Transition from Boyhood to Manhood
Curriculum for a Three Year Journey
I am continuing to refine the Manhood Rite of Passage journey. The following is an outline of the curriculum. I definitely want your feedback! Give the good, bad, and the ugly. Additionally, this is also a request for mentors!
Before we jump in, consider becoming a paid subscriber (any day now Mom!). It is more than just a blessing to us, it’s a partnership.

Your subscription not only sustains this platform but ensures that we can continue to explore, learn, and share together. Your investment in Kingdom growth is a blessing to our life!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am extending an invitation for you to embark on my son’s transformative journey to manhood. Be a part of our family ministry by shaping his future and molding his character. This is not for the faint of heart.
Check out the podcast Elias and I did on the initiation to the Manhood Journey:
This is for men and women who:
Think for themselves
Know their ‘why’
Life is oriented on and driven by their purpose
Have formulated thoughtful conclusions on how the world works
Are confident enough in themselves to critique and offer feedback
Live with the conviction that their existence, as does everyone’s, matters in the world
I am looking for mentors who have authentic answers to life’s questions (or they are at least searching for answers)1:
Why are you here? Why do you exist?
What are you willing to die for (ideas, convictions, persons, etc.)?
If you are interested in legacy building, fostering resilience, and sculpting character, I’d love your participation regardless of faith background. To clarify, yes we are looking for female mentors to help with the manhood journey. I am not looking for subject matter experts but rather folks who are authentic to themselves.
One other thing I am need of are some book recommendations, please comment below on the books that have been most influential in shaping your life.
