Formation happens day by day; distortion happens day by day. We are either helping our sons move into adulthood or joining the culture’s attempt to trap them in an extended adolescence.

They were like teenagers in a man’s body, chronologically and biologically adult but still acting like adolescents. This movement into adulthood won’t happen by accident.
