Show Notes

For most of human history, cultures have marked that transition with a Rite of Passage. Today, many boys reach adulthood without ever having that moment. Are we missing something? In this week's Equipping Men in Ten, Jim Ramos lays out a simple, biblical approach to creating a Rite of Passage for your son. It doesn't require a big budget or a complicated program, and you can do it in your own backyard with your son or gather a group of men and boys for the experience. Give your son a moment he will remember. Call him into manhood. Check out Rick Johnson's book about the rite of passage: https://tinyurl.com/power115 Want to protect your marriage?
