We live in a world where being a man is no longer a requirement for a male. Its optional… and in some cases, even debated. So, it’s no wonder that most of our boys grow up to be lost, confused, and disconnected from their purpose. Many older cultures and generations practiced a special event to welcome their sons into manhood and initiate them into a life of maturity and responsibility. However, in today’s society, we lack any specific rite of passage from being a boy to becoming a man. Now we typically throw our sons to the world and tell them to be men and act responsibly. It might give us pause to consider that without specific rites of passage or intentional guidance, we start to call our boys men without actually asking anything of them. These older cultures that made a sort of demand on boys emphasized that manhood is not something that simply happens to you because you reached puberty and now can father a child. Instead, that culture says that in order to be a man, a husband, and a father, you must embrace certain responsibilities and deliberately choose a life of virtue.
ABOUT THE LEGACY PROJECT
If a boy is called out by his dad and invited and commissioned into manhood, it will have a significant impact in his life! It will help him have the courage and confidence to face the battles ahead. The Legacy Project is a chance to inspire families, forge deeper connections between dads and their boys, and give them tools for their journey as they walk a shared path. This event is an exclusive opportunity for fathers and sons to come together and recommit to the responsibility and honor of manhood. It is time for fathers to awaken the call and God-given purpose in our sons. To set them up for success. To call them to take their place with us. Unleash them to be men of valor.
