Oh my goodness Derek – how wonderful. I admire you even more. How can you drive this across our country? What a very special gift.

Thank you. It’s great to be “called” into our healthy masculinity by the leaders of the program to do this work. There was one boy who’s father was in prison and the boy was carrying his father’s shame and was completely shutdown and acting out. It took me all weekend to get through his walls, gently tapping with love, humor and firmness and friendliness. Until he finally open up to me, willing to let go of this shame that was not his to carry. That was when I knew God was putting in the right place, at the right time.

This is profoundly beautiful work you’re doing, Derek. I bow to your beautiful heart, and your willingness to open it and share it with young boys so they can know what that looks like. You are not only healing individuals; you are healing their families in the future. As they change, others will learn from them and change too. Thank you for this beautiful gift to all humanity. Love to you and your team! Kate
