In this heartfelt episode, Eric Henry sits down with Vitaliy Andriiets, the founder of Wise Carpenter, a ministry in Ukraine dedicated to mentoring boys—especially those growing up without fathers. Vitalii shares his own journey of growing up fatherless and how it shaped his passion for equipping young men with both practical skills and a strong foundation in faith.  

Through hands-on workshops, Wise Carpenter teaches boys not only how to work with their hands but also how to embrace their value and purpose. As the war in Ukraine continues, the need for mentorship has never been greater, with many boys facing life without their fathers due to military service or loss. Vitalii discusses how the ministry has expanded—tripling in size—and the growing impact it has on families and communities.  

This conversation is a powerful reminder of the importance of discipleship, community, and stepping up for the next generation. Vitalii also shares urgent needs, from financial support to prayer, as Wise Carpenter prepares for camps and continues its vital work.  

Tune in for an inspiring discussion about resilience, faith, and the role of mentorship in shaping young lives.
