65. A Boys Longing For Initiation Into Manhood & Rites of Passage

from The Lion and The Bear | A Podcast For Men

Every boy longs to know he has what it takes—that he's no longer just a child, but a man. In this episode, we explore the ancient and global hunger for initiation into manhood. From the jungles of the Amazon to the mountains of Mongolia, we take a survey of fascinating and sometimes brutal rites of passage that cultures around the world have used to mark the transition from boyhood to manhood. Then we turn our attention to you, Dad—offering practical insight on how to create a meaningful rite of passage for your son. Whether he’s 8 or 18, your intentionality can help forge strength, identity, and purpose in the heart of your boy.Support The Lion and The Bear:Give Online: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UBPUM8A8KQU4YConnect with us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drakeholderman/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drake.holderman/Connect with show sponsors:Roderique Realty: (417) 825-7667 Anvil Strength & Wellness: https://www.facebook.com/erik.theisEmail: [email protected] Trees Table Co.: https://happytreesco.com/Superior Roofing: https://www.superiorroof.net/Connect with Blackbox International:Blackbox’s website: http://blackboxinternational.org/Support Blackbox: https://blackboxinternational.org/the-lion-the-bear-podcast/Support the show
