I mean, if you start with that, most young boys aren\u2019t growing up, thinking, \u201cI need to guard my heart.\u201d Proverbs 4:23 is the verse that we all know that says we are to guard our hearts; but most boys are thinking, \u201cMy heart\u2019s fine\u201d; aren\u2019t they?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> That verse is not on the radar of most teenage boys, but it <em>needs<\/em> to be.

[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Well, here\u2019s the difference in girls and boys. I think girls generally are more emotional \/ more drama. All that is hard to navigate; yes. We can kind of fall back to: \u201cBoys are easier.\u201d <em>But<\/em> given some of the issues we\u2019ve talked about and written about in this book, I think there are some issues related to our boys that are neglected\u2014we think: \u201cThat\u2019s not a big deal,\u201d because it\u2019s not up on the radar \/ in your face like our girls\u2019 drama sometimes is. We can think it\u2019s not a big deal or going to impact their lives; but it\u2019s <em>simmering<\/em> beneath the surface, potentially derailing their lives in big ways.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Okay; let\u2019s go through those three that you outlined. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> First one: \u201cGuard Your Heart.\u201d You have three chapters on this in your book: \u201cTake Control of Your Thought Life\u201d\u2014that\u2019s a big one. Number two: \u201cProtect Your Eyes\u201d\u2014 the eye gate. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNumber three: \u201cManage Your Selfishness.\u201d You\u2019re going for the juggler vein on all three of these.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> I think the \u201cGuarding Your Heart\u201d starts in your thoughts and what our guys think about. We want to encourage our young men to have thoughts that are pure and honoring to God. In our culture we live in, there is a lot of temptations to get their mind derailed from that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGuarding their eyes takes diligence, and takes attention and discipline <em>every<\/em> moment of every day. There are so many opportunities for young men to expose their eyes to things they don\u2019t need to see. With me and my sons, we had a \u201cbirds and the bees\u201d conversation at nine or ten years old. Within three minutes of that conversation, I was saying to my ten-year-old son: \u201cHey son, there is a ginormous, and big, and profitable industry out there designed to show people doing this; and it is not for you. I want you to have a negative view of it, because it will potentially mess up your life in some big ways. So here is where we\u2019re going to guard our eyes and be careful what we see and make wise choices along those lines.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> The Bible tells us that we are to master the art of taking our thoughts captive\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Indeed.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014and this is something that we <em>can<\/em> teach our children what to do. When a thought pops into your head, it is not in control of you. You must learn to be in control of it. In fact, Colossians 3 says you\u2019re to set your mind on things that are above and not on things that are on earth. I remember talking to my kids and saying: \u201cYou know how we set the radio on a particular station? We set it by tuning to the station we want to listen to.\u201d I say: \u201cIn the same way, you can set your mind. You can tune it to the station you want to be listening to rather than just saying: \u2018Oh, this popped into my head. Let\u2019s see where this takes me.\u2019\u201d That\u2019s how we take thoughts captive; isn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Well, throughout our book, chapter by chapter, we use David as a great illustration of an awesome man. We know from studying David that we would consider him a man after God\u2019s own heart and a guy that we can model. We can also see him as a flawed man. He made some really boneheaded decisions in his journey that we can learn from. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne thing we can learn about David in guarding our eyes is his experience with Bathsheba. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe was on a rooftop\u2014he saw a woman taking a bath, and he began to lust. He stepped out farther. He drew the woman to himself\u2014ended up having sex with her \/ murdering her husband\u2014the story goes on. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe tell young men and coach young men in this book, saying: \u201cJust like David was a king\u2014he had authority over all things\u2014son\/young man, you are the king of your technology\u2014of your smartphone \/ of your computer. David, when he saw Bathsheba, could have said: \u2018Hey, we\u2019re going to have a new rule in the kingdom that says no more bathing naked on your rooftop,\u2019\u201d\u2014that would have been a reality. Every young man has a choice\u2014to your point Bob\u2014to say: \u201cI\u2019m going to choose to put a filter on my machine, because I can choose to tell my phone what to do \/ put a filter on my phone that provides accountability and some safety for me\u2014what I can and cannot see.\u201d So, again: \u201cDavid was the king of his kingdom. Young man, you\u2019re the king of your phone. You tell it where to go, and it will do what you tell it to do.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, would you challenge dads to put a filter on their son\u2019s phone and make the decision for them, or give the choice to the young man?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Dennis, I think that a parent or a family, who do not have some kind of filter or monitoring on their technology, is missing a big gap in this day-and-age parenting. Now, that filtering process is great when your kids are young children \/ middle schoolers. I think, as your kids move into high school, you need to transition away from blocking everything with a filter to more of accountability-type software that you can give your kids free reign\u2014but know: \u201cHey, I\u2019m watching over your shoulder,\u201d and \u201cIf you go someplace you don\u2019t need to go, we\u2019re going to talk about it.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You know, Bob was talking about the pets\u2014you believe in this point: \u201cYou need to feed the good dog not the bad dog.\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> You know, I learned that from Gary Rosberg. He says that there\u2019s two dogs in every man \/ in every teenage boy\u2014a good dog and a bad dog. The one that you feed is the one that lives. The Scripture calls that: \u201c\u2026this battle between the spirit and the flesh.\u201d Our flesh\u2014it wants to go places it doesn\u2019t need to go.

