About this episode
John Eldredge writes, “Men want a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is what is written in their hearts. That is what little boys play at. That is what men's movies are about. You just see it. It is undeniable.”
In today’s world, those desires can become distorted, twisted, or boys can be shamed out of righteous desires to pursue the lies society paints with glitter and holds up as bait.
You can affirm your boys in their desires for adventure, victory, and love, and do it with purpose. Teach them the right battles to fight. Give them tremendous adventures to live. Train them to be ready to rescue.
Surround your son with men and boys seeking a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.
