The Challenge 

Many Boys Are Being Left Behind

Boys think, learn, mature, and play differently than girls. Experts tell us boys require more space and have a shorter attention span than most girls. The traditional classroom model has proven ineffective in impacting boys and young men and mentoring them toward genuine spiritual formation. You probably chose to visit us because you recognize this problem.

“Many parents are reluctant or ill equipped to teach their boys what masculinity really means… Chief among our concerns is the mentoring that dads should be providing.”

James Dobson, Bringing Up Boys

 

It takes a godly man to show a boy what it means to be godly a man. The men around a boy have some of the most profound influence on a his life. Through the words he speaks and the life he models, a man has a deep influence on a boy’s social, intellectual, emotional and most importantly, spiritual formation. Studies show that boys emulate the men they see. It doesn’t matter if that man is on television or in his home. We’ll partner with your men and help equip them to make a difference.

“The men of the church will have to get deeply involved in order for boys to become men through watching and emulating them. The imprinter of manhood that every boy seeks comes from one place only: other men.”

Rick Bundschuh, Passed Through Fire
