Summary

Mike Hernon, from Messy Family Project, joins us to talk about raising boys and the importance of a rite of passage. Raising a son has always been tough, but boys are under attack today more than ever. The ordinary struggles, challenges, and perils that comes with raising boys are magnified by a multi-billion-dollar industry targeting our sons for porn addiction, a media that demeans and undermines the Catholic faith, and educators and culture leaders who treat masculinity as a disease or a psychosis. And too many dads feel frustrated, ill-equipped, or just unsure about stepping into their role of parenting pre-teen sons. As your son approaches the teen years, he will be entering into perilous times and he is going to need you now more than ever before! But in terms of parenting, this is a golden time of high adventure, and sons will need you to prepare them. Sometimes it might seem like there is a huge mountain ahead, one you’re not sure you and your son can climb, or if either of you have what it takes.
