YOUR BOY'S JOURNEY TO BECOME A MAN

The Flight Plan Series offers boys and young men a definition and vision of manhood that can help them to make wise choices during their teenage years and beyond. It frankly and authentically discusses a number of issues they will face, including friendships and peer pressure, drinking and drugs, girls and dating, puberty and sex, and school and family relationships.

What does it mean to be a man?

Too many boys are growing up without knowing what manhood really means. With clear, candid teaching, the Flight Plan series explains what true manhood is and what it looks like in a boy’s daily life—addressing peer pressure, puberty, grades, dating, and much more.

Flight Plan is packed with biblical principles and practical advice on what it means to follow God as a pre-teen, a teenager, and a man. To help you make the most of the Flight Plan books, you can also download a discussion guide. The free PDF includes key verses, discussion questions, and suggested activities to help your son or student think through Flight Plan and live it out.

The Seven Virtues of Manhood

At PDS, we want every boy to learn what it really means to be a man. That’s why we wrote The 7 Virtues of Manhood, which walks boys through each of the virtues and shows them what the virtues look like in daily life — at school, with friends, at home, and with God.

Flight Plan - Your Mission to Become a Man

To equip boys as they grow into men, PDS spent the past 20 years developing Flight Plan, a clear, candid guidebook that unpacks what godly manhood is and what it looks like in daily life — in peer pressure, puberty, grades, dating, and more.

Building Boys with Spiritual Habits

Train Your Boys to be Real Men – Men of God

At PDS, we love boys. In fact, it’s our mission to glorify God by developing boys in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man (1 Corinthians 10:31 and Luke 2:52). We teach boys that real wisdom, stature, and favor come from knowing and following God. And, we have learned over the years that while PDS and the local church play an important part in the development of a boy’s spiritual development, the most impactful place for spiritual development is the home.
