I just came back from Winding River Resort Campground, where I had the privilege to facilitate a Father/son campout with a group of men seeking to pour into the lives of their boys.
(It also inspired me to take up this blog again, since COVID-19 changed all of our lives.)
It was a tremendous experience to see men be intentional about raising their boys and to be attentive to what the Bible has to say about the role of a father. There were also a few “non-fathers” involved, which impressed me beyond my expectations. My heart beats largely for men being intentional to raise their own sons/daughters, but God drastically impressed upon me, during our activities this weekend, the beauty of generational families and the importance of taking up the responsibility for the boys within your family.
These precious men and I discussed “A Target” for manhood (I named it A Courageous Man of God), “How to Reach the Goal,” some “Tools for the Journey,” along with “Why Press On.” It was a wonderful time of fun and fellowship.
The men also had an opportunity to formally bless their boys, which was one of the highlights of the whole weekend.
I would highly recommend an event like this if you have the opportunity! If you’ve never done something like this, we gather for GoldRush every year (lately we’ve done it…) at Winding River Resort Campground just outside of Grand Lake Colorado.
I will also be facilitating a Father/Daughter campout (same location), July 23-25, 2021. If you are interested in joining us Visit https://www.gracechapel.org/event/silver-run-campout/ to sign up!
