Pushing Through

Pushing Through: Building Capable Young Men Through Faith, Service, Scouting, and Hard Things is a heartfelt, humorous, and deeply personal reflection on what it takes to help young people become strong, faithful, service-minded, and capable.
Drawing from years of Scouting, church youth leadership, wilderness adventures, service projects, campouts, failures, do-overs, and hard-earned lessons, Paul Fowler shares real stories of boys learning to cook, lead, serve, endure, fail, try again, and discover that they can do hard things. Along the way, he also tells the story of how working with youth changed him.
This revised and expanded edition is not just a Scouting memoir. It is an invitation to parents, mentors, bishops, Scout leaders, coaches, teachers, and anyone who cares about the rising generation to raise the bar with love, stop rescuing too quickly, create meaningful challenges, and help youth grow through faith, service, work, and real experience.
With humor, grit, and testimony, Pushing Through reminds us that young people need more than entertainment and comfort. They need adults who will show up, expect more, serve beside them, and help them discover the strength God has already placed inside them.
If you believe today's youth are capable of more than the world often expects, this book will encourage, challenge, and inspire you to help them rise.