Stop liking that girl,\u201d\u2014then, it has a tendency to go even deeper underground, like your kids maybe did\u2014like our kids have perhaps done, at certain points, along the journey. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut the encouragement is to give your kids a better picture of what a mature, healthy relationship looks like\u2014help them understand, maybe, \u201cAm I ready for this or not?\u201d Most kids, if you walk them through what it looks like to be in a healthy marriage, down the road, they\u2019ll begin to realize, \u201cI\u2019m not at all ready for that.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnother big question I encourage dads to ask their sons they talk with and their daughters\u2014but to their kids\u2014they talk through these issues.

This is for the church: \u201cThis is a <em>great<\/em> moment for the church to push back against the culture in a positive way, without pointing a finger saying, \u2018No,\u2019 \u2018No,\u2019 \u2018No,\u2019 \u2018No,\u2019 \u2018No.\u2019 Instead, make it positive: \u2018Guard!\u2019\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes; one of the things we\u2019ve encouraged a lot of dads to do, over the years, is to get away with a son or a daughter before adolescence kicks in and start preparing them for what\u2019s coming up in adolescence\u2014\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>21:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014 go through the <em>Passport2Purity<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. Get away with your son\u2014or a mom can do it with the daughter\u2014and start preparing them for what\u2019s ahead in the area of peer pressure, and relationships, and dating, and how you handle all of that. It\u2019s a good time for a refresher about the birds and the bees too. I mean, that\u2018s part of what\u2019s going on in that getaway time with a father and a son. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tRecently, we\u2019ve created a follow-up to that\u2014that\u2019s for parents of 14- and 15-year olds\u2014where a dad can get away with a son, or a mom with a daughter, and go through what we call <em>Passport2Identity<\/em>\u2122\u2014where, once again, you\u2019re visiting some of these same themes\u2014but you\u2019re talking with your son \/ or a mom with a daughter about: \u201cWhat are you good at? What\u2019s your mission? What did God design you to do for His kingdom?\u201d It\u2019s really a great getaway time.

I mean, if you start with that, most young boys aren\u2019t growing up, thinking, \u201cI need to guard my heart.\u201d Proverbs 4:23 is the verse that we all know that says we are to guard our hearts; but most boys are thinking, \u201cMy heart\u2019s fine\u201d; aren\u2019t they?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> That verse is not on the radar of most teenage boys, but it <em>needs<\/em> to be.

