Email us at [email protected] this episode of the Man-Up Podcast, host Terry Gwaltney sits down with TJ Greaney — fourth-generation Texan, award-winning outdoor journalist, radio host, and founder of Kids Outdoor Zone, one of the fastest-growing men's mentoring ministries in America. TJ opens up about growing up in a broken home, living on the streets at 13, and how God used the outdoors to shape his faith and calling. Together, Terry and TJ unpack the epidemic of fatherlessness sweeping our nation, why so many men raise their hand for Jesus but never get in the fight, and how a simple Saturday in the woods with a fatherless boy can change the trajectory of a family for generations.

They never got to the front lines."🏕️ ManUp Adventure Camp — October 23–25 | manupadventure.com🔔 Subscribe so you never miss an episode!Remember:Legacy is not what you leave to people.
