Fund-Raising

It’s a little ironic that has taken us 65 episodes to get this topic. You could argue it should’ve been the first one we ever recorded, because spiritual life is our top priority — the reason we do anything at Whetstone. Then again, if you’ve listened to the previous 65 episodes, you know we’ve been talking about it all along. Faith is the “why” underneath everything here, and it’s never something we want to compartmentalize.

Yes, we have the staples — regular chapel, Sunday church, Bible study built into the week. But the real work happens in the margins: in mentoring, on work days, during silent walks through God’s creation. A boys’ character is sharpened slowly through consistency and care. We try to live that old Francis of Assisi line: preach the gospel always, and use words only when necessary.

Join us this week on A Time to Sharpen as we talk what we do at Whetstone to till the soil of the heart.

Running a boys ranch means we spend a lot of time talking about manhood—but you can’t really understand boys without talking about girls.

God made us different on purpose. Not to compete but to complement. Because becoming a man isn’t just about how you carry yourself—it’s about how you treat the people God made different from you.
