Today's Bible Study comes from Colossians 3:20-21 and shows us what it looks like for our families -- parents and children -- are like when adorned with Christ! There are a LOT of verses and helpful notes in this one, so be sure to check out the written version here. Also, here are the resources referenced in the podcast for further study: Shepherding a Child's Heart (Tedd Tripp, Shepherd Press); Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk With God (Voddie Baucham, Crossway); Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family (Paul David Tripp, Crossway). These are not parenting books per se, but 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity (Rebecca McLaughlin, Crossway) was very helpful in talking with my oldest about sin and the world as she approached her teens and Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers (Dane Ortlund, Crossway) can be helpful if you need to see how Jesus treats His followers who turn to Him as an example for to point your family to the Savior.

Ruth Whippman is a feminist writer. She's also the mother of three sons. Her new book, “Boymom,” reflects on the difficulties facing parents tasked with raising good men in an age where people on the right weaponize male concerns and people on the left dismiss them. She asks: What does it mean to raise men who feel validated in their gender identity but not entitled to more because of it? Whippman advocates for an empathetic version of feminism, one where men are held to a high standard but where the loneliness and suicide epidemics plaguing young American men are meaningfully addressed. We'll hear about her reporting, cultural analysis and own experiences as a “boymom.” Guests: Ruth Whippman, essayist, cultural critic and author of "BoyMom: Reimagining Boyhood in the Age of Impossible Masculinity"

Jon Tyson is back for the third time! In this episode, he uncovers the seven lies that hold men back from becoming fully alive. You'll discover the strategies Satan uses to keep you distracted and passive, and you'll be inspired to embrace your current season and ask curious questions for the sake of others.    Key Takeaways   Satan wants us dumb, entertained, oversatiated, and unmotivated. You must fight against despair, loneliness, shame, lust, ambition, futility, and apathy. If you ask curious questions about the needs around you, you never know what you'll get swept into.  What things do you need to harvest and enjoy right now before they rot and are gone?   Jon Tyson   Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Jon Tyson is a pastor and author based in New York City. He is the author of "Fighting Shadows" and the bestselling books "The Intentional Father" and "Beautiful Resistance." Jon has been married to Christy for twenty-five years and has two adult children.   Key Quotes   10:40 - "I always tell people, my vision is intentionality, it's not perfection. No one is perfect. In fact, the perfect fathers are often the ones that damaged their kids through such high expectations. It's just do your best, live in love, be honest with your struggles and get help. Rely on the community of men to help raise your kids. Ancient societies were not primarily just father-son societies. They were the community of men playing a vital role. It was the tribe that helped formed men, not just this psychotic pressure on an individual father." 19:23 - "I know everybody tells you this, be careful when you kill time, it has no resurrection. You can waste time. You can kill time. Waste time. Use time. Invest time. Redeem time. Or leverage time. And a lot of God, that's Ephesians 5, make the most of the time. That's not the word kross is the word kairos, which means you were in a season right now, that must be leveraged that you will never get again. It's not the same in every season. So I'm not advocating a kind of guilt where every, like, if every spare moment should be in prayer. That's, that's death. That's the law. I'm advocating, I'm advocating an awareness of your season. The things that need to be harvested now or they rot. Or seed now, or you missed the window to sow. Or enjoyed now or it's gone. How do you really figure what that is in that season and leverage it? Make the most because the days are evil. So yeah, it's about really trying to leverage the season more than anything else. First you got to know what it is, but when you know what it is going to be aware and go after it."   Links from Today's Conversation   Apply to join the Summer 2024 DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email awesome@dadawesome.org to learn more   147 | Jon Tyson on Intentional Fatherhood & Creating the Primal Path 187 | Jon Tyson on Skillful Manhood, Capturing First Moments & The Intentional Father Fighting Shadows: Overcoming 7 Lies That Keep Men From Becoming Fully Alive by Jon Tyson and Jefferson Bethke The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character by Jon Tyson Primal Path: A Discipleship Program for Fathers & Sons Awaken Network Podcast Sign up for Jon's Newsletter   Connect with dadAWESOME   Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

