Episode Synopsis
There are three final stages in How to Grow as a Man of Faith Pt 2: the Lover Stage, the King Stage, and the Sage Stage.The Lover StageThe lover needs the warrior to act decisively and restrain his passions.The lover stage (the 20s to 30s) is the awakening of the heart. This could manifest as a love of poetry, nature, music…and eventually romance.This is the stage in which men learn how to love themselves by loving others.

He protects his realm and serves his community.Read the entire articleLet John know what you think!Be sure to check out my website www.johnthurman.net Facebook Link Free Stress Management Tip Sheet
