  • Whatever language you use to get your child’s attention can become who they believe they are
  • Old Testament era naming often had real meaning based on the circumstances surrounding the birth of the child
  • Even Father God changed the name we know him by as part of expanding how we know him; From El Shaddai to Yahweh to Jesus
  • How you refer to your son in his journey into manhood and after he arrives can be significantly powerful for him
    • What about how you refer to him around his friends or as he becomes a father?
  • How are you honoring, or dishonoring, your son by what you call him?
  • How can you be more intentional with names and nicknames in the process of raising a young man?
