Description
One of the blessings of Real Men 101: Godly Manhood is the way it fosters a closer relationship between father and son. Fathers are able to pass on wisdom and practical skills inside a mentoring relationship. I see the fruit of this course in my adult son and other young men who have taken this course. We desperately need fathers to pour into their sons in this day and age. If a father is not available, another man can fill in. This course can even work in a group setting.
Real Men 101: Godly Manhood also works in a homeschool co-op setting and there is a similar course for young women, God’s Girls 101: Grow in Christ. We have actually used this is a group setting with a man and woman teaching together. Sometimes the girls and guys were together and sometimes separated.
