Some of the issues addressed at this years’ 2nd National Conference for Uniting Church and Family were the myth of adolescence, means whereby the local church can encourage boys to be men, the influence of grandfathers on young men, and the fact that modern Christians have allowed the world to establish goals for young men, rather than allowing our expectations for what our young man can truly accomplish (by God’s grace!) to be established by the Word. For an interesting take on the subject, consider listening to Dr. Davis’ tape What to Expect from A Twelve year Old.
