The power of a blessing for you son. Listen as I share a personal story and also a unique story about General George Patton.

Can Mentoring change your son’s life? That is the questions Evan covers in this podcast. He looks at the origin of the word and discusses clearly what a mentoring relationship looks like with a boy or young man. Mentoring is an avenue for wisdom, insight, goal setting, inspiration, and blessing.  Every boy would benefit from a mentoring relationship with an older man.  Evan also talks about how to find a mentor and vetting one for a younger son. Mentoring is not parenting and requires a high degree of commitment on both participants.

Today Evan interviews his real mother who he just met for the first time seven months ago. This is a compelling story of loss, tragedy, and waiting. Evan and Lynn are just now rewriting a story as they get to know just how similar they are.

This episode is my story of me being introduced to my real mother after not seeing her since I was a very young boy.  The encouragement from my friends to share this very unique story is the motivation for the change of pace this week.  Next week I will be interviewing my mother with some thought provoking questions.

In this episode I interview Paul Smith, author of Parenting With a Story. Paul teaches us how to use stories to teach rather than directive, or platitudes. Stories allow boys to interact and think about solutions or outcomes. Jesus used stories as a primary teaching tool in his ministry. You will enjoy this episode as Paul shares several stories from his book to highlight aspects of using stories to teach boys.
