Phase 2 - Dad and son go home and work on these things (1-7) together.
Phase 3 - Come back to another FYR Team and Dad testifies how God has worked in his son on 1-7:
1. Ceremony with Dad where the son completes a more difficult task or assignment (their dad and the other men come up with it pertaining to challenging them in their identity and gifting)
2. Once they complete the hard task they are then ready to be declared a man of God by their dad and the other men in the group.
3. Their dad then blesses them with the laying on of hands (with the other men) and a Father’s Blessing. He then knights them as a man of God with a sword that they keep and can hang up in their room.
