TNMU #197: Death and Rebirth as a Man (Part 1)

Vision quest, transitional space, death and rebirth, these words seem foreign, mystical even. They are certainly not the everyday vocabulary of a man. In sharing his own story, today’s guest, Andrew Boscaljon, is inviting men to reconsider and rediscover these themes. Join us as we explore these ideas together and connect them directly to the process of becoming a healthy and godly man.   Music Credit: "Funkorama" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)   Expanded Notes: The path to the Vision Quest started 5-6 years earlier Thru studying Native American rites and rituals, a desire formed to find a wilderness experience What did Andrew find in the wilderness? Ongoing communication with Jesus Experience of true humility (an ego break) Gaining vision for what’s next Understanding how to have healthy relationship boundaries Often, when we’re looking for God he’s hard to find, and when we’re not he’s right there We are being rendered down, being perfected by Father Starving for love as a teen, Andrew heard the words of love but did not feel them This need prompted a quest to feel love, in music or friend’s home’s or saying “I love you” first Inherited passivity must be acknowledged and overcome
