I came from the Father. Now I come home to the Father. – Jesus of Nazareth Friends, We come from the Trinity.  We will return to the Trinity.  So what is in the way of our homecoming?  Perhaps better said, where do we find ourselves along the journey of home-going? The mission and message of Become Good Soil reach thousands globally, nourishing men from 18 to 83. Men of different ages and at different stages of masculine initiation.