The youth program is a preparatory phase. 7:00 What is the Aaronic Priesthood actually preparing you for? 9:50 Having a mindset and vision of how you are preparing the youth for their future. John shares his mindset and vision for the youth in his ward and talks about the importance of articulating the vision. 12:00 John shares a personal experience of working with a young man that was struggling. Instead of focusing on getting him to go on a mission, he focused on him having special experiences with Jesus Christ. 16:00 There are some common misunderstandings with the youth program. What does it really mean to let them lead? 20:20 An integrative approach to the youth program. The four intentional questions: Know - What do we want them to know by the time they leave the youth program? Do - What do we want them to be able to do or skills do we want them to have? Be - What kind of person should they be? Experiences - What kind of experiences do we want them to have had by the time they graduate the youth program? 21:55 Some examples of applying the four intentional questions 24:55 As youth leaders in the ward you can build as much or little structure into the youth program as you need. Use the four intentional questions to help cover the touch points that you have. 27:00 John shares some examples of using the four intentional questions in his ward. One of the skills they have identified the youth needed was to be able to interact and talk with other people appropriately. They plan activities and conferences to focus on this need. They plan with intentionality. 29:50 Customizing the youth program especially for the youth in your ward. You can change things up. John's young women didn't do a traditional five-day camp because they couldn't find a week where everyone could be there. They broke it up into five one-day camps. 34:30 Leadership is a journey and collaborative effort. It takes time to gain some traction in your new calling. 37:15 Meetings between the bishopric and the young women's presidency. John explains what they discuss and focus on in their meetings. 38:40 How do you focus on the youth and not get caught up with other things in the ward? 41:00 John shares his final thoughts on how leadership has changed him and made him a better follower of Jesus Christ.

In the Apostle Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, he wrote, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”What does putting away the ways of childhood and stepping into manhood look like?My guest says it requires making five key shifts in mindset and perspective. His name is Jon Tyson, and he's a pastor and the creator of the Primal Path, a rite of passage geared toward helping boys become men. Today on the show, Jon and I unpack the five shifts of manhood and how parents and mentors can help young men make them and move from immaturity to maturity.Resources Related to the PodcastJon's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #810 — How to Turn a Boy Into a ManThe Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character by Jon TysonAoM Article: What Is Manliness?Adam's Return: The Five Promises of Male Spirituality by Richard RohrAoM Podcast #708: Overcome the Comfort CrisisRadical Candor by Kim Scott“The Courage to Face Ingratitude” by William George Jordan “This Is Water” by David Foster WallaceThe 33 Marks of MaturityConnect With Jon TysonPrimal PathForming MenJon on IG

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Dan Iten are joined by Brad Lomenick who is a leadership consultant, speaker, founder of BLINC, and author of The Catalyst Leader and H3 Leadership. During their conversation, they discuss the following questions: What is one thing you've read recently that has had an impact? What are you listening to? What is one tool or resource you've started using recently? Who is one person who has influenced you recently? What is one lesson you've learned recently? BEST QUOTES “I think a lot of training is really more about confidence than it is competence.” – Todd Adkins “If you become a curator of connections, resources or talent, you automatically have influence in the place you traffic.” – Brad Lomenick “Conversation, community, and connection around a table with people today is arguably more desirable than a conference or a big gathering where it's only about content.” – Brad Lomenick “As you think about the way you curate your church, your content, or the friendships you have, lean more into how are you creating transformational experiences that allow for a person to feel like it's it was created for them.” – Brad Lomenick “The things that are going to perhaps make the most impact on people are the things that don't scale well. It's the things that are one-on-one, very customized, and specific to that individual.” – Brad Lomenick “People want to feel like they're getting something that is so customized to them, something that is built on every sort of their felt needs. This is the challenge in today's environment, especially around leadership.” – Brad Lomenick “One of the things that you'll see whether someone is a pastor or just a normal person is that there is a great desire to be known. Not to be a user, not to be an acquaintance, or distant friend on social media, but to truly be known.” – Todd Adkins RECOMMENDED RESOURCES The Power to Change: Mastering the Habits That Matter Most by Craig Groeschel The Diary of a CEO Podcast with Steve Bartlett How Leaders Lead Podcast with David Novak God Comes Where He's Wanted (Sermon) by Jon Tyson The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character by Jon Tyson Deep Discipleship: How the Church Can Make Whole Disciples of Jesus by J.T.

