In our culture, we don’t have any clear line, or event, or rite of passage for when a boy becomes a man. This leads to many boys struggling and trying to figure when, and how, they become men. A rite of passage is a powerful experience, from a young man and his father, that invites the boy into his journey of manhood.

My guest today is Steven Arms, and he is a leading expert in this subject. In his book, Milestone to Manhood, Steven shares his firsthand experience of his own Rite of Passage weekend, and he reflects on how it shaped him into the man that he is today. His book also provides other men with the framework of how to hold their own Rite of Passage weekend for their sons.
