While the Cowboy might need some help along the way, this is largely an internal journey. Unfortunately, many never transition out of the loneliness of this stage. No man fights a war alone; battles yes, but the war involves all men. The Warrior life releases the Cowboy to be part of something larger and more significant. The Warrior learns to lead others with faithfulness, hope, and courage.