Is the life that we are living now as good as it gets? Are we thriving, or just settling, and if we are thriving, are we doing it at the cost of others? This episode invites dads on an inward journey to see how much our ways, thoughts, values, and beliefs are reflected in the ways we raise our kids. Sam Feeney is a guy who loves to thrive, and he has valid reasons why dads should never settle for the average. As fathers, we set the path to where we lead our children. The best way to teach them, he says, is to model the behavior and values that we want them to embody. That goes without saying, continuous self-improvement and learning are non-negotiables. With learning comes mistakes, trials and errors, and fallbacks that should be normalized more than judged because fatherhood is a journey to growth, not a journey to perfection."I cannot say to my kids, 'pursue your calling, pursue the work that makes you come alive,' and they turn around and say, 'why aren't you?'" - Sam Feeney In This Episode:Here's what it means to thrive…Find out why it's never okay for dads to settle for just being okayCome clear with your intention on the legacy you want to leave behind for your childrenTrace the root of isolation and how it's happening at home, and how to break free from it before it's too lateRecognize the intentional and unintentional ways fatherhood is being attacked by society, most evidently observed on social media These two lag indicators concretely portray how fatherhood has taken a deep dive There are two questions your kids will play in their minds when they turn into adults, and the question they choose to embrace depicts the fatherhood you allowed them to experienceEvery blame-worthy situations come with responsibility situations, and along with these responsibility situations are golden nuggets most fathers often miss.

They feel lost, directionless, and unsure of who they are and how to confidently and competently navigate the world.Part of the reason for this is that most young men today lack something which was once a part of nearly every culture in the world, but has now almost entirely disappeared: a rite of passage.My guest today didn't want his son to flounder on the way to maturity, nor to miss out on having an initiation into manhood, so he set out to create a 6-year journey for him that would help him move from boy to man. His name is Jon Tyson, and he's the author of The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character. Today on the show, Jon unpacks the components of the years-long journey into manhood he created for his son, beginning with how he brainstormed those components by doing "The Day Your Son Leaves Home" exercise. We then discuss how old Jon's son was when he started his rite of passage and why it began with him having a "severing dinner" with his mom. We get into what his rite of passage consisted of, from the kickoff ceremony to the challenges, experiences, trips, and daily rituals Jon used to impart values and teach his son the "5 Shifts of Manhood." Jon shares how moving his son's focus from being a good man, to being good at being a man, helped him get remotivated to continue the process, why his rite of passage included a gap year after high school, and how Jon celebrated the end of his son's journey into becoming a man. We also discuss whether Jon did something similar with his daughter. We end our conversation with some key principles any dad can use to start intentionally helping their kids become well-rounded individuals who can confidently step out on their own and into the world.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: The Importance of FathersAoM Article: The Importance of Male Rites of PassageAoM Article: Male Rites of Passage From Around the WorldAoM Article & Podcast: Man's Need for RitualAoM Series on the origins, elements, and future of manhoodAoM Article: The 7 Habits — Begin With the End in MindAoM Article: The 3 Families Every Young Man Needs to Grow Up WellJames HollisAoM Article: Carry the FireArt of Manliness' Carry the Fire Zippo LighterAoM Article: What Is Manliness?AoM Podcast #527 With Richard RohrThe Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact by Chip and Dan HeathThe Way of Men by Jack DonovanAoM Podcast #49 With Jack DonovanAoM Series on the Four Archetypes of the Mature MasculineAoM Article: 100 Skills Every Man Should KnowAoM Article: 80+ Quotes on Men & ManhoodConnect With Jon TysonPrimal PathJon on TwitterJon on IG

