BECOMING MAN
THE CHALLENGE WE FACE
Boys Don’t Become Men by Accident.
Today’s culture confuses masculinity, leaving boys without direction. But God’s Word is clear: fathers are called to train their sons, and men are called to sharpen one another. The Rite of Passage restores this biblical model—equipping the next generation to lead with strength, humility, and faith.
Discover the 5-year path to biblical manhood.
THE PATH FORWARD
A 5-Year Path to Biblical Manhood
