The core problem of our nation is not political, economic or racial. We don’t need money, innovation, or technology. We have a famine of fathers. Look at any major issue today and a close examination reveals the absence of mature men taking action, serving as role models or calling out immature behavior.
Even problems like natural disasters need fathers. In 2024 we saw strangers act like next door neighbors to grab their chainsaws and shovels to spend days or even weeks serving western North Carolina. It’s usually family men, the kind who commit to marriage and child rearing, that clear their schedule at a moment’s notice and drive hours to face the emotional and physical toll of large-scale death and destruction.
To guide each generation to maturity, thriving societies train boys to steward their physical health. Great societies encourage youths to unleash their natural drive to achieve, compete, set and accomplish goals. Cultures that continue to thrive despite serving as somewhat outcast like the Amish and Jews, encourage young men to become productive and financially independent.
When American boys are told to behave in school, most examples are modeled on female behavior which at best produces compliance but doesn’t call out male potential. Yes, men are dangerous but so is gasoline. When explosive potential is given proper channels, order is produced instead of chaos. And unlike fuel, men don’t need confinement, we need a worldview of responsibility to things larger than ourselves. A valid understanding of history, community and ideals allows men to channel raw strength into construction and service.
And when men understand the incredible potential and responsibility of their sex drive, this most personal need helps forge lifelong commitment to women and the children they create together. Like teachers, good parents understand they must work themselves out of a job. Their truest success is handing the baton to the next generation to not depend on them. And that humble, sacrificing attitude is exactly what our culture has and always will need.
