What is the Father and Son Retreat?
The Father and Son retreat is a fun-filled weekend that includes shared adventures, camp fires, food, and perhaps the most important one-on-one time between father and son that can be had, far away from the distractions of life.
We will also study together and instill in our boys who God has called them to be. The weekend will be capped off with a ceremonial knighting where the fathers knight their sons and invite them into their transition into manhood.
It will be the moment in our boy’s lives that we all wished we could have had.
Most importantly, we will point our boys to the Father, our creator, who will be their guide for the rest of their lives.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A MODERN DAY KNIGHT?
Beginning with a biblical perspective of manhood, author-pastor Robert Lewis shares a unique approach to shaping a boy into a man by equipping him with three essential elements: a vision, a code of conduct, and a transcendent cause (Christianity) in which to invest his life. Complete with ceremony ideas to celebrate accomplishments and ingrain them in his mind, this video resource is as insightful as it is practical in raising a boy to be a chivalrous, godly man. The series, hosted by RMDK author, Robert Lewis and FamilyLife founder, Dennis Rainey, is a 6-part study for me based on the best-selling Focus on the Family book, Raising a Modern Day Knight.
