Men in the Arena - Christian Men's Podcast

There are three types of people in this life. Sheep, Wolves, and Sheep Dogs. Raising a child who isn't a bully isn't enough. Raising a child who is bully-proof isn't enough. Raising a child who is a protector of the weak is the goal. Protectors, founded in 2005, was born from personal experience and a unique understanding into a fundamental weakness to existing anti-bullying programs. As a Target of bullying while in elementary school, Founder and President Paul Coughlin knows just how damaging such a campaign of cruelty can be to a person's emotional and psychological wellbeing—damage that can harm a person well into adulthood. Some never recover. Unlike traditional anti-bullying efforts that focus primarily upon reforming children who bully and which are historically ineffective, The Protectors focuses primarily upon the potential strength, heroic desire, and rescuing capacity of Bystanders, transforming them into what we call "Alongside Standers." We also provide assertiveness training for Targets, help Authority dispel the many damaging myths about bullying, and inspire children who bully to employ their power in life-affirming directions instead. Studies show that Bystanders possess the most potential power to transform what we call the "Theater of Bullying" into a theater of character, freedom and justice. One study revealed that if only one Bystander, who doesn't even need to be popular, uses his or her assertive but non-violent words in defense of a Target, that the incident of bullying can end 58% of the time within 6 to 8 seconds. By intervening on behalf of Targets, Bystanders will not only create safer and happier schools, but also create greater character within themselves and others. https://theprotectors.org www.mancardpodcast.com

In this Equipping in Ten our goal isn't just to raise children of high moral character. We need to be raising children who defend the weak. Are you raising protectors in your home? What do they see in you? www.mancardpodcast.com
