About this listen

What does power and responsibility look like for Christian men in our world today? Becoming a King offers men a guide to becoming one to whom God can entrust his kingdom.

Journey with Morgan Snyder as he walks alongside men (and the women who love and encourage them) to rediscover the path of inner transformation. Becoming a King is an invitation into a radical reconstruction of much of what we’ve come to believe about God, masculinity, and the meaning of life.

Curated and distilled over more than two decades and drawn from the lives of more than seventy-five men, Morgan shares his discovery of an ancient and reliable path to restoring and becoming the kind of man who can wield power for good. With examples from the lives of the great heroes of faith as well as wise men from Morgan’s own life, break through doubt and discover the power of restoration.

In Becoming a King, you will:

  • Reconstruct your understanding of masculinity and who God truly intended you to be
  • Learn to become a man of unshakable strength and courage
  • Reclaim your identity, integrity, and purpose

Traveling this path isn’t easy. But the heroic journey detailed within the pages of Becoming a King leads to real life—to men becoming as solid and mighty as oak trees, teeming with strength and courage to bring healing to a hurting world; and to sons, husbands, brothers, and friends becoming the kind of kings to whom God can entrust his kingdom.

Audiobook-exclusive content includes: Extended prayers, additional reflections, and a conversation you won’t want to miss. Morgan Snyder gathered three of his closest allies who have all lived, breathed, and consented to the message of Becoming a King for over a decade. Hear their stories and lock arms with them in the unshakeable hope that more life, strength, and joy are available than we have been led to believe.

Critic Reviews

'Becoming a King is a rare and essential invitation to living true and becoming a man God can entrust with more. Though Morgan is younger than me, words could never describe how I've been mentored by him for more than a decade. He's one I'd take a bullet for. What I've gained from this book is priceless and has already impacted me and generations to come. Every man, and every woman who loves him, needs this message.'
'For the rare few willing to enter into the quiet places of the soul, Becoming a King will prove to be one of the most radical, reorienting, and encouraging books you will ever read.'
'I love this book. It engages the deep matters of the heart. It is a book for men, but be warned. It is as much a book for women to understand what it truly means to grow as a man and to love a woman. Morgan awakens in me the hunger to keep moving forward with hope. His call to kingship will unnerve your complacency while calling forth the best of your heart to take on what is truly yours and to throw down what is not. This is a life-shaping journey into the heart of the Father.'
'I work with numerous men who are just now becoming kings and have been looking for a resource to use to come alongside them. I am profoundly grateful that Morgan Snyder, who truly knows this topic, has just handed me the tool I need!'
'I'm always reluctant to write blurbs for book, and I didn't want to write an endorsement for Becoming a King--but then I read it. It's not sanctimonious advice written by somebody who's never had his knuckles bloody or his hands dirty or his heart broken; it's the honest account of a man who's been where every man needs to go sooner or later. I don't like to sign my name to things that don't matter. This matters.'
'If there is one book that you read this year on growing deeply as a man, this is it! I recommend not only Morgan's book but Morgan himself. You can no longer say, 'I don't know where to begin.' It begins with this book.'
'Morgan Snyder has taken the journey that he so compellingly invites other men to embark on in his beautifully written and wisdom-filled book. Courageously honest and true, Becoming a King is a worthy read that you will come back to time and time again and, as Morgan expresses so well, a noble calling to pursue. As a woman reading Becoming a King, I was inspired with how to better come alongside the men in my life, to lovingly encourage them in their lives' ultimate calling.'
'Morgan Snyder simply asks better questions. His pursuit of the root system of manhood, fatherhood, and royalty brings us within reach of deep truths that could help us outlast the modern brutal storm. This book is for the soul-hungry, sick-of-the-BS reader, which is why I love it. And Morgan picks a much better fight than you'd find in any ring in Vegas or any back-alley bar. His fight is for his own heart.'

A great book full of wisdom and challenges.

Strongly recommend for men looking for answers … you’re lost, you think there is more to life or you can’t work out why you keep failing. Why does there seem to be a ceiling to your life? Because my friend … your foundation doesn’t allow for a taller building.

This book will improve your foundation
Enjoy

From 20 years of sitting at the feet of elders, Morgan faithfully distills the wisdom he has gathered and delivers it in a beautifully romancing way, developing a framework for the restoration of the masculine soul. Both practical and soul orienting, each chapter is an alluring invitation back to the narrow path to become the kind of man that can be entrusted with power in God's Kingdom.

This book has been a faithful guide for the past year and I couldn't recommend it more highly. It is a deep, rich well. Meditate on it, read and reread, and implement it in your life and day-by-day you will find yourself slowly being restored to the man God made you to be. This has been my experience so far.
