INSIGHT

Manhood Is Formed, Not Automatic

Masculinity is not innate; it is poured into boys through initiation and modelling.
Without initiation, boys stay uninitiated and often become broken men who consume more than they produce.

INSIGHT

Fatherlessness Drives Mental-Health Crisis

The mental-health crisis links back to fatherlessness and missing emotional co-regulation.
Children need a calm parental ecosystem to learn emotion regulation and identity.

ADVICE

Follow Jesus’ Watch-Do-Send Model

Do discipleship as Jesus modelled: watch, do together, then go alone.
Provide real feedback, testing, and anchored mentorship to form mature men.
