In The Noble Man Podcast Episodes 102 and 103, Mike and Dean Briggs discuss raising boys into men and how BraveQuest can help in your endeavor.   Dean developed BraveQuest out of his own need for a strategic plan to guide his seven sons to manhood. Historically, cultures around the world developed rites of passage for their boys beginning around age 13, a time when they would learn to see themselves as men. Now BraveQuest fills the gap for a “biblical rite-of-passage system for fathers and sons.”  We fathers know we need to be intentional about investing in our boys and raising them to be godly men, and we need to begin early enough to shape their thinking as they move into their teen years. We have the desire but often lack the creativity to make it happen. Dean has laid it out in BraveQuest; all we have to do is implement the plan.  Dean suffered the loss of his first wife to cancer. His wife suffered the loss of her first husband due to a tragic accident. The Lord brought them, their seven sons, and one daughter together as a family. Out of that tragedy was born this gift that helped him work with his boys and will help you too.  Sign up here for a free Father's Field Manual (includes the turnkey BraveQuest Planning Kit).  Resources:  Dean Briggs Ministries  Read more from Dean Briggs    View Show Notes: NobleWarriors.org/episode102 Leave a Review: If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to leave us a review.

An exciting movement is taking place to get Bibles in school libraries, thanks to Hannah Sailsbury. While Hannah was working as a special ed elementary teacher, she began prayer walking around her school. Those walks led to the movement to get an engaging Bible into the hands of students across the nation.    Hannah discusses the need for men to engage in this work. Boys, especially, have been enthralled with the graphic nature of the Adventure Bibles. One elementary school boy loved reading it so much, especially the story of Samson, that he tried to steal the Bible to keep it.    Whether you are a dad with kids in school or just a man with the heart to see Bibles in the hands of boys everywhere, you can get involved.    Listen in, learn Our First Amendment Rights, and Join Bibles in Schools in spreading God's Word to students.    “So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11    Bibles in Schools    Bibles in Schools - YouTube    'Bibles in Schools': Teacher's Prayer-Walk Around Public School Leads to Global Ministry | CBN News    View Show Notes: NobleWarriors.org/episode101 Leave a Review: If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to leave us a review.
