This has been both on my heart and I have been encouraged by several people to get a FAST version of the "Raising a Modern Day Knight" small group going. This would be a Father and Son(s) small group. I have discussed the book and small groups with other men who have lead the group and the feed back has been positive.
The format would be meeting 2 days a month, every other week. One week would be fathers only and the next week would be fathers and sons (activity with a discussion following). This is a program that is as much focused on the growth and understanding of the fathers as it is for their sons.
Please post or contact me if interested. If you're not familiar with the book here is the link with description below. http://www.rmdk.com/start-today
What does it mean to be a man? Moreover, how does a father instill these qualities in his son? By Raising a Modern-Day Knight. Beginning with a biblical perspective of manhood, author-pastor Robert Lewis shares a unique approach to shaping a boy into a man by equipping him with three essential elements: a vision, a code of conduct, and a transcendent cause (Christianity) in which to invest his life. Complete with ceremony ideas to celebrate accomplishments and ingrain them in his mind, this video resource is as insightful as it is practical in raising a boy to be a chivalrous, godly man. The series, hosted by RMDK author, Robert Lewis and FamilyLife founder, Dennis Rainey, is a 6-part study for men based on the best-selling Focus on the Family book, Raising a Modern Day Knight.
RMDK is for Dads
The Raising a Modern-Day Knight Training Series is produced for fathers to go through with other fathers. We do not recommend that fathers and sons go through this together. While the information is certainly excellent for everyone to hear, having sons participate creates a challenge for some of the dads who may be struggling as a father. If a man is experiencing some difficulties or has questions, he may not be as willing to share with the other men if his son is sitting at the round table with him. That said, each week RMDK has created a ‘Dad Challenge’ that fathers and sons do together. These fun activities are great connecting points between father and son and can build an incredible bond to last a lifetime.
