a couch; they’ll be rebuilt in the wild. In this inaugural episode of a new series on The Parish Circuit, Pastor Stuart Amidon sits down with veteran outdoorsman Jonathan Dupuis to discuss the vital necessity of the outdoors in family sanctification. From arming eight-year-olds with machetes to taking infants into the desert, they explore how raw environments strip away pretenses and force a family to function as a unit. It’s time to stop playing it safe and start using God’s creation to sharpen your character and reclaim your household. In This Episode: The "Deficit of Danger" in modern childhood. Why discomfort is a faster tool for growth than counseling. How the wilderness transforms "gangsters" back into children. The vision of Dupuis Guides: Equipping the family for mission. Practical tips for getting your family outside—starting today. https://theparishcircuit.com/dupuis-guides-01-reclaiming-the-family-the-call-to-return-to-the-wild/