We minister year-round through our ministry bases and strategic ministry partnerships. We believe that by giving people the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and join what God is doing in other cultures and nations, lives are transformed. We seek to disciple as Jesus did; our vision is that God would use us to raise up a generation of radically committed disciples of Jesus Christ. Family Mission Trips: https://www.adventures.org/family-mission-trips/   Conversation Notes   3:42  – Statement from a friend who works at Barna that heavily influenced Jon's life, “The church has basically reached a point of irreversible decline statistically,  and by radical discipleship of our children, what would be described as a historic revival the church is beyond human turnaround. So it's going to take an act of God and radical discipleship for our kids.” 5:00 – “The summer of covid-19 has probably been the hardest season of my life, but I've seen the greatest answers to prayer in my entire life this summer as well.” 5:28 – Thoughts on personal prayer life and for our kids. “Intercessory prayer for the places that we live, having a sense of call to shape a place through prayer, those are sort of the huge passions of my life and I think it's the number one thing most people want to do, but don't know how to do. And it's the thing the enemy attacks the most because it's where all the power and fruit lie.” 7:58 – How to coach our kids to pray? Make Jesus as compelling as possible. Also, stewarding your own life of prayer and sharing those answers with your kids. And make prayer fun. “The goal of prayer is to get your kids to love Jesus and I think when you're a kid, making prayer as enjoyable as possible and having consistency over intensity.” 8:19 – Dr. David Ireland. Jon Tyson's coach. 8:43 – Thoughts on having a coach, finding a coach, and what Jon has learned from that relationship and how it's changed his life. 11:11 –  Reasons to have a coach – “I think everybody needs someone older speaking into what they do. It's it's quite often in midlife…you've got enough success, you've sort of built your own coping mechanisms, tactics… you're kind of like ‘I can just keep it going… I've built a life [and] I can probably manage this thing out,' and I was just like I need to get better. The future's changing and as things grow I need to be more agile, so I need to get a different toolkit.” 13:25 – How to recognize a mentor? “I think… we all need to know what are we deeply called to, and then we'll know when we have the right person to speak into our lives.” 13:44 – The Primal Path: Raising a Son of Consequence 15:19 – Sharing about writing meaningful letters to important people in our life. 15:53 – His son's voluntary expression of gratitude and how it impacted him. 16:48 – Writing a letter to his dad to share with him what he got right. 17:52 – Richard Rohr – “Whatever pain is not transformed is transmitted.”  “We tend to break our kids in the same place that we are broken because we don't know a way through it.” 19:48 The Council of Dads: My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me by Bruce Feiler 20:52 – The World Race 20:57 – Sharing about the experience for his son. “I wanted him in this liminal space. My goal was to irreparably break his heart for the poor of the world so he'd never just be a spoiled, complacent American ever – He'd always be haunted, because those years are so formative… I just wanted to get in there, God's heart for the poor.” 21:51 – Book: The compound effect. 22:21 – Sharing the story of his son's finishing The Primal Path with a 33 day hike across Spain 23:49 – Parenting through social contracts – agreements around responsibilities, rights and privileges. Inspired by Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families  26:32 – Book: Parenting With Love And Logic by Foster Cline 27:18 – “We have a responsibility to take the beauty of Jesus and make him come alive in our kid's hearts.” 28:03 – The Primal Path. “The missing piece in modern culture, designed to help you walk a kid from adolescence into adulthood.” 29:11 – “Designed to create a sacred relationship and a  sacred journey between his father and his kids to help them get into adulthood….if you don't initiate your kids and take them on a journey, they will self-initiate, often through tremendous harm, or the culture will initiate them….it's basically who's going to design the pathway of helping your kids figure out life? 30:11 – “I'm trying to disrupt toxic masculinity and reclaim as normal a formation pathway from adolescence into manhood.” 30:23 – Pathway for his daughter – “50 Pieces of My Heart: 50 key deposits every father needs to make in his daughter's life.” 30:50 – Jon's next book, Intentional Father, Outlines five kinds of dads: Irresponsible dads – come in, get out, do nothing Ignorant dads – don't know what they are doing and do damage Inconsistent dads – torn with their own ambitions – often absent Involved dads – our culture's version of a great dad Intentional Father – believes it's the primary responsibility and builds a pathway based on who those kids are 32:33 – Sermon series around Altars. Message about the Home 32:54 – Most recent book: The Beautiful Resistance  – Being a dad of conviction vs. compromise. “Part of it comes with a sense of sort of working through your own drama… and figuring out what it is that God's given you, understanding what faithfulness to Jesus looks like, and then fundamentally breaking the fear of man… I'm not going to give an account to our culture for my life, I'm going to give an account to Jesus and there's joy in having convictions and there's joy in keeping them.” 34:24 – “Work out the convictions that God puts in your heart, convictions about discipleship, and then just don't care what people think. And it takes a lot of work and maintenance to not care what people think. And then to raise kids who are not controlled by the fear of man or the culture. You can't impart that if you don't have that. So there's a lot of soul work that you need to do to understand your own values and your own convictions and then be willing to literally go to war for them.” 37:12 – “Maintain the emotional bond with your kid. Kids come out of the womb with an emotional bond. Cultivate it. Keep it. That's the most important principle. So whenever you want to do any of these things, there's a connection where they trust you and they see that it's worth it.”   Conversation Links   The Primal Path Course – Raise a son of consequence The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character (available Father's Day 2021) Beautiful Resistance: The Joy of Conviction in a Culture of Compromise   Jon's Altars Series   The Heart The Home The Church The City   Jon Tyson   Instagram Twitter Church of the City New York   Links from dadAWESOME https://dadawesome.org/life/ Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team https://dadawesome.org/tour/

