Either the spiritual lights aren't on or maybe they are, but he's just not stepping up …ĭennis: Well, he's afraid, more than likely.īob: Whatever it is, he's not engaging in raising our sons. They get to do some small, user-friendly projects with their son that gets them tasting what proactive, substantive parenting is all about. And it's really designed, the target audience is for dads who have sons six to 12 they come in together as a group of dads, they watch a video with Dennis and I and some other dads on the video interacting at the same time they're reading the book, "Modern Day Knight," which kind of complements the series, but the series goes way beyond the book. ![]() But the whole thing is it's out a passion that I have to help young dads be proactive in their parenting by depositing substance into their sons' life that will stabilize them for a lifetime. Robert: And you did a lot more than toss softballs, you threw a couple of strikes yourself through that series. Robert: Yeah, I think this is kind of a low-intensity commitment, in one sense, that you're not going to be given tons of things to do, and it's not going to overwhelm you, read what it is – and, Dennis, by the way, I want to thank you for graciously consenting to be my host on this video series. Robert, welcome back to FamilyLife Today.ĭennis: Robert is the father of four, soon to be a grandfather, and he has a huge heart for this generation of men and the next generation of men, and that's why he's created a video series, a six-part video series, called "Raising a Modern Day Knight." Now, some of you, as listeners, have Robert's book that's by the same title, "Raising a Modern Day Knight," and, I don't know, probably three or four years ago, Robert, you called me on the phone and said would you have any interest in helping you host this, and I thought, you know, "I know where the motherload of ore is on this, where, in Robert's heart where he is passionate about men, I'd love to toss you softballs and let you answer them in front of a video camera, and so we did that, and he's created a brand-new series that is designed to really equip young fathers to guide their sons toward manhood with a biblical definition.īob: And your goal for this is for guys to get together in small groups, either in a church setting or just with a group of guys, watch this, and they'll get a roadmap out of this that will serve them for the rest of their lives as they raise their boys, right? He has to have some direction about his life and, hopefully, men and dads specifically have been encouraged this week by our guest, Dr. We started out this week with the thought in mind that we were going to help equip dads to raise the next generation of young men, and we've spent most of this week helping dads understand what they didn't understand about their own masculinity, which, I guess, is a part of where you have to start before you can pass it on to the next generation, you've got to understand it yourself, don't you?ĭennis: If a man is going to give his son direction, he has to know where the North Star is. ![]() Stay with us.Īnd welcome to FamilyLife Today, thanks for joining us on the Thursday edition. We'll talk today about things your son needs to hear you say and see you do as you raise him to be a man. Our host is the president of FamilyLife, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine. But what you're doing is you're creating for this budding young masculine spirit a sense of emotional security, which becomes bedrock in his development.īob: This is FamilyLife Today for Thursday, June 8th. You know, you go, "Well, is that it?" That is about it. Robert: And the most important thing that a young boy needs to see in the early stages of his life is dad loving mom in a responsible way – unbelievable, the gift that gives a young son growing up and, equally, a thing a young boy needs to hear is his dad constantly reaffirming him with words of love.
