HOME: Are Bar Mizvahs for Christians?

Steven Manuel sits down with his old good buddy Mark Douglass to discuss the coming of age celebrations Mark has thrown for each of his 4 children on their 13th birthdays. What is the historical “bar mitzvah” celebration and what is its usefulness to us today? How can you pull this off in a way that properly rings in a new era of freedom and responsibility to our children? What discussions should we be having with our adolescents?