Proverbs 31 commends men who do justice—men of wisdom, self-control, and courage. In his new book, The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character (Baker), Jon Tyson writes, “Men who use their energy like this, courageous men, wise men, self-controlled men, just men—these kinds of men are the need of the hour." Tyson's book equips intentional fathers to help their sons reach their redemptive potential.In this episode of Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Jon Tyson discuss fatherhood, risk, discipleship, and more. 

In this episode, we welcome Jon Tyson to the show. He is a church planter and the lead pastor of Church of the City in New York City. He is originally from Adelaide, Australia but currently lives in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of NYC. He moved to the US over 20 years ago because he wanted to renew the Western Church. He is the author of books such as Beautiful Resistance, Rumors of God, Sacred Roots, A Creative Minority, and The Burden is Light. We spent most of this interview talking about the book he released in August of 2021 called The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character. In this interview, we discuss the difficulty of being a Christian pastor in NYC, why our culture doesn't focus on leading boys into manhood, how fathers can intentionally impact their sons over time, the four questions every father must answer about their son, why we should “sever” the relationship between our sons and their mothers, why initiation for young men is so important, and much more.

Our first episode! We start laying the groundwork and foundation for our future conversations around what it means, and what it takes, to be a Man Of God who leads his team, marriage and family for God's glory.Being our first episode, there are lots of "ums", background noise and mis-matched volume...we decided to keep it "raw" and unedited just so we can look back some day on how far we've come!The purpose of our podcast is to help each other be better leaders, husbands and fathers for God's glory. Our discussions are based on elements from the  Men's Ministry at Hillcrest Christian Reformed Church in Hudsonville, MI. For more information about us, check our website and hillcrestcrc.org......................................................................................................................................................................Quiet Time passages: 1 Peter 4:8, Proverbs 21:30, Joshua 1, Psalm 121.....................................................................................................................................................................Book The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character by Jon Tyson, 2021 Baker Books.  His definition of a man: an image bearer and son of God entrusted with power and responsibility to create, cultivate, care and defend, for God's glory and the good of others. (p. 37)Again, from Tyson's book, he suggests there are 5 Types of Fathers, only partial definitions below (p. 32-33)Irresponsible father ...no involvement, no responsibility, no support.Ignorant father ...doesn't know anything about being a father, doesn't try to learn or improve.Inconsistent father ...has the capability to do better, but prioritizes other things, bounces  between selfishness and attempts to invest as father, but no stable sense of security or identity is passed down to his children.Involved father ...does a lot of things right, but because of the business of life and the failure to ask the right questions, he never seeks to understand specifically who his children are and why God gave them to him.Intentional father ...deeply invested in discovering who his children are and how he can help them reach their redemptive potential. He seeks to understand the children God has given him and wants to form them into young persons who can fulfill their purpose. He sees parenting as central to his call before God and does it with all his might. This kind of father leaves multigenerational blessing in the lives of his children.

The primal path is the journey a boy takes into manhood. Jon Tyson @jontyson- writer, church thought leader, & pastor has provided a roadmap toward masculinity that fathers and mentors can use On this podcast we discuss - How previous books on topic fell short of providing a laid out multi-year path for boys to come into Godly masculinity - How tapping into ancestral & spiritual family history can be a powerful for young men - How to move from general training on manhood to specifics based on your sacred story with God Jon just released a book helping men initiate their sons called: “The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character” https://www.amazon.com/Intentional-Father-Practical-Courage-Character/dp/0801018684/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=jon+tyson&qid=1629224187&sr=8-4 For more information go to: Https://primalpath.co

Australian born author and pastor Jon Tyson talks about his latest book "The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character". He offers clear, tangible ways for fathers to be intentional with their sons.

