  • Pushing Through Is Now Available on Kindle

    Helping young people discover they can do hard things through faith, service, Scouting, and real experience.

    I’m grateful to share that the revised and expanded edition of my book, Pushing Through: Building Capable Young Men Through Faith, Service, Scouting, and Hard Things, is now available on Kindle.

    This book has been a long time in the making. It began with years of campouts, service projects, bike rides, winter camps, wilderness challenges, mistakes, do-overs, and a church calling I did not originally feel prepared to accept. What started as Scouting became something much deeper for me: a witness that young people are capable of far more than they often know, and far more than adults sometimes expect.

    Pushing Through is part memoir, part faith-based youth leadership reflection, and part practical guide for parents, mentors, Scout leaders, bishops, Young Men leaders, teachers, coaches, and anyone who cares about helping the rising generation become capable, faithful, service-minded, and strong enough to do hard things.

    The sometimes humorous stories in this book come from real experiences—burned meals, hard hikes, bad water, cold camps, service projects, leadership failures, spiritual impressions, and moments when young men discovered they could do more than they thought possible. Some stories are funny. Some are difficult. Some are deeply personal. All of them point to a simple truth: youth grow when adults love them enough to challenge them, serve beside them, and help them discover the strength God has already placed inside them.

    This revised and expanded edition also includes field notes for parents and leaders, reflection questions, activity ideas, guidance for church youth leaders, and a discussion guide for use by families, quorums, Scout troops, classes, teams, or small groups.

    The Kindle edition is live now, and the paperback edition is coming soon.

    If this message matters to you, I hope you’ll read it, share it with someone who works with youth, and consider leaving an honest review on Amazon afterward.

    Raise the bar. Lead with love. Help them push through.

  • Welcome to the Center of My World

    Welcome to the Center of My World

    My name is Paul Fowler, and when I look at the life God has given me, I see a beautiful thread running through everything I love—historic farmhouse restoration, rare antiques, champion Welsh Terriers, vintage iron, beekeeping, custom commercial printing, and sharing the journey through video. To some, those may look like separate passions. To me, they are all part of one calling: preserving what matters, building what lasts, and creating something meaningful for my family and others to enjoy.

    At the heart of everything I do is a deep belief that things built with purpose, faith, hard work, and care are worth saving—and worth passing on.

    First and foremost, I am a husband, a father, and a grandfather. My family is the center of who I am and the reason so much of this work matters to me. My faith as a Latter-day Saint anchors my life, and it is a privilege to serve as a youth leader, helping the next generation discover strong foundations of character, service, and purpose.

    Here is a quick look at where my days are spent:

    • The Jumanji Farmhouse: Our family homestead and restoration project, where we bring history back to life from the ground up.
    • Vintage Iron: My passion for preserving classic machinery that was built to last, from our iconic green-and-yellow John Deere tractors to our rugged Power Wagon.
    • Paul Farms Honey: Our dedicated beekeeping operation, where we work alongside nature to harvest pure, local honey straight from the farm. Paul Farms Honey
    • Yes! Print, Copy ‘n More: Our commercial printing and shipping operations in northern Utah, where we focus on fast, high-quality signs, marketing materials, and community business solutions. Visit us online at Yes Printing
    • National Road Antiques: My professional pursuit of historic preservation. We curate timeless primitive, rustic, and mid-century collections over at National Road Antiques.
    • Fowler’s Welsh Terriers: A dedicated breeding program focused on raising healthy, vibrant, and purebred companions. You can view our available litters at Welsh Terrier Pups.
    • The YouTube Channel: Where we bring these projects to life on screen. Follow along for behind-the-scenes vlogs of our builds, farm updates, and restoration milestones. Jumanji Historic Farmhouse – YouTube

    Thank you for stopping by my central hub. Whether you are here for farmhouse restoration, antique history, pure local honey, Welsh Terrier puppies, custom print work, vintage machines, or a glimpse into real farm life, I am grateful to share this journey with you. I hope that what we build, restore, raise, and preserve here will inspire others to slow down, work with their hands, honor the past, and create something lasting of their own.
