#838: Flying High

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/20

You’ve probably never flown an airplane before, but your son might have. Well, not a real airplane, but possibly a Boeing 737 on a video game flight simulator. When flying, a pilot must rely on his instrument panel to provide him accurate information about airspeed, altitude, and direction. Without this information, the pilot puts himself and his passengers at risk, especially when flying through turbulence and bad weather. Parenting your son also requires you to rely on important informati...

2025/02/19

If you step outside tonight and gaze into the night sky, you might notice Sirius [sirēus]—the brightest star visible from earth. Even though it’s located over 50 trillion miles away, it still shines brightly in the darkness of space. Your son can also shine brightly in today’s dark world. Teach him to honor the Lord by doing what is right. By training your son to love God and obey His Word, your son can shine for Jesus and point his friends to the ultimate Light of the world.

#836: Self-Imposed Limitations

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/18

An elephant can carry seven tons of weight, but all it takes to restrain it is a flimsy rope. Why? When a baby elephant is in captivity, a chain is tied around its back leg and attached to a stake in the ground. No matter how hard the baby elephant struggles, it cannot break the chain. That memory is so strong that, when the elephant is fully grown and capable of breaking free, it believes it cannot. Your son’s brain works the same way. You can help him fight his self-imposed limitation...

#835: Day With No Catches

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/17

You grab your tackle box, tie on your favorite lure, and head to the shore for a relaxing day of fishing. But, hours later, you haven’t had a single fish bite your line. Parenting can feel like that sometimes. Especially when you are trying to communicate with boys. When it doesn’t seem like your son is listening, it’s time to adjust your approach, time to connect with him. Put your phone down. Give him your focused attention, eye to eye contact. Initiate physical touch. But even...

#834: Valentines Day Example

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/14

Your son probably thinks Valentine’s Day is silly. But it’s actually much more important than he realizes. When your boy sees you buy your wife flowers, or dress up for a date with your husband, you are sending several important messages. First, you are showing your son that you have a healthy marriage– something that psychologists say is crucial for a child’s well being. Boys who are raised by married parents do better in school and are even more likely to be physically healthier. ...

#833: The Donut Hole

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/13

31 donuts. That’s the average number an American eats in a year. Some eat fewer, but boys probably eat MORE than their fair share. Talking about donuts, have you ever wondered why there’s a hole in the middle? Because donuts are fried in oil, the hole allows the dough to cook evenly, without the outside becoming burnt and the inside remaining doughy. In addition to being a tasty treat, the donut is a good reminder. Don’t leave a hole in your son’s training. Education is certainly importan...

#832: Sink or Swim

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/12

Most 3 or 4 year olds will cling tightly to you in the swimming pool. To them, the water looks incredibly deep and scary. But as they take swimming lessons and learn how to tread water, they gain confidence to splash, swim, and dive. As your son continues to grow, don’t let him flounder and sink in other areas of life. Peer pressure and temptation are heavy weights that threaten to drown him in confusion and sin. Teach your son how to avoid these weights by pursuing friendships and activitie...

#831: The Value of Work

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/11

Boys like toys. Frisbees and basketballs are inexpensive. But other toys, like electric scooters or remote-controlled drones, can cost a lot. When your son asks for a toy, do you always buy it for him? While toys can certainly help kids grow physically and mentally, there’s value in having your son work for the extra things he wants. Younger kids can complete extra chores. Teenage boys should be given even greater responsibility. This might mean mowing lawns, washing cars, or getting a pa...

#829: Google Isn't the Answer

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/07

I’ve heard it said that this is the first generation being raised by Google. It’s estimated that Google processes over 5 billion questions and searches each day! That’s fine when it comes to knowing what temperature to bake a ham, or how to install a doorknob. But when it comes to raising your son, don’t let Siri, or Alexa, or Google take charge. Boys need to be guided through life. This begins by helping them develop a solid foundation in God’s Word. Additionally, boys thrive when they...

#828: Keep on Keeping On

2025/02/06

Have you ever noticed that boys love to run? They seem to be constantly dashing, darting, and scurrying around. And when they get older, they run even faster . . . which makes keeping up with them even more work. Parenting is exhausting. In addition to school and church, there are sports practices, music lessons, and a whole bunch of other activities that take time and energy. In the busyness of everyday life, it’s natural to feel tired and overwhelmed. But don’t let these emotions drag you...

#827: The Building Process

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/05

Have you ever met a boy who doesn’t love a treehouse! But before a treehouse can be enjoyed, it must first be constructed. After design plans are created, 2 x 4’s are measured, cut, and nailed together. Plywood is added to the floor, walls, and roof. And, of course, don’t forget the top-secret door in the floor. The building process isn’t only for treehouses. Parenting boys also requires careful planning and long-term construction. The question is: Are you building character, purpose, and...

The cheetah is the fastest land animal on the planet. They can run up to 60 miles per hour. But, the cheetah doesn’t run fast just to show off. No! The cheetah runs fast to catch its prey. You see, the Thomson gazelle, the cheetah’s favorite prey, has been clocked at a speed of 40 miles per hour. Boys enjoy competition. It’s part of their physical and psychological makeup. But ultimately, competition is not just an opportunity to impress others. It’s more than that … It's a matter of surviva...

#825: Embracing Challenge

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/02/03

With risk and competition disappearing from activities presented to boys, they are turning to the virtual worlds video games to find realms they can conquer and areas where they can excel. The result of this virtual conquest is apathy, rebellion, or outright resistance to real-world challenge. What boys need most is Christian men of character, trained and equipped to lead them in a male-centric environment, where they are engaged in real-world challenge through activities like camping, hiki...

Boys love the battles in video games! But did you know an even more ruthless battle rages around your son?Secular forces are battling for your son’s heart and mind. They want to distract him, tempt him, and destroy him by controlling his thoughts. But the Bible provides clear instruction on how to battle the enemy.

But, inevitably, every time you soared upward, you eventually came back down.As a Dad, you understand that parenthood also involves “highs” and “lows.” Maybe your son draws a picture that says, “I love my Dad!” Or perhaps he scores a goal on the soccer field.The “highs” of parenthood are great.

Using the right tool makes all the difference in successfully completing a job.When it comes to training boys, having the right tools and resources makes a big difference.

Prison is a hard place. But the pain of prison extends beyond concrete walls and barbed wire fences.According to Prison Fellowship, over 1.5 million kids have an incarcerated parent. Around 92% of them are fathers.That’s a sad statistic. It means that hundreds of thousands of boys are growing up without a dad. All boys need a proper role model to guide, encourage, and love them.Break the cycle. Be active in your son’s life or be “dad-like” in an organization that serves boys who don’t have th...

Juggling may look simple enough, but it’s actually a lot harder than it looks.Parenting boys is also harder than expected.

Have you ever heard your son say, “I’m bored”? If so, you’re not alone. These days, boys stay inside the house watching their digital devices for way too many hours a day. In fact, according to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, kids spend an average of 4 to 6 hours a day playing video games and watching TV. Do your boys a favor by introducing them to the great outdoors. As you explore the woods together, you’ll develop memories that will last a lifetime.And guess what...
