What does it mean to raise sons in a world that feels unrecognizable from the one you grew up in? In this episode of Compassion International's Nuance series, Dave Willis—marriage podcaster and ministry leader—and Owen, a CPA and Compassion alumni, take a hard look at the generational gaps in masculinity, family structure, and financial faith. From absentee fathers to sacrificial generosity, from fear of the future to radical trust in God's provision, this conversation is equal parts sobering and inspiring.

Owen shares a jaw-dropping story of surrendering his last savings as a bold act of faith—only to experience divine provision in ways that echo God's promise: "You will lack nothing." Dave speaks honestly about raising four boys in today's world and why strengthening families is the key to shaping tomorrow. Together, they tackle difficult questions like: What defines financial security for a Christian? Should men be taught to stay when life gets hard? Are we training kids for the world we knew—or the one that’s coming?

This is a conversation filled with hope, truth, and practical wisdom for anyone burdened by the state of culture and the legacy they’ll leave behind.
