45. Stealing Past Watchful Dragons - A Conversation w/Mandy Nelson

What does it mean to be "adopted" as sons by God? This is the question Scott Morin (co-director of Empowering Ranch) and I dive into in this episode. Scott returns to the podcast to  bring some helpful perspective into this discussion using the lens of the Biblical language. We start with defining adoption, move into personal stories of how God transforms orphans into sons, and then discuss what the new testament has to say about it. (Galations 4:4-7, Romans 8:15, 23, 9:3-5 and Ephesians 3:1-6). Scott and his wife Mandy are gifted teachers leading disciples through scripture studies on Zoom calls on Wednesday nights. You can learn more about those and their other offerings at EmpoweringRanch.com.

44. Adoption as Sons - A Conversation with Scott Morin

Why wait for sex until marriage? Is there a compelling reason? Culture has lost God's vision for this incredible gift and the narrow path that ensures we get the most satisfaction out of it. In part 2 of this 2 part conversation, Jay talks with his 20 year old son Baer and his best friend Jake about the hot topic of sex.  Whether you are a father prepping for the conversations with your son, or a son looking for the good way, we pray you find these discussions life-giving and equipping.

43. The Sex Talks (Part 2 of 2) A Conversation Between Father and Sons

Navigating our sons skillfully from boyhood into the world of men is confusing and sometimes terrifying, especially when it comes to the topic of sexuality. No father leads his son perfectly, but this perfection we'd like to offer is not as critical as simply having some courageous intentionality. In these next 2 episodes I have a conversation with my 20 year old son Baer and his best friend Jake about their humorously imperfect journeys into manhood. In this episode we look back on the early father + sex son talks and their honest struggles to find God's best for them in a sex-drunk and perverted world. Whether you are a father or a son we pray you find these discussions life-giving and equipping.

37. Sons are Made in the Wilderness w/Scott Morin

Sissy Goff

In this conversation I got to speak with one of my parenting heroes and an expert on girl's development needs, Sissy Goff. Out of the 29 years experience she has invested in working with girls, she shares some incredible wisdom and encouragement. How important a role do fathers play in the lives of their daughters? What do daughters need most from us? What questions do daughters carry with them wherever they go, and what gifts does God give uniquely to fathers who have the courage to press in and love well? What common mistakes do fathers make when fathering their daughters into and then through their teenage years? And given that most girls suffer silently under the crushing weight of anxiety, how can we recognize this anxiety and offer our strength in a helpful way? We also addressed the 4 developmental stages girls must go through to become women. • Stage 1 – Discovery Years, birth - 5 • Stage 2 - Adventurous, 6-10 • Stage 3 – Narcissistic Years, 11-14 • Stage 4 – Autonomous Years, 15-19 We talk about these things and much more. Listen, enjoy and be encouraged that you are God-picked to be your daughter's father for a reason and with God's assistance you have everything you need to succeed. :) ABOUT Sissy Goff, M.Ed., LPC-MHSP, spends most of her days talking with girls and their families, with the help of her counseling assistant/pet therapist, Lucy the Havanese. She has worked as the Director of Child and Adolescent Counseling at Daystar Counseling Ministries in Nashville, Tennessee since 1993, with a Master’s degree from Vanderbilt University. Sissy speaks to parents and children’s ministers across the country, and is the author of twelve books, including the bestselling “Raising Worry-Free Girls”, “Braver, Stronger Smarter” (for elementary school girls) and her newest book for teenage girls, “Brave”.

36. Fathering Daughters w/Sissy Goff

The Being Sons podcast helps men take the ancient path into manhood where God prepares them for anything, anywhere.

David Thomas

Every boy needs things only a father can give. In part 2 of this 2 part conversation, we continue our interview with David Thomas, a sought after counselor with 26 years experience helping boys and families. We begin to dive into understanding the developmental stages of boys into men. • Explorer (roughly age 1-4) • Lover (5-8) • Individual (9-12) • Wanderer (13-18) • Warrior (17-25) I also asked him "Is it our job as fathers to push or pull our sons through the stages to become men, or do they naturally flow from one into the other?" What mistakes are common for fathers to make when fathering boys as they transition into manhood, between 7 and 20+ years old? What do we as fathers tend to focus too much on? Too little on? And what should we focus more on instead? What is your counsel to fathers when we blow it? How do we most effectively reconnect with sons? Very practically, what habits can we, as fathers, build into our routines with our sons to keep the lines of communication and joy open? What common qualities do you see in good, effective fathers? What do you want to say to men who fear they do not have what it takes to raise a son? (Maybe because fathering was not modeled well for them?) If you are a father to a boy, you will wanna hear this encouraging discussion. And be sure to go back and listen to part 1.

