Native Impact Foundation

This morning we hosted yet another impactful session of the Ko Setlhareng Men's Breakfast, and we did things differently. There were no slides and no podium. It was an open discussion, with men sitting together and talking honestly about how we can love ourselves more and take better care of our mental health. Every man brought his own view, his own story and his own weight. We listened, we challenged each other and we learned.

It is fitting that this conversation happened on World Mental Health Day. Men are hurting quietly, and spaces like this remind us that we do not have to carry it alone. To every man who showed up and spoke up, thank you. Your honesty gave another man permission to be honest too. Monna, check on yourself, then check on your brother. See you at the next sitting, Ko Setlhareng.

Real men heal.
Brothers, we carry a lot. Quietly. For too long.This Saturday we sit under the tree and talk about it. Honestly. No masks. No judgement.

The Final Speech from the movie-*Courageous*
(Long read, but worth it)

As a law-enforcement officer, I’ve seen firsthand the deep hurt and devastation that fatherlessness brings in a child’s life. Our prisons are full of men and women who lived recklessly after being abandoned by their fathers, wounded by the men who should have loved them the most. Many now follow the same pattern of irresponsibility that their fathers did.

While so many mothers have sacrificed to help their children survive, they were never intended to carry the weight alone. We thank God for them.

But research is proving that a child also desperately needs a daddy. There’s no way around this fact. As you know, earlier this year, my family endured the tragic loss of our -year-old daughter, Emily. Her death forced me to realize that not only had I not taken advantage of the priceless time I had with her, but that I did not truly understand how crucial my role was as a father to her and our son, Dylan. Since her passing, I’ve asked God to show me, through his word how to be the father that I need to be.

I now believe that God desires for every father to courageously step up and do whatever it takes to be involved in the lives of his children. But more than just being there or providing for them, he’s to walk with them through their lives and be a visual representation of the character of God, their father in heaven.

A father should love his children and seek to win their hearts. He should protect them, discipline them and teach them about God.
He should model how to walk with integrity and treat others with respect and should call out his children to become responsible men and women who live their lives for what matters in eternity.

Some men will hear this and mock it or ignore it.

But I tell you that as a father, you are accountable to God for the position of influence he has given you.
You can’t fall asleep at the wheel only to wake up one day and realize that your job or your hobbies have no eternal value but the souls of your children do.

Some men will hear this and agree with it but have no resolve to live it out.
lnstead, they will live for themselves and waste the opportunity to leave a godly legacy for the next generation.

But there are some men who, regardless of the mistakes we’ve made in the past, regardless of what our fathers did not do for us, will give the strength of our arms and the rest of our days to loving God with all that we are and to teach our children to do the same, and, whenever possible, to love and mentor others who have no father in their lives but who desperately need help and direction.

We are inviting any man whose heart is willing and courageous to join us in this resolution.

In my home, the decision has already been made.

You don’t have to ask who will guide my family, because by God’s grace,
I will.

You don’t have to ask who will teach my children to follow Christ, because l will.

Who will accept the responsibility of providing and protecting my family? I will.

Who will ask God to break the chain of destructive patterns in my family’s history?
I will.

Who will pray for and bless my children to boldly pursue whatever God calls them to do?
I am their father. l will.

I accept this responsibility, and it is my privilege to embrace it.

I want the favor of God and his blessing on my home.

Any good man does.

So where are you, men of courage?
Where are you, fathers who fear the Lord?

It’s time to rise up and answer the call that God has given to you and to say, “I will. I will. I will.”

Our hearts go out to the families of the 9 women who have lost their lives in South Africa, and to the nation as a whole. 🕊️

May their lives be remembered, their families find strength, and their stories never be forgotten.

Another powerful edition of Ko-Setlhareng Men’s Breakfast Session done. 🌳☕

Pako Moshaga took us through “The Power of Self-Image: The Man You See is the Man You’ll Be.” We asked where our self-image really comes from, who told us that, and whether the source was even reliable.

The takeaway: if the source was flawed, the image is flawed. But a man can reconstruct it. Review it. Own your wins. Speak life over yourself. Sanitize your environment.

Honest conversations. Real community. That’s Ko-Setlhareng.

Thank you Treehaus - The Meeting Place and to every man who showed up.