A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Consequence "We need to have a vision of the day our sons will leave our homes and work backward from that day with a plan to help them gain the knowledge, skills, character, and experiences they need. This will enable them to move into the world as confident and healthy men. That's when the questions will start pouring into your mind. What have I given him? What wisdom, what love, what lessons is he carrying into the world? What brokenness is he bearing? What is my legacy to him?" "Formation happens day by day; distortion happens day by day. We are either helping our sons move into adulthood or joining the culture's attempt to trap them in an extended adolescence." “May it never be said that your son thinks there is more wisdom about life from Google and YouTube than from you.” “Somebody is going to disciple your son. Somebody is going to give your son wisdom on how to live, and it's either going to be you and a community of godly men or it's going to be the world. Your son is going to become someone—he is going to grow up. His character will be formed by someone.” Hence forth, may their richest experiences be ones we curated and planned for them intentionally, not just random, traumatic events that lead to brokenness. Listen in as we sit down with Jon Tyson, author of book “The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character”, and get in the nitty gritty of raising our sons with intentionality rather than shooting from the hip. Self-initiation is killing our young men. Without strong mentors, boys are walking alone into a wilderness of conflicting messages about who they should be as men. It's no wonder that our sons are confused about what the world expects from them and what they should expect of themselves. The Intentional Father is the antidote. This concise book is filled with practical steps to help men raise sons of consequence--young men who know what they believe, know who they are, and will stand up against the negative cultural trends of our day. Jon Tyson lays out a clear path for fathers and sons that includes specific activities, rites of passage, and significant "marking moments" that can be customized to fit any family. It's not enough to hope our sons will become good men. We need them to be good at being men. This book shows how fathers, grandfathers, and other male mentors can lead the way. You can buy the book from the machine that is Amazon here, or you can support the saints who run Hearts & Minds Bookstore by emailing them here.

Never has there been a time in history when gender stereotypes have been more widely acceptable to not conform to socially defined gender norms. Who is to say that a boy can't be sensitive and a girl can't be outspoken and strong! As many of us would agree, every girl and boy deserves to feel free to express their emotions and be completely themselves without apology.  It's about time that we reframes masculinity for a new generation and give boys permission to embrace a new type of masculine identity that feels right for them. To help talk to us about this we welcome our special guest Jessica Sanders Jessica Sanders is the bestselling and award winning author ‘Be Your Own Man' a beautifully written and thoughtful book that encourages a discussion about dealing with feelings and stereotypes for young boys. Jessica's previous books include “Love Your Body” and “Me Time” which have both been wildly successful around the world. Jessica is a passionate advocate and social worker whose mission is to support every young person to celebrate the differences within themselves and others. We ask Jessica questions including: It's been said that boys have inherited an outdated story around what it means to be male. Can you expand on this a little for us? Do you think that our current definition of what it means to be a male is hurting boys and men? If so, how? Where did your inspiration for this book come from? In your article you list 3 ways you can give a young boy permission to express himself, could you please go through them with us now? Do you think we need to be have to be deliberate in supporting boys to counter these harmful stereotypes and give them permission to talk about their feelings. Why do you think it is important to widen the perspective of children and parents alike when it comes to gender stereotypes?

