About this episode
What does it take for a boy to become a man—especially without a father to show the way? In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul talks with James Stephenson, author of The Map to Manhood and founder of MyStepdad.org. Drawing from his own experience growing up without a father, James shares powerful insights about the foundational skills young men need most: self-discipline, social skills, love, and purpose. This heartfelt conversation offers hope, guidance, and practical wisdom for parents, mentors, and anyone committed to helping the next generation grow into strong, grounded men.
