Publisher's Summary
Self-initiation is killing our young men. Without strong mentors, boys are walking alone into a wilderness of conflicting messages about who they should be as men. It's no wonder that our sons are confused about what the world expects from them and what they should expect of themselves.
The Intentional Father is the antidote. This concise book is filled with practical steps to help men raise sons of consequence—young men who know what they believe, know who they are, and will stand up against the negative cultural trends of our day. Jon Tyson lays out a clear path for fathers and sons that includes specific activities, rites of passage, and significant "marking moments" that can be customized to fit any family.
It's not enough to hope our sons will become good men. We need them to be good at being men. This book shows how fathers, grandfathers, and other male mentors can lead the way.

Story
Jamie Winship spent nearly thirty years living and working in conflict zones, and during that time he has learned an important truth: all human conflict originates from fear, and fear originates from a false view of God, ourselves, and others. Until we exchange what's false for what's real, we will never experience being fully alive, fully human, and fully free. Living Fearless is your invitation to listen closely to what God is trying to say to you about himself, about the person he created you to be—and also about all those other people he created and loves.

The recording really transmits the author’s passion about his son’s journey. Really inspiring
I love the idea and the vision to recover fatherhood during teenage years. Completely makes sense, even I’m not a Christian practitioner. I’m a mother of a two-year old son. His father is a chronic severe alcoholic, a completely broken man by his own alcoholic father and grandfather. This book gave me the hope that we can break the cycle. I’m excited about planning his journey with the community of men that will welcome him when the time arrives. Thank you.

Nothing vur "Toxic masculinity" BS
Literally mentions "toxic masculinity" 2 times just in the first 15 minutes.
Its just feminist trash with a Christian overtone.
