Episode notes
Masculine Journey Shapes Identity
- Men progress through a developmental masculine journey with stages like boyhood, explorer, warrior, king, and elder sage.
- Each stage asks core heart questions (e.g., "Do you see me?") that shape later life if unanswered.
Your Image Of Jesus Determines You
- Getting Jesus' image right matters because men model themselves on their picture of Christ.
- A relatable, likable Jesus (as in The Chosen) invites men into transformation and genuine sonship.
Give Boys Practical Responsibilities
- Initiate boys by giving responsibilities like halvesies, chores, and money choices to build competence and ownership.
- Stop doing everything for older children so they learn hygiene, financial habits, and self-care.
