What is Manhood?

With leagues of information at our fingertips, many fathers strive, but never find a satisfying answer to this question. Thousands of voices claim the "right” response, but how do we know who is trustworthy? How do we have confidence that the path we walk leads to a full life? God's story is clear. Our heavenly Dad blazed a way for us to follow, leading to all the answers we seek. The best fathers desire to alleviate the cultural confusion around manhood for themselves and their sons. They want to offer guidance, but something remains between these fathers and offering their sons the way to satisfying life as a man.

No father can lead their son on a path they've never taken.

How can a father offer the Ancient Path if he has yet to walk it himself?

As we (at TNF) set out to offer true manhood to our sons, a realization left us unsettled. We weren't sure how to define it. We knew men are to be honorable, integritus, courageous, and loving, but that didn't settle some unspoken restlessness in our hearts. Something was missing.

God met us in the struggle and offered us an Ancient Path: intimacy. We found the truth of manhood in close proximity to him! Most men never step into intimacy and, instead, strive to guide themselves and their sons down a path they don't know. That is why we created the Heroic Journey of Sonship and Manhood: to offer a clear glimpse at God's Ancient Path.

The HJSM is a 12-month experience designed to lead fathers and sons into authentic manhood. They go on two adventures along the way, stopping at 12 waypoints to discuss the answers to two core-heart questions: Who am I? & How do I live?

At Waypoint 7, the pair go on a trip to Montana to experience God’s wild presence. Through the Journey, fathers walk ahead on the path and then return to walk it again with their sons. This is the call to adventure: receive and offer true manhood through intimacy with our Creator. Only one question remains...

Will you answer the call?

________________________

Waypoints 1-6 (Online) - From January through June, fathers and sons walk the adventure of Identity, answering the question, Who am I? Each waypoint requires between 12-14 hours of time a month.

Waypoint 7 (Trip) - Father and sons embark on a trip to Montana, where they finish their identity adventure. In Montana, they learn about the Ancient Path of the Heroic Journey and why it is the ONLY path to sonship and manhood. Their first ceremony of the year takes place here, where their first adventure comes to a close.  

Waypoints 8-12 (Online) -  When the father and son return home, they continue into the adventure of Code, answering the question, How Do I live? Each waypoint requires between 12-14 hours of time a month.

This begins January 1st, 2023, but if you miss that date, don't worry. You can still sign up for the experience if you are willing to be super intentional before your trip.

This ministry is amazing. I did this with my dad and my brothers. It was challenging and it helped me a ton. I am closer to my dad and my heavenly father. Can't wait to go back!

This isn't your ordinary father son weekend! This is a journey of a lifetime! The two trips I've done with these guys has been simply amazing! I can't emphasize enough the value of spending time away with your son in the beautiful Montana wilderness. The discovery of true identity in Christ is profound. I am amazed at how God worked in my heart and life as a result of this time of personal discovery.

I have been on a few trips to Montana with these guys and they are awesome!! Connecting with the Father on these trips is as much a part of the journey as the adventures you have while there. Learning about your identity in Christ and knowing that in your heart has made a huge difference in my life and my families.