30. Red Pill Conversation on God and Money w/Lynette Zang

What do you do as a father when young men begin pursuing your daughter? While guarding your daughter's heart is your foremost mission, it also presents a rare opportunity to offer young men a clear vision of manhood that he will hopefully carry with him, not only on that date with your girl, but for the rest of his life. This conversation will leave you with an elevated vision of how God can use you to bring some much needed fathering and strength into the world.

29. Fathering Your Daughter's Date

Given the hour and the spiritual landscape we live in, we are more in need of God's intimate counsel than ever. Do you feel this to be true, like so many allies I talk to? In light of this great need, why would we not ask God for His counsel? That's the question Jesus has been highlighting recently. An honest answer to this question can serve as a prison cell door, out of slavery and into a truer understanding of sonship. In this episode Jay invites you to process this invitation along with Him.

What does the voice of God sound like? Would you know it if you heard it? You'll likely be surprised by what you hear in this conversation with Cayce Harris, a friend of Being Sons whose mission is helping sons live in two-way communication with God. In this episode we address some destructive misconceptions about the way God speaks and offer the hopeful truth that you are already more practiced at hearing God speak than you think.

27. What Does God Sound Like?

Asking Jesus 3 questions can help us cut through the noise and live in reality. This past week, hosting our first Trailhead father + son river trip, I personally took a big step in trusting Jesus to be the guide. In this episode I process my story aloud. "Jesus, what do I feel? Jesus, what do I need? And Jesus, what do I want?" What could the answers to these 3 simple questions do to help you live in reality?

Jay and Rich offer great examples of what happens when we stop to invite God into our lives. Their messages are highly encouraging and thought provoking.

Encouragement

Really appreciate Jay and Rich and their insight into the times and the scripture. Makes me look at what I already knew in scripture in a new way. 
Great conversations! Keep them coming!

Great!

Being Sons

Could it be that Jesus became the most influential man in human history because He was simply better than anyone else at practicing reality? Last episode Rich and I wrestled with one of the many stories where Jesus was required to cling to truth in a situation that suggested the truth may not really be the truth. This week Rich and I share some of our own stories of ways Jesus leadership in living in this unseen reality of sonship has proven God to be a better author of our stories than we are.

09. Sonship Under Fire - Sonship 101 E2

Many miss the treasure of the gospel when they believe Jesus invitation was simply to follow Him, live differently and become a Christian. But that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the offer He laid out. Instead His invitation was to come home with Him and be re-grafted back into the family God made that has been broken apart. Jesus masterfully crafts this invitation to his closest friends in MT 11 by creating a treasure map with hyperlinks to promises of hope made throughout the Old Testament going all the way back to the garden of Eden. I heard John Eldredge once say “There are only 2 types of men in the world: Those who rely on God and those who rely on themselves.” “Which kind of man will I be?” is the life and death option every man must make. That's why Jesus offer is a rescue. “Learn from me.”

Robin Pantusa

While in Colorado Jay sat down face to face with Rich and Robin Pantusa to discuss our culture's knee jerk reaction to COVID-19. But as Jesus alerted us in advance, things are not what they seem. Our peace and identity come under assault. As Rich succinctly explains, "our gyros have tumbled", meaning "our instruments may be lying to us." But when you know the truth, the truth shall make you free. This is a time we can choose defiant joy, set our sites on what really matters and discover our true wealth. Join us as we ask Jesus the question that brings peace in the midst of any storm.

Jay Heck

As sons we should always have questions. Best-selling author, president of Ransomed Heart Ministries, speaker, counselor and father John Eldredge has been walking in his identity as a son long enough and well enough to provide some very insightful answers to our questions.  What's the Kingdom perspective on the world today? Gender confusion? Mental health? God's primary revealed identity as Father? How do we maintain and even grow in connection with God in a world going mad. And along the way John shares some of the story of how God rescued him and began fathering him before he even knew that's what was happening. This is a very insightful and engaging conversation with a man God is using to father men around the globe. Be curious with us.
