Welcome back to the recap of Authentic Manhood looking at our role as a man by looking at the 33 years Jesus lived on earth. This session is about our Moms and the influence she has/has on our lives. Our Moms have shaped our worldview. Dr Henry Cloud says it this way in The Mom Factor. The way your mom “has handled your needs as a child has shaped your worldview, your relationships, your marriage, your career, your self image, your life. What we learned in our relationship with our mother deeply affects every area or our adult life.”

That being said thought, we need to break from Mom to become a man, an authentic man. That doesn’t mean stop talking to her, or stop seeing her, what we need is proper boundaries to continue to love and respect Mom, but continue to grow into the man God wants you to be.

How to develope a plan to overcome the mother wound:

  • Address specific issues - Don’t be vague or General
  • Establish boundaries for future interactions - Draw time tested boundaries that dictate how both of you will interact.
  • Spell out clear consequences for violating boundaries - Let her know the cost of crossing established boundaries.

In high school, my mom used to listen to a 10 minute devotional before the bus came. If we heard Robert Cook saying, "Walk with the king today and be a blessing." we knew we were running late.
