Why College Men Need Church

Last updated on: October 7, 2013 at 1:19 pm By marcusbrotherton

Fact: If you’re a guy in high school and attend church right now, chances are that in a year or two, you won’t.

Through a Daughter’s Tears

Last updated on: October 3, 2013 at 3:23 pm By rickjohnson

Better Dads and Vancouver Courageous Dad (CVD) partnered to host the 1st Annual Father-Daughter Conference this past weekend in Portland, OR. This event was for girls age 12 and older and their fathers. The program was based loosely on my book, That’s My Girl: How a Father’s Love Protects and Empowers His Daughter. The purpose was to either bring dads and their daughters closer together or to heal broken relationships. A total of six sessions were held both together and... Read more

Does Honor Still Matter?

Last updated on: September 24, 2013 at 9:08 pm By rickjohnson

Perhaps no character trait embodies healthy masculinity more than that of honor (healthy honor—other cultures and religions have forms of honor that may not agree with our version of honor in the West). Honor is the soul of masculinity. It is a code that a man lives by that lifts him above mere mediocrity and survival. It enables him to use the incredible power that God has endowed him with to lift the lives of others beyond what they could... Read more

Last updated on: September 20, 2013 at 12:09 am By rickjohnson

The need to take risks in order to feel alive, to do the impossible, to face one’s fears and not back down is present in the warrior heart of every boy and man. But too often our culture teaches boys that this drive is bad or unnatural. We punish boys for being too aggressive, too boisterous, and too loud. We medicate them in school when they exhibit normal behaviors that are biologically driven Too many young (and old) men today... Read more

When Fathers Love Their Daughters

Last updated on: September 13, 2013 at 8:17 pm By rickjohnson

Fathers have an incredible influence (positive or negative) on nearly every aspect of their daughter’s life. A father sets a fundamental role model for his daughter regarding the qualities she looks for in a man and the standards she maintains in her relationships. He is the first man in her life and models how a man should treat a woman, how a man should act, and how a man shows healthy love and affection to a woman. He also sets... Read more