He serves as the Lead Pastor of Church of the City New York.   Conversation Notes:   2:07 - Statement from a friend who works at Barna that heavily influenced Jon's life, "The church has basically reached a point of irreversible decline statistically,  and by radical discipleship of our children, what would be described as a historic revival the church is beyond human turnaround. So it's going to take an act of God and radical discipleship for our kids." 3:19 - "The summer of covid-19 has probably been the hardest season of my life, but I've seen the greatest answers to prayer in my entire life this summer as well." 3:35 - Thoughts on personal prayer life and for our kids. "Intercessory prayer for the places that we live, having a sense of call to shape a place through prayer, those are sort of the huge passions of my life and I think it's the number one thing most people want to do, but don't know how to do. And it's the thing the enemy attacks the most because it's where all the power and fruit lie." 4:33 - How to coach our kids to pray? Make Jesus as compelling as possible. Also, stewarding your own life of prayer and sharing those answers with your kids. And make prayer fun. "The goal of prayer is to get your kids to love Jesus and I think when you're a kid, making prayer as enjoyable as possible and having consistency over intensity." Video Link -"Teach Your Children to Pray" with Dr. David Ireland -- We pray that these resources will be an encouragement and help to you as you guide your children in learning to speak with God! Thank you all so much for taking your time and resources to invest in your children in this way. I am confident that the Lord is going to raise up incredible disciples because of the way you are all sewing into your children's lives and faith! 6:31 - Dr. David Ireland. Jon Tyson's coach. 7:02 - Thoughts on having a coach, finding a coach, and what Jon has learned from that relationship and how it's changed his life. 9:22 -  Reasons to have a coach - "I think everybody needs someone older speaking into what they do. It's it's quite often in midlife...you've got enough success, you've sort of built your own coping mechanisms, tactics... you're kind of like 'I can just keep it going... I've built a life [and] I can probably manage this thing out,' and I was just like I need to get better. The future's changing and as things grow I need to be more agile, so I need to get a different toolkit." 11:38 - How to recognize a mentor? "I think... we all need to know what are we deeply called to, and then we'll know when we have the right person to speak into our lives." 11:55 - The Primal Path: Raising a Son of Consequence  13:28 - Sharing about writing meaningful letters to important people in our life. 14:04 - His son's voluntary expression of gratitude and how it impacted him. 15:05 - Writing a letter to his dad to share with him what he got right. 16:04 - Richard Rohr - "Whatever pain is not transformed is transmitted."  "We tend to break our kids in the same place that we are broken because we don't know a way through it." 18:00 The Council of Dads: My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me by Bruce Feiler  19:03 - The World Race 19:08 - Sharing about the experience for his son. "I wanted him in this liminal space. My goal was to irreparably break his heart for the poor of the world so he'd never just be a spoiled, complacent American ever - He'd always be haunted, because those years are so formative... I just wanted to get in there, God's heart for the poor." 20:00 - Book: The compound effect. 20:25 - Sharing the story of his son's finishing The Primal Path with a 33 day hike across Spain 22:08 - Parenting through social contracts - agreements around responsibilities, rights and privileges. Inspired by Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families  24:43 - Book: Parenting With Love And Logic by Foster Cline  25:30 - "We have a responsibility to take the beauty of Jesus and make him come alive in our kid's hearts." 26:08 - The Primal Path. "The missing piece in modern culture, designed to help you walk a kid from adolescence into adulthood." 27:25 - "Designed to create a sacred relationship and a  sacred journey between his father and his kids to help them get into adulthood....if you don't initiate your kids and take them on a journey, they will self-initiate, often through tremendous harm, or the culture will initiate them....it's basically who's going to design the pathway of helping your kids figure out life? 28:15 - "I'm trying to disrupt toxic masculinity and reclaim as normal a formation pathway from adolescence into manhood." 28:35 - Pathway for his daughter - "50 Pieces of My Heart: 50 key deposits every father needs to make in his daughter's life." 29:02 - Jon's next book, Intentional Father, Outlines five kinds of dads: Irresponsible dads - come in, get out, do nothing Ignorant dads - don't know what they are doing and do damage Inconsistent dads - torn with their own ambitions - often absent Involved dads - our culture's version of a great dad Intentional Father - believes it's the primary responsibility and builds a pathway based on who those kids are 30:40 - Sermon series around Altars. Message about the Home 31:00 - Most recent book: The Beautiful Resistance  - Being a dad of conviction vs. compromise. "Part of it comes with a sense of sort of working through your own drama... and figuring out what it is that God's given you, understanding what faithfulness to Jesus looks like, and then fundamentally breaking the fear of man... I'm not going to give an account to our culture for my life, I'm going to give an account to Jesus and there's joy in having convictions and there's joy in keeping them." 32:34 - "Work out the convictions that God puts in your heart, convictions about discipleship, and then just don't care what people think. And it takes a lot of work and maintenance to not care what people think. And then to raise kids who are not controlled by the fear of man or the culture. You can't impart that if you don't have that. So there's a lot of soul work that you need to do to understand your own values and your own convictions and then be willing to literally go to war for them." 35:23 - "Maintain the emotional bond with your kid. Kids come out of the womb with an emotional bond. Cultivate it. Keep it. That's the most important principle. So whenever you want to do any of these things, there's a connection where they trust you and they see that it's worth it."   Conversation Links:   The Primal Path Course - Raise a son of consequence The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character (available Father's Day 2021) Beautiful Resistance: The Joy of Conviction in a Culture of Compromise Jon's Altars Series: The Heart The Home The Church The City Jon Tyson Instagram Twitter Church of the City New York
