It takes a Man to Make a Man out of a Boy
The Boy Crisis is real. Moms work very hard and really do a magnificent job at many of the critical aspects of family life but there are certain things that boys can only really learn from their fathers or from elders.
Men must get involved in redeeming manhood in the West.
We need healthy fathers to disciple their own and other boys into manhood.
5 Stages in a Man’s Life is a powerful Biblically sound psychological framework for such a process.
Fatherhood
18 since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”
