It starts and ends with this idea of becoming, and 2 central questions: Who have I become? Who am I becoming. This episode is a must listen! (Originally aired as episode 132)

Expanded Notes:
- Becoming is a central theme for men
- 2 key questions: Who have I become? Who am I becoming?
- Male initiation is part of our spiritual growth
- Every great story borrows from the gospel, which is meant to be the greatest story of our lives
- The image of God (imago dei) is evident in the power that boys & men display or pursue
- Initiation is about learning how to use that power to bless others
- The pocket knife as a metaphorical and literal demonstration of power
- We live in a world at war, where it’s hard to be a man (staying true to the process of initiation)
- The magic of the kingdom of God is made available in everyday life
