#938: Are We There Yet?

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/07/10

While on a road trip, have your kids ever whined, “Are we there yet?” When the journey is long, we grow impatient. We want to arrive at the destination as fast as possible. And if roadblocks make us veer off course, we grow frustrated. Sometimes even angry. The same is true in the parenting journey. Our children are maturing socially, mentally, and spiritually—but sometimes not as fast as we’d like. We want them to develop responsibility as quickly as possible, but then we grow impatient w...

#937: A World of Difference

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/07/09

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 25% of American kids live without a father or father-like figure in their homes. You heard that right. On average, 1 out of every 4 kids doesn’t have a dad to give them piggyback rides, help them with homework, or tuck them into bed at night. That’s tragic! If you have the privilege of being a dad, make sure to be there for your kids. Don’t just live in your house. Make that house a home where smiles abound, and laughter is loud. And if you know a boy w...

#936: Handicaps

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/07/08

When your son was young, did he ever point at someone in a wheelchair? Do your older kids whisper about the new kid who stutters or has a deformity? Teach your kids never to make fun of someone with a handicap. Because we live in a sin-cursed world where physical and mental handicaps exist, these handicaps make life really hard for these people. As Christians, we can’t make those handicaps go away, but we can show courtesy and compassion. Teach your son to hold the door open for someone in...

#935: Fake and Phony

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/07/07

Are you a fraud? Do you act one way at home and another way at church? More than ever, teenagers connect with people who are authentic in their motives and genuine in their behavior. As a parent, your son sees you at your best, but also at your worst. When you realize that you aren’t displaying the attitude and actions of a Christ-follower, the most difficult—and yet most meaningful—thing you can do is admit your faults. Explain to your son that shouting or losing your temper wasn’t the ri...

#934: Freedom Isn't Free

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/07/04

The land of the free and the home of the brave. What a great country we live in. The freedom we get to experience here in America was not cheap to attain. Many people gave all for the liberty we have. Jesus also gave everything for us to be free. The salvation He provided by dying on the cross is free, but it isn’t cheap. He paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. John 8:36 says this, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Take time this Independence Day to remember ...

#933: The Greatest Nickname

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/07/03

Does your son have a nickname? Many kids do. Some nicknames like Ace or Champ are fun and cute, while others like Rooster, Zippy, and Waffle usually come from some hilarious event or personality trait. Nicknames are common, but there’s a nickname that only your son can call you. That’s the exclusive name of Dad. It isn’t by accident that God gave you to your son, and your son to you. In his all-knowing wisdom, God placed you both together. As a dad, you have the responsibility of raising ...

#932: Set an Eggs-Ample

2025/07/02

How do you like your eggs prepared? Scrambled and sunny side up are the most popular, but some people like them hard boiled or over easy. Just as there are many ways to cook an egg, there are also many ways to discipline your son to correct wrong behavior. Of course, you wish discipline were never necessary, but that’s an unreasonable eggs-pectation. When your son blatantly disobeys, don’t let his behavior eggs-asperate you. Set an eggs-ample by remaining calm. During these difficult moment...

#931: Age and Stage

2025/07/01

If you have a kindergartener, have you taught him to drive yet? If you have a teenage son, are you giving him tummy time? Of course not, but in the busyness of everyday life, you might forget where your youngest and oldest children are in their developmental process. Understanding the specific age and stage of each child is vital in seeing where he’s come from … and where he still needs to go. So, if you’re treating your kindergartener like a teenager, or your teenager like a toddler, reev...

#930: In the Blink of an Eye

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/30

The human eye is incredible! Even though it has over two million working parts, it’s the fastest muscle in the body. It also distinguishes millions of colors. And yet, our eyes often miss what’s most important in life. When your son is on the soccer field, are you watching, or are you scrolling through social media on your phone? Can you detect when your son is frustrated, or do you not even notice? To connect emotionally with your son, begin by turning your eyes upon Jesus. When you do thi...

#929: Help Wanted

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/27

When you have a problem, do you usually ask for help or try to figure things out on your own? One hindrance to the power of God in our lives is our unwillingness to reach out to him for help and trust him to meet our needs. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7 We limit what God wants to do for us when we don’t trust him to meet our needs. What if we put our complete trust in God for everything we need? He wants to t...

