Very grateful and excited for our next guest, Co-Author of the book "Milestone to Manhood".

Making the leap from boyhood to manhood is the most important transition that your son will make. His happiness, self-confidence, and future marriage all depend on successfully navigating his teenage years. As fathers, we can either sit by as our sons stumble over their own mistakes, or we can lovingly share our experiences with them to help them build lives of purpose and meaning.​

For that reason, Steven's family has celebrated a special birthday weekend to welcome their thirteen-year-old boys into manhood. They have held these celebrations to make it clear to them the exact moment that they became a man so they didn’t have to go through their teens and twenties wondering when manhood would finally “kick in.”

They called this weekend their Rite of Passage.

Steven Arms experienced one of these Rite of Passage weekends when he turned thirteen, and now he wants to share it with other families as well.  He will give a firsthand account of his ROP weekend, explain the rituals behind the event, and give fathers the tools needed to organize a Rite of Passage for their own sons.

Steven, thank you for your time on our show and your sharing your experiences with us. We look forward to implementing this Rite of Passage in our households!
