In this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, hosts Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones sit down with Jeff Shills, Florida Director of Idols Aside Ministries, to talk about the life-changing impact of mentoring fatherless youth. Jeff shares his personal story of leaving behind a demanding career in the produce industry to follow God’s call into ministry, and how Idols Aside uses the outdoors, sports, and discipleship to connect kids without a father in their life with their Heavenly Father. From retreats on 100-acre ranches to on-campus discipleship groups in schools, Jeff describes how churches and men can step into the lives of young men who desperately need a godly example. This conversation highlights the importance of presence, consistency, and courage as men live out their calling to fight for the fatherless.
