10. Arming Yourself to Fight the Good Fight, with Master Sgt (Retired) Anthony Dominguez

In this episode we turn our attention to the "Warrior" stage of the masculine journey as outlined by John Eldredge in Fathered by God. And who better to talk to about developing a warrior spirit than a U.S. Marine! Join our conversation with Master Sgt. (Retired) Anthony Dominguez as we unpack key questions related to this all-important aspect of the fatherhood journey: Is a warrior mentality God-given or can it be developed? Are there ways that men naturally bent toward passivity can be more assertive when situations demand it? How can we initiate our kids through the Warrior phase of their development? What are the biggest spiritual battles facing the next generation, and how can we arm ourselves to be victorious? What lessons from the physical battlefield can we glean to learn how to fight for just causes? Under what circumstances is not fighting the best course of action? Being a warrior isn't always about fighting, but it is about standing strong — whether against physical or spiritual forces. We are in battles daily, and it's important that we learn how to face them as men. It's equally important that we learn how to initiate our kids as warriors as well. This conversation with Anthony will empower you to do just that. We invite you to grab a copy of Fathered by God and go through it with us. We also encourage you to go back and listen to these past episodes covering other stages of the masculine journey: [Introduction] Episode 2: Telltale Signs of the Uninitiated Man [Boyhood] Episode 4: Raising the Beloved Son, with Pastor Wes [Cowboy] Episode 7: Adventure, Hard Work, and the Heart of a Cowboy Connect with us: Watch more great content on our YouTube Channel Follow us on Instagram Questions?
