In 'Fathered by God,' John Eldredge describes the six stages of a man's life: Boyhood, Cowboy, Warrior, Lover, King, and Sage.
Each stage has its own lessons and challenges.
The book emphasizes God's active role in fathering men, guiding them through initiation, healing past wounds, and restoring their true identity as beloved sons of God. Eldredge encourages men to be intentional about their journey, seeking experiences and mentors that help them grow and mature, and to develop a close, intimate relationship with God.
