Raise Davids - Ep.56
from We The People · host We The People Media LLC
In this monologue episode of We The People, Gates Garcia addresses what he calls the modern boyhood crisis — a formation crisis affecting young men across America. From declining academic performance and rising loneliness to the near-universal exposure to explicit content and the cultural normalization of passivity, Gates argues that today’s sons are facing giants that look very different than they once did. Using the story of David and Goliath as a framework, Gates challenges fathers to move beyond comfort and entertainment and toward intentional formation — building discipline, competence, resilience, and moral conviction in their sons. This episode is not about fear. It’s about preparation. Because one day, every young man will stand in a valley his father cannot enter — and what was trained into him will determine whether he freezes or charges. #WeThePeople #GatesGarcia #BoyhoodCrisis #Fathers #Masculinity #Leadership #Family #Faith #Responsibility #RaiseMen #Culture #Parenting Follow We The People and Gates Garcia across Social Media: Twitter – https://x.com/GatesGarciaFL Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/gatesgarciafl/ YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@WeThePeopleShow Website – https://www.wethepeoplemedia.com 🎧 Subscribe to the Podcast: RSS Feed – https://wethepeoplemedia.podbean.com/ Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-the-people/id1794018527 Amazon Music – https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/5a7b37f9-9bd0-4316-8855-da4dd2f3e9ea/we-the-people iHeart Radio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1323-we-the-people-262185022/ Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/6OJKGIXs751PN9qFL1FcJl We The People with Gates Garcia is recorded at the We The People Media studios in Tampa, FL, and produced by Gates Garcia.
