No More Church Boys: Training Up Boys to be Men of God

As I was purging some of The Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy's class footage this morning, I came across this good discussion I had with one of my 6-9 year old rite of passage groups regarding being a "tree" that produces good fruit. I decided to share this with you all, especially parents because in today's times it's imperative that our children are trained up in a way that they will produce God's power instead of playing the "church boy" role (i.e. playing church instead of being the church). #SavingBoys

We'll wear a cross on our necks but won't wear a cross on our backs.... man that hit home.

[@a.krishna3924]

Maan, combining martial arts and bible study! Never seen something like it, should be more because Christianity is all about the good fight. I'm a girl, I used to do martial arts, I know the target for this Cave313 is boys, but I wish there would be classes like this for girls too. I too have a persistent kind of temptation, and God has been training me to battle. I think the physical training aspect of this really helps the mentality. Sometimes we forget how intense the battle is. I have to think like a warrior.

@Thieving Americanos There are other countries in the world…

[@freesmoke7357]

@Thieving Americanos If I’m registering what your saying correctly about freedom drones and democracy bombs, if we are gonna talk about america and war then let’s call a spade a spade. I am blessed to live a country that has the freedoms that it has. At the same time this country goes to war for unjust means. Also, we get into other countries business when we need to fix our own.

[@freesmoke7357]

@Thieving Americanos Oh, so, if my country has no kind of democracy, I guess yours does huh?

[@freesmoke7357]

@Thieving Americanos since we on my countries democracy, let’s talk about your countries democracy and see how it compares.

[@freesmoke7357]

@Thieving Americanos America ain’t perfect, but it’s my country of origin, and I’m all for the people. The last time I checked, there are other countries thieving in some kind of way. If they are not stealing minerals from Africa or resources from other countries, then there stealing from it’s own people. And since you talkin about my country, let’s call a spade a spade and talk about yours.

Bro calling the lord by his name is very important to me. I thank you for that.

[@dariodimarziasalvatore971]

The thought of carrying the cross on the neck but not on the back cuts deep

[@terrillgasque1736]

Salute to you my brother for how you are honoring The Most High Yah, by teaching these young men to be our future leaders one day! May the Most High continue to bless you and your family.

"Why did you submit to your flesh?" - Powerful for their age.

[@Heartcoachtalk]

Mr. Wilson, you are a preacher, your “church” might look different, but you’re definitely leading His sheep🙏🏾❤️👑

[@anthonygolden3685]

Thank you for your service all men and boys need to here and see the work all of you are doing god bless yall and keep up the good fight

[@marwinreeves164]

Beautiful truth expressed so that a child can understand. Love the expression “No More Church Boys!” That is so true. Raising boys who talk church but don’t live the church. I was one of them as a result of not knowing how to handle a serious trauma. I’ve come a long way but adding these tools will help me to help others. Sincere love for you beautiful brother.

[@Alvin-dg9pq]

If I had this growing up I'd be a super hero like this king is.

[@kidprodige1]

Thank you so much for this. It's so beautiful!

[@satuhogosha]

[@sharnicemccord640]

Yah bless

[@guangarmy9246]

Yo this like Afro Samurai but in real life !

[@fokana1]

Wish I could find a mentor like that in my city for my kids or be better at being one myself

[@13mochoa]

I want to get my son involved in a program like this, do you have any recommendations in the Chicago area?

[@wolverine89893]

If they made churches into Dojo's, there would be a lot of strong Christians living and using the word of GOD in there own lives as well as help others 😲

[@diegopacheco3314]

Combineing martial arts and bible study means these kids will be warrior boys of gods

[@gloria5332]

That tree allegory could so easily be used for transphobia and i got scared as hell, then i remembered who this is and what a relief seeing it wasn't used for that

[@matthewlopez8521]

Btw he’s teaching them to believe in the one true God: In English we call Him- The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He’s using the beautiful original language but he’s describing the Christian God. Not Jewish or Muslim.

[@nevaehlheaven]

I think that's why it resonates. He's talking about our God and not other people or religions. He's talking about Jesus, the son of God, he's teaching them how to be faithful to their wife and to be disciplined in the lord. I find it truly righteous because of the fact that it is following the Bible.

[@Fyerex]

can someone explain this to me

[@Cave313]

Where do you need clarity my friend?

[@biancaverdeschi880]

Which Christian denomination is this school? They use names like Yeshua and Adonai in Hebrew..

[@celestin1078]

Sir, I've a doubt. This school emphasizes on training the mind so that one can fight the battle in the mind or to engage in fight with someone who brings distress to us and fight them using the name of Jesus. I'm not making an argument here sir....but this is my critical doubt I've always had.

[@BoredT-Rex]

Real "men" don't fight. Hence, turn the other cheek.

[@Marfilla]

I love the work this mas does, but I doesn’t need to be related to religion. It can be just teaching human values for peace without the need to teach myths. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Bossin1Secondpage]

But yet two commandments are not to have a bald head and grow your beard. We have to do those too elder.

[@naturereporter2719]

A bad joke.
