In this episode, we sit down with Victor Bretting to talk buffalo hunts, brotherhood, and what his family calls “the Bretting Way”: a lived-out culture of honoring God, loving your wife, and raising kids who can stand on their own two feet. We get into why he built a ranch that’s more than a hunt—it's a place to disciple men, mentor the next generation, and help guys recover purpose. We talk legacy over lifestyle, discipline over comfort, and why every dad has to be brave enough to be the parent, not the buddy. If you’ve ever wondered how to build a family culture that actually sticks, this one will light a fire.
