Raising Boys and the Making of a Man

In this day and age, I believe a young boy could grow up and go their entire life without getting a good idea of what it really means to be a man. Some were blessed enough to have good fathers who understood what it meant to be a man and passed on this knowledge to their sons. Increasingly more so, this is a rarity, as 1/3 of all kids now grow up in a home without their biological fathers. The statistics regarding crime rates associated with those growing up in fatherless homes is startling. I wonder how much crime would simply disappear if every home had a good father figure in it raising children well. How many gangs would simply dry up and disappear? I think cops would find themselves refreshingly bored. I know this is all wishful thinking, but my point is this: fathers need to step up. Think of the impact if you and I came alive as fathers? Your children will grow up and affect the lives of countless others and their children will go on and do the same. This ripple affect - this opportunity of compounding influence - has got to overwhelmingly dwarf whatever the majority of us may hope to accomplish at our jobs. Love your kids men. Teach them to be strong, dedicated, focused, gentle, fierce, loyal - teach them to be men.
