Robert Lewis created an organization called Men’s Fraternity back in the late 90’s. I have had the pleasure of leading men through this training several times and it is amazing, life changing stuff. The new revised program is called Series 33. I’ve attached the web page if you would like more information.
Here are four amazing truths that have really helped me and countless men around the world. An Authentic Man is:
- Authentic Men Reject Passivity – this really hits home as a real need in our American Society today. I’ve often turned to my wife while watching a news cast, where there have been some big problems, and ask her, “where are the men”? We men need to step up, not shrink back. It really hit home when Robert Lewis explained that Adam was standing by Eve in the Garden of Eden and did nothing as the serpent tempted her. He did nothing! The book says she turn and gave to Adam and he ate. Come on guys, let’s stand up and fight for our wives and our kids!
- Authentic Men Accept Responsibility – once again as I look around at our current culture you usually hear something like, not my fault, they made me do that, she should have known better, they were after me anyway, they deserved what they got. No one accepts responsibility anymore. Step up guys, own it, fess up, take responsibility.
- Authentic Men Lead Courageously – guys let’s not shrink back when the going gets tough. Let’s step up and lead. Be an example. Don’t let fear drive your behaviors. Step out in faith and take some chances.
- Authentic Men Invest Eternally – as men, we are called to lead our family well. Not passively but courageously while taking full responsibility which includes the spiritual leader as well. Guys, let’s make sure we are leading our significant others, our spouses and our kids toward something bigger than ourselves, bigger than this world. The spiritual journey!