#928: Healthy Fear

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/26

When have you felt a “healthy fear”? While working with electricity, you should have a “healthy fear” of its power and take the proper safety precautions. The Bible talks about having a “healthy fear” of the Lord. The all-powerful and all-loving Creator of the universe fully deserves our fear and respect. Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Fearing God gives us the foundation to face all our other fears. When you or your child is afraid, ask God to a...

#927: Guard Your Heart

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/25

What does it mean to “guard your heart”? Proverbs 4:23 says, “Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.” This proverb is written by a father to his son, but the instructions apply to everyone — no matter their age. Your heart is the source of your thoughts and feelings. Guarding your heart requires keeping your focus on the things of God. So many things in our world can pull our hearts away from being focused on God. Remember Philippians 4:8 and “fix your thoughts on w...

#926: Finding Purpose in Suffering

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/24

Does anyone like to suffer? The apostle Paul knew a lot about suffering. He suffered beatings, imprisonments, and shipwrecks. In Colossians 1:24, Paul said he “rejoiced” in his sufferings. What? How could he rejoice in suffering? Because God used it to advance the gospel. Paul also pointed out that suffering strengthens our perseverance, character, and hope. Most of us have little experience with real suffering. We don’t even like minor inconveniences like waiting in a long line. No matter yo...

#925: Divine Appointments

2025/06/23

Have you ever had a divine encounter with someone who came into your life at just the right time, and you knew it was a “God thing”? I heard about a family that had a flat tire at Christmastime. They pulled into the closest repair shop they could find. The technician who came out to help them was named “Emmanuel.” He agreed to fix the flat even though the shop had just closed. Every Christmas, this family tells their “Emmanuel” story as a reminder that God is always with us. God orchestrate...

#924: Comparison Game

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/20

Do you find yourself playing the comparison game, comparing yourself to others? If so, you need to remind yourself of this truth: You are created uniquely by God — “fearfully and wonderfully made.” There isn’t another person in the world like you. It’s a message we share with our kids regularly but don’t apply to ourselves enough. When we fail to remember that God has created us uniquely and has a specific calling and purpose for our lives, we are tempted to compare ourselves to others....

#923: A Word to the Wise

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/19

Do the things you say build people up or tear them down? Our words have more power than we realize. Proverbs 15:4 says, “Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” King Solomon, who wrote much of Proverbs, points out the pain caused by our hurtful speech. Harsh words cut deeply, and their damage is long-lasting. On the other hand, Solomon also points out the power of our positive words. Most of us are not doctors, but our speech can heal and give life. It can...

#922: Love Your Neighbor

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/18

What’s love got to do with it? Well…quite a lot. Jesus spoke about love often and at one point was quoted as saying, “love your neighbor as yourself”, which was a reference from Leviticus 19:18. But how do we do that? There are many people who do not love themselves or see the value God has placed in them. How can we properly love others as ourselves when we despise ourselves? In order to love others well we must love who God has made us to be. Then we will have the confidence of the Father...

Have you ever ordered a product through Amazon Prime? If so, you’re not alone. Over 50% of American households have a Prime membership. From toys to tools, and from shoelaces to shampoo—people love Amazon because of the HUGE variety of items they sell. But there are some things you can’t buy at Amazon.com. You can’t buy your son a hug. You can’t order him a hearty laugh for $19.95. And you can’t purchase fun outdoor memories with him that will last a lifetime. Amazon sells over 12 millio...

#920: Hurt and Healing

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/16

Boys sometimes get hurt. That’s a fact. But when your son cuts a finger or scrapes a knee, what do you do? If the cut looks dirty, dabbing iodine on it will keep infection away. Even though the antiseptic stings, you know it’s for your son’s own good. You want him to heal. The same is true in parenting. At one point or another, you’ll have to correct your son when he lies, cusses, or misbehaves. Punishment is never a fun thing—for the child or for the parent—but it’s necessary for healing ...

#919: A Difficult Holiday

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/06/13

Father’s Day has been ranked towards the bottom in popularity among the top 15 national holidays. Why would that be? Father’s Day can be a difficult day for many people because of traumatic experiences we’ve had with our fathers. Dads play a very important role in the lives of their children and when you do not have that person in your life in a healthy way, it can affect you in many ways. One of the most important roles of a father is affirmation. Affirming your children, especially your s...
