Read 2 Samuel 23 and you find what a few mighty men can do for the cause of righteousness! But we hardly live in a time of manhood. Today, we have plenty of irresponsible men, spineless men, heartless and treacherous men who won't keep covenant, dishonorable men, and passive men. But mighty men of God are few and far between. The problem is a catch 22. For men who themselves have never captured a vision for manhood will have a hard time raising men.
In this inspiring interview with Richard 'Little Bear' Wheeler, you will find ways in which you can recapture a vision for manhood from history, from Scripture, and from a father exemplifying sacrificial, loyal, courageous manhood in the home.

“ Interesting! ” Kevin, I commend your efforts and understand the slant of your programme about the rearing of "courageous" men. At the risk of sounding critical, I think that you are taking away the sufficiency of the Bible in rearing courageous men. Within the broadcast, I am hearing too much the language of modern day psychology interspersed and human effort (father and son retreats/militant references) to raise courageous men. There appears to be a strong empahsis on 'image'.
But, is this how the Bible instructs?
'Courageous' men are reared solely by Godly example. By this I mean that Christian parents must encourage in their children a thirst/hunger for the Word of God, and too a commitment/dependancy and complete trust in the Lord in prayer/ loyalty to their local church/ engaging in reasonable service for the Lord/separation from worldliness. That, my brother, is courage and takes courage.
