Chapter 2: Getting Your Heart Back

Because the masculine journey has two important components, so does the book. The two significant mile markers we are after: HEALING—Becoming the beloved and TRAINING—Becoming the Warrior. Chapter 2 contains more of the problem... the horrible mistakes being made and what it is costing us. We (the church) are de- ploying men into battle who don’t have the heart to see the mission through.

In this chapter we introduce another agent of our casualties—the false self and how it is the primary culprit that gets in the way of a man’s journey to being more rather than doing more.

There is a reason so few men know and live with the ingredients needed in being a Beloved Son. I hope you and I can stir a curiosity among the men that leads to in- tentional investigation and a hopeful heart that they will carry into the weeks ahead.
