The Milestone to Manhood Podcast helps fathers organize a Christian Rite of Passage for their sons. The purpose of a Rite of Passage is to make it clear to a boy the exact moment that he becomes a man, so he doesn't go through his teens and twenties wondering when manhood is going to “kick in.” Why is a Rite of Passage so important? Because if a boy is never told that he is a man, he will either reject his manhood completely, or try to “prove his manhood” to himself through things like video games, violence, or stunts.

Ritual #7 - Character Trait Ceremony aka Ribbon Ceremony

In episode #13 of the Milestone to Manhood Podcast, Dave and Steven talk about the Ribbon Ceremony. Virtue is not something developed in isolation - it's something that we learn from others. It's also important to not hide your son from the fact that no man is perfect, and we all have character defects that we can improve on. The Ribbon Ceremony is designed to manifest this 'taking' of positive character traits from the group of men, while also making a conscious effort to 'burn away' our negative character traits.

The Ribbon Ceremony is one of the most powerful rituals of the weekend and is a great exercise in self reflection, both for the boy and the men on the trip.
