Steven sits down with Chris Lim, as Chris shares his story of the Rite of Passage that he organized for his son, Tristan. Chris was born and raised in Singapore and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. Chris knew that he wanted to get his four older brothers involved in his son's ROP, so he shares some of the challenges that he faced to organize a Rite of Passage abroad. He also shares some of the best parts of their trip together, and some growth that he has already seen in his son.

In episode #15 of the Milestone to Manhood Podcast, Dave and Steven talk about the after party. Now that you son is OFFICIALLY a man, it's time to celebrate! You want to give your son a birthday party, so he doesn't feel like he "missed out" because of his ROP weekend. We talk about why it's important to hold an afterparty for your son, and offer some suggestions for what that might look like.

In episode #14 of the Milestone to Manhood Podcast, Dave and Steven talk about bestowing the title of 'man' on your son, and the final blessing. These are the last formal rituals of the weekend - after this, your son has officially entered into manhood! It's a clear moment in his life that he will never forget.

In episode #13 of the Milestone to Manhood Podcast, Dave and Steven talk about the Ribbon Ceremony. Virtue is not something developed in isolation - it's something that we learn from others. It's also important to not hide your son from the fact that no man is perfect, and we all have character defects that we can improve on. The Ribbon Ceremony is designed to manifest this 'taking' of positive character traits from the group of men, while also making a conscious effort to 'burn away' our negative character traits.

The Ribbon Ceremony is one of the most powerful rituals of the weekend and is a great exercise in self reflection, both for the boy and the men on the trip.

In episode #12 of the Milestone to Manhood Podcast, Dave and Steven talk about giving letters to your son. These letters are meant to be something tangible that your son can take with him, once his Rite of Passage is over. Letters are a special gift, and the older that your son gets, the more he will appreciate them.

In episode #11 of the Milestone to Manhood Podcast, Dave and Steven talk about the Scripture sharing ritual. The sharing of Scripture is intentionally set up to encourage a conversation about faith with your son. Jesus, after all, is the ultimate example of what it means to be a man. He was loving, humble, strong, faithful, had a good relationship with his mother and father, and was self sacrificial.