[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Well, here\u2019s the difference in girls and boys. I think girls generally are more emotional \/ more drama. All that is hard to navigate; yes. We can kind of fall back to: \u201cBoys are easier.\u201d <em>But<\/em> given some of the issues we\u2019ve talked about and written about in this book, I think there are some issues related to our boys that are neglected\u2014we think: \u201cThat\u2019s not a big deal,\u201d because it\u2019s not up on the radar \/ in your face like our girls\u2019 drama sometimes is. We can think it\u2019s not a big deal or going to impact their lives; but it\u2019s <em>simmering<\/em> beneath the surface, potentially derailing their lives in big ways.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Okay; let\u2019s go through those three that you outlined. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> First one: \u201cGuard Your Heart.\u201d You have three chapters on this in your book: \u201cTake Control of Your Thought Life\u201d\u2014that\u2019s a big one. Number two: \u201cProtect Your Eyes\u201d\u2014 the eye gate. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNumber three: \u201cManage Your Selfishness.\u201d You\u2019re going for the juggler vein on all three of these.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> I think the \u201cGuarding Your Heart\u201d starts in your thoughts and what our guys think about. We want to encourage our young men to have thoughts that are pure and honoring to God. In our culture we live in, there is a lot of temptations to get their mind derailed from that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGuarding their eyes takes diligence, and takes attention and discipline <em>every<\/em> moment of every day. There are so many opportunities for young men to expose their eyes to things they don\u2019t need to see. With me and my sons, we had a \u201cbirds and the bees\u201d conversation at nine or ten years old. Within three minutes of that conversation, I was saying to my ten-year-old son: \u201cHey son, there is a ginormous, and big, and profitable industry out there designed to show people doing this; and it is not for you. I want you to have a negative view of it, because it will potentially mess up your life in some big ways. So here is where we\u2019re going to guard our eyes and be careful what we see and make wise choices along those lines.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> The Bible tells us that we are to master the art of taking our thoughts captive\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Indeed.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014and this is something that we <em>can<\/em> teach our children what to do. When a thought pops into your head, it is not in control of you. You must learn to be in control of it. In fact, Colossians 3 says you\u2019re to set your mind on things that are above and not on things that are on earth. I remember talking to my kids and saying: \u201cYou know how we set the radio on a particular station? We set it by tuning to the station we want to listen to.\u201d I say: \u201cIn the same way, you can set your mind. You can tune it to the station you want to be listening to rather than just saying: \u2018Oh, this popped into my head. Let\u2019s see where this takes me.\u2019\u201d That\u2019s how we take thoughts captive; isn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Well, throughout our book, chapter by chapter, we use David as a great illustration of an awesome man. We know from studying David that we would consider him a man after God\u2019s own heart and a guy that we can model. We can also see him as a flawed man. He made some really boneheaded decisions in his journey that we can learn from. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne thing we can learn about David in guarding our eyes is his experience with Bathsheba. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe was on a rooftop\u2014he saw a woman taking a bath, and he began to lust. He stepped out farther. He drew the woman to himself\u2014ended up having sex with her \/ murdering her husband\u2014the story goes on. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe tell young men and coach young men in this book, saying: \u201cJust like David was a king\u2014he had authority over all things\u2014son\/young man, you are the king of your technology\u2014of your smartphone \/ of your computer. David, when he saw Bathsheba, could have said: \u2018Hey, we\u2019re going to have a new rule in the kingdom that says no more bathing naked on your rooftop,\u2019\u201d\u2014that would have been a reality. Every young man has a choice\u2014to your point Bob\u2014to say: \u201cI\u2019m going to choose to put a filter on my machine, because I can choose to tell my phone what to do \/ put a filter on my phone that provides accountability and some safety for me\u2014what I can and cannot see.\u201d So, again: \u201cDavid was the king of his kingdom. Young man, you\u2019re the king of your phone. You tell it where to go, and it will do what you tell it to do.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, would you challenge dads to put a filter on their son\u2019s phone and make the decision for them, or give the choice to the young man?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> Dennis, I think that a parent or a family, who do not have some kind of filter or monitoring on their technology, is missing a big gap in this day-and-age parenting. Now, that filtering process is great when your kids are young children \/ middle schoolers. I think, as your kids move into high school, you need to transition away from blocking everything with a filter to more of accountability-type software that you can give your kids free reign\u2014but know: \u201cHey, I\u2019m watching over your shoulder,\u201d and \u201cIf you go someplace you don\u2019t need to go, we\u2019re going to talk about it.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You know, Bob was talking about the pets\u2014you believe in this point: \u201cYou need to feed the good dog not the bad dog.\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> You know, I learned that from Gary Rosberg. He says that there\u2019s two dogs in every man \/ in every teenage boy\u2014a good dog and a bad dog. The one that you feed is the one that lives. The Scripture calls that: \u201c\u2026this battle between the spirit and the flesh.\u201d Our flesh\u2014it wants to go places it doesn\u2019t need to go. But if we feed the spirit\u2014God\u2019s presence in our life as we walk with Him \/ as we renew our mind with Truth\u2014all those things\u2014we feed that good dog, and the bad dog loses power in our lives.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So, you quote Marcus Aurelius in your book. Do you remember what he said?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> I think he said: \u201cIf our thoughts become our life\u2026\u201d\u2014remind me Dennis.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> That\u2019s right\u2014pretty much it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barrett:<\/strong> So, what you think about becomes who you are. The illustration in that book that we gave is\u2014it\u2019s like walking to Carlsbad Caverns.

Stop liking that girl,\u201d\u2014then, it has a tendency to go even deeper underground, like your kids maybe did\u2014like our kids have perhaps done, at certain points, along the journey. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut the encouragement is to give your kids a better picture of what a mature, healthy relationship looks like\u2014help them understand, maybe, \u201cAm I ready for this or not?\u201d Most kids, if you walk them through what it looks like to be in a healthy marriage, down the road, they\u2019ll begin to realize, \u201cI\u2019m not at all ready for that.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnother big question I encourage dads to ask their sons they talk with and their daughters\u2014but to their kids\u2014they talk through these issues. The point of life is not to look for good things and bad things. The question of figuring out the things of your life is not: \u201cIs this a good thing or a bad thing?\u201d because, again, my 16-year-old could say: \u201cIs this a good thing?\u201d\u2014\u201cYes; it\u2019s a good thing.\u201d \u201cIs this a bad thing?\u201d\u2014\u201cYes; it\u2019s a bad thing,\u201d\u2014whatever. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tA <em>better<\/em> question to ask is: \u201cLet\u2019s recognize the purpose of our lives is to walk in a relationship with God\u2014to glorify Him with our lives \/ to know Him and make Him know.

That can drive how you treat your mother, and your sisters, and all the women in your life, even as a young man; but it also drives how you begin to date. Guarding and protecting the women in your life, including a girlfriend you might pursue, involves keeping that relationship sexually pure and keeping it above ground. If you\u2019re not able to do that, then you\u2019re not ready in a relationship.
