#878: More Than a Story

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/17

As Easter approaches, what comes to mind? For many kids, Easter involves egg hunts, bunny-shaped chocolate, and goodie-filled baskets. But the real meaning of Easter is so much more than this. As a parent, don’t allow the commercialization of Easter to distract you from the true meaning of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice. Teach your son that the Easter story is more than a story. It’s the real-life account of Jesus sacrificially giving his life on the cross. Fortunately (and here’s the incre...

#877: Easter Decor

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/16

Ever thought about having your son help you decorate your home for Easter? We all decorate for Christmas. But as Christians, shouldn’t we show our boy that there’s just as much– if not more– to celebrate at Easter? Spend some time this year putting up some decorations representing Christs’ sacrifice. These don’t have to be fancy or expensive– display a cross, and frame a verse like Matthew 28:6- “He is not here, for He has risen!” If your son is young, put out some childrens’ bo...

#876: A Resurrected Life

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/15

This day celebrates the fact that Jesus is not dead, but is alive. This is what separates us from all other religions. Since Jesus has been resurrected, He offers a resurrected life to us. Romans 6:4 says, We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. This “newness of life” should be a way of life for all believers. Jesus took us who were dead because of sin, ...

#875: Easter Snack

2025/04/14

A surefire way to pique your son’s interest? A snack! Here’s a snack mix recipe to help you discuss the true meaning of Easter. Gather up the following: Pretzel sticks, to symbolize the cross; craisins, to represent Jesus’ blood; round crackers, for the stone that was rolled away; a marshmallow, since our sins are forgiven; Goldfish crackers, since Jesus said we should be fishers of men; and chocolate chips, because we taste and see the Lord is good. Sit down with your son, and disc...

#874: The Perfect Driver

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/11

Before GPS, did you ever come to a fork in the road and think, “Which way should I go?” Each of us eventually comes to a fork in the road – literally and figuratively – where we will have to decide which way to go. As Christ-followers, we have the perfect navigator in our lives. God knows what’s down each road we travel; nothing surprises him. If we are unsure which way to go, we can look to him, and he will guide us. He will provide for all our needs throughout life’s journeys. Let’s trus...

#873: Who Can I Trust

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/10

Have you ever trusted someone who let you down? Most of us have experienced this. Most of us have broken someone’s trust too. Yet, life requires you to trust others every day, often without thinking twice about it. The only One who will never let you down and is completely trustworthy is God. “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people.” Psalm 118:8 You must seek to trust and obey God and teach your son to do the same. “Heavenly Father, thank you for being trustwo...

#872: Carrying the Load

2025/04/09

With each step he took, the load felt heavier. Matthew was on a hike with a group of other boys when he realized his backpack was overloaded. He feared that if he asked for help, the other boys would make fun of him. Finally, he fell to his knees, and confessed he couldn’t carry his load. To his surprise, the boys took off Matthew’s backpack and distributed the heavy contents equally in their own bags. In a society where being a boy can feel like a burden, young men need help. Make sure...

#871: Just Fine

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/08

Your son needs a place to be a boy. In 2018, the Boy Scouts of America announced that they would allow girls to join. One scoutmaster was asked, “How do you like having girls a part of your troop?” The scoutmaster answered, “We love having girls because they are so much better behaved than boys!” That answer broke my heart. Society already deems boyhood and masculinity as something negative– and now an organization that was supposed to champion boys was also insinuating that boys should a...

#870:Taking the Heat

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/07

Fire is always destructive, right? Well, not necessarily. The knobcone pine tree relies on fire in a crazy way. In order for its seeds to escape the hard resin that traps them inside the cone, an intense heat source is required. That’s where a forest fire comes in handy. After fire melts the cone’s resin away, the cone cracks open. Seeds are then free to flutter to the ground where they can grow tall and strong. As a parent, you want to protect your son. But don’t forget that trials and ...

#869: The 4th Quarter

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/04

The 4th quarter of a football game is often a nailbiter. Teams battle it out as the minutes tick off the clock. At times, it feels like that 4th quarter will last forever. But then, before you know it, the game is over. The same is true in parenting. Many boys head off to work or college after high school. That means that if your son is at least 14 years old, then he’s probably in the 4th quarter of his time at home. Even if you’ve prepared your son for the future, the 4th quarter is no ti...

