A Christian Rite-of-Passage to Help Boys Become Men
Read the transcript from this episode.
What Is a Bar Yeshua Ceremony?
In this episode we're talking about how to foster the transition of boys into men through the Bar Yeshua ceremony, a Christian rite-of-passage tradition that I really hope catches on.
This is Worldview Legacy, the show that helps Christian men become the worldview leaders their families and churches need.
My name is Joel Settecase, and I'm here to help YOU, the Christian layman, to build a legacy, so that you, your kids and your wife will be able to confidently answer the world's questions, from the Bible, and as you do, you will see Jesus change lives as you share your faith.
Today we will answer, How does the Bar Yeshua ceremony mold young boys into men of character and virtue, and what can we learn from this intentional process?
Building a worldview legacy as a Christian man means training up the younger generation of Christian men, and walking them across the line from boyhood to manhood. But in our society, where is that line? When does a boy become a man? And how do we help our boys become men?
We're stoked to have Dr. Vern Poythress, a theologian and author, here to help us answer that question. He's going to drop some incredible knowledge on us about crafting the Bar Yeshua ceremony for his sons, Ransom and Justin. Get ready for insights into how this intentional ritual can help you raise boys into men with strong, robust, Christian values.
Whether you're a father, mentor, or just curious about rites of passage and intentional parenting, get ready to geek out on how structured guidance and rituals can build solid character and values in young men.
Specifically, you're going to learn about:
The rationale behind the Bar Yeshua rite of passage.
The Bar Yeshua Process—a detailed breakdown of the rigorous training that went into it
How to balance new responsibilities when your sons become men
How Dr. Poythress and his wife incorporated teachings on various life subjects… and whether or not he wishes he had included something physical or athletic into the process.
You're going to get solid guidance for fathers in this episode.
