How to Raise Boys Into Men: Reviving Rites of Passage in a Fatherless Generation | EP. 73 Why don't boys become men anymore? In this episode of the Pryce Podcast, Jonathon breaks down why fatherlessness has erased the rites of passage that used to mark a boy's crossing into manhood — and what Scripture says about calling sons forward on purpose instead of hoping it happens by accident. We're raising the most fatherless generation in American history, and culture has rushed in to fill the vacuum with counterfeit initiations — gangs, pornography, endless gaming — none of which actually make a boy into a man. This episode unpacks what the Bible teaches about the passage from boyhood to manhood through 1 Kings 2:1-3, Joshua 1:9, 1 Corinthians 13:11, Luke 2:46-49, Deuteronomy 6:6-7, Malachi 4:6, and Ephesians 6:4 — plus the real-life examples of David charging Solomon and Elijah passing the mantle to Elisha. In this episode: ✅ Why fatherlessness has erased the rites of passage boys used to receive ✅ How gangs, porn, and gaming culture have become counterfeit initiations ✅ What David's charge to Solomon and Elijah's mantle to Elisha teach us about calling sons forward ✅ Practical, Scripture-based steps for single men, husbands, fathers, and young men ✅ How to receive the charge of manhood even if your own father never gave it to you If you're raising sons and don't know how to move them forward — if you're a young man who's never been told you've arrived — if you grew up with no father to walk you through it — this episode is for you. Family, stop waiting for manhood to happen by accident. Mark the threshold. Speak the charge. Pick up the mantle.
