What does it mean to be a man? How does a boy become a man? These questions are relevant to every man today.
In this episode, I'm joined by Jason Craig, a farmer, author, men's leader, and convert to Catholicism who writes frequently about the transition from boyhood to manhood. Jason is the author of "Leaving Boyhood Behind, " and he lives and works on his dairy farm in rural North Carolina with his wife and children.
In this episode we discuss:
Whether or not manhood is a biological reality
How becoming a man is a little like dying
Marks of successful transition to manhood
The importance of initiation rituals
What to do if you never had initiation rituals in your life
How to push your sons without wounding them
How to help your sons transition to manhood
And more...
