In the journey toward becoming a man, every boy needs to hear that his father loves and affirms him. But sometimes it's not easy for fathers to know what to do or say to express that love and affirmation, especially if fathers didn't grow up receiving it themselves. John Brantley has a vision to equip fathers to do this effectively. He started BAM (or Becoming A Man) Adventures with the mission to provide a healthy and constructive framework for fathers, stepfathers, guardians, and mentors to confidently interact with their boys and provide the guidance and positive accountability needed to build strong healthy men who become leaders in their family, work, communities, and around the world. Using the "Do & Discuss Method", John and his team create memorable father/son retreats that teach fathers how to communicate four essential affirmations every boy needs to hear: 1) I know who you are, (2) I love who you are, (3) You have what it takes to make it in life, and (4) I'm with you every step of the way.