#868: Walk the Talk

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/03

George Müller—an evangelist who established orphanages in the 1800s—was known for his prayer life. And yet, in addition to his faith in God’s provision, Müller was also a man of action. He wisely said, “Our walk counts far more than our talk, always!” That’s so true. You may talk to your son about patience, kindness, and self-control, but do your actions demonstrate these characteristics? If a referee makes a bad call, how do you respond? When an elderly neighbor needs help, do you view it a...

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/02

Here’s an easy question: What does www stand for? If you answered, “world wide web,” you're right! But if you think about it, that phrase is actually quite descriptive of online content. We all know that the Internet is helpful in many different ways. And yet, it’s also a web that easily entangles boys in temptations. Violence, vulgarity, and sexuality are trapping boys in sin. Don’t let your son get ensnared by the sticky filth found on the web. As a father, protect your son by using con...

2025/04/01

See if you can answer this joke: When leaving for work, what did the daddy buffalo say to his son? . . . Bye-son! [Bison] Maybe that joke made you groan, but tell it to your son tonight, and you’ll probably get a smile from him—maybe even a laugh. Dad jokes are corny, but they’re still fun. Of course, you and your son can have fun in a thousand other ways, but the important thing is that you have fun together. School, sports, and friendships can be stressful. But by creating an atmo...

#865: Capture the Flag

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/31

Did you ever play Capture-the-Flag when you were a kid? If so, you know the object of the game is to capture the opposite team’s flag before getting tagged. It’s one thing to play Capture-the-Flag, but don’t let today’s secular culture capture your son’s heart and mind. The love of money, the desires of the flesh, and the pride of life are all trying to steal his attention. And if they capture it, they’ll imprison him in bondage and despair. Teach your son that God provides freedom from s...

#864: Courage Over Fear

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/28

On his first day of preschool my son peered into the classroom and said, “Dad, I don’t want to go in there.” I dropped to one knee in front of him and put my hand on his shoulder. Meeting him eye-to-eye, I reminded him about the first time he had ridden a pony. At first, he had been scared of the horse. But he faced his fear, and had been so glad that he did. With that memory in mind, my son walked confidently into the preschool classroom. When your son is filled with insecurity, it’s t...

#863: Wrong Way Runners

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/27

Have you seen the video of the football player who ran the wrong way? I heard about a man who is coaching his 6-year-old son’s flag football team. He told me his biggest challenge is getting the players to head in the right direction when they get the ball. Often their first instinct is to head toward the wrong end zone. Boys today are missing the moral compass needed when they leave the playing field and enter the game of life. Fifty-eight percent of Americans no longer believe that God and ...

Parent the boy in front of you. Books, websites, and friends can be great sources of wisdom for parenting advice. But as you’re listening to others, don’t forget this profound truth– there is no one else on earth who is exactly like your son. You have been hand selected by God to be your son’s parent. That means there is no one else– no, not even that parenting expert with several degrees– who is better equipped to be the mom or dad your boy needs. So yes, by all means, seek out Biblica...

#861: What is more difficult?

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/25

Is it more difficult to be a teenaged boy, or a grown adult? Adult life is stressful. Of course, you have more responsibility than your teen son. But consider this– you also have more freedom, more balanced hormones, and a fully developed brain. Parenting experts say that some of the hardest, most chaotic years of life are between ages 13-18, especially for young men. Here’s the point. It’s true that your son needs discipline and authority. But don’t forget that what he needs first is lov...

#860: The Weight of Waiting

2025/03/24

Have you had to wait for something recently, or are you still waiting? With seven games left in the 2022 Major League Baseball regular season, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge tied Roger Maris for the American League single-season home run record. With the world watching, Judge had to wait for five more games before finally breaking the record in the next-to-last game. Psalm 27:14 tells us to “wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage.” Waiting on the Lord doesn’t...

2025/03/21

What did you have for breakfast this morning? Around 49% of people had a quick bowl of cereal. Popular brands include Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, and Raisin Bran. Across the country, Americans enjoy over a hundred types of cereal. That’s a lot of variety, but there are even more ways of parenting kids. That’s why when it comes to raising your son, understanding his personality is vitally important. Many boys have tons of energy. They love the excitement of sports and outdoor activities. Othe...
