The Vanguard Project: Talking with Doug Moore about "The Silent Epidemic"

In this episode of The Burning Questions Podcast, author Doug Moore joins Davis Lacey at The Ellijay Cigar Lounge to discuss The Vanguard Project: A Tactical Field Manual for Fathers Fighting for Their Sons. In authoring this book, Doug leverages decades of experience as a wilderness guide, youth pastor, registered nurse, and more to help men in general - and fathers in particular - protect the rising generation from the chaos and destruction of "the silent epidemic" (i.e. electronic addiction and pornography). Survivors and sufferers of this silent epidemic will receive encouraging words of grace, and fathers and other mentor-figures will receive instruction on how to fight well - for themselves, and on behalf of others. Plus...Doug and Davis talk coffee, New Creation Soda Works, and their annoyance at drivers who terrorize the Ellijay roundabout!  Learn more about The Vanguard Project by visiting https://www.thevanguardproject.org/.
