#904: Male/Female Difference

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/05/23

Here’s a controversial yet obvious truth– men and women are different! A quick look at brain science supports this fact. The connections between neurons in the male brain are more condensed than in a female brain. That’s why men tend to focus on the bigger picture while women focus on details. Men use more grey brain matter, which makes them task oriented, while women use more white matter, which contributes to being more language oriented. In this society that often tries to pit women ag...

#903: Don't Ask

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/05/22

When your son is upset, “How are you feeling?” might not be the right question. Boys are simply not wired to connect words with feelings. While the female brain has verbal centers in both the left and right hemispheres– allowing girls to use words to process feelings— males only have verbal centers on the left side of their brain. This is why boys tend to not “talk it out” when they are upset, but instead turn to an unrelated activity, like video games or sports, to process big emotions. ...

Ever wake to the sound of a chainsaw ripping through wood? It’s a powerful tool. But it can be dangerous. Like a chainsaw, the internet is a powerful tool, but it’s also dangerous if not used properly. There’s a wealth of information available to us on the web. However, surfing the internet can become an addictive tidal wave. Do you start and end your day online? Are you constantly checking your emails and texts and feeling the need to respond immediately? If so, it might be time to try ...

#901: Trials Are Trails

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/05/20

The trials of life are like trails. They will either lead you closer to God or further away from him. You can’t choose if you’ll go through a trial, but you can choose how you will react to one. Being a Christian doesn’t make you immune to trials, but you can take comfort during a trial knowing that you are never alone. Repeatedly in his word God tells us that he will never leave us or forsake us. Boys are watching their father figures and mentors to see how they’ll react to a trial — if thei...

#900: Thirsty

2025/05/19

Did you know that a person can survive for about three days without water? Health experts commonly recommend drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily. While water is essential for life, Jesus speaks of a different kind of “living water” in John 4. While talking with a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well, he says, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of w...

#899: Card Game Lessons

2025/05/16

A deck of cards could teach your son an important lesson. Remember the card games you played growing up? Go fish, hearts, nerts, or spades? Search the internet if you need a refresher on the rules, make your son’s favorite snack, and find some decks of cards. It’s time for a family game night. As you play with your son, you will teach him several important lessons. He will learn to listen and follow rules as you teach him the game. As you play, he’ll practice staying focused. And as you w...

2025/05/15

What’s the most important question you’ve ever asked or been asked? Will you marry me? Did I get the job? Is the cancer in remission? While these are all important questions, life’s most important question is found in the Bible in Matthew 16:15-16 when Jesus asked Simon Peter, “But what about you? Who do you say I am?” and Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” What someone believes about Jesus is the most important question he will ever have to answer. Let’s tea...

#897: Loving Discipline

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/05/14

Did your parents ever say, “This is going to hurt me more than you.” This saying reminds me of Hebrews 12:11. “No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.” When God disciplines his children (believers), he does so out of love. “The Lord disciplines the one he loves, just as a father, the son he delights in.” (Proverbs 3:12) A parent’s motivation for administering disciplin...

#896: Losing Your Marbles

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/05/13

How many weeks will you have with your child before they become a legal adult? There are approximately 936 weeks from the day your child is born until he graduates from high school, and the weeks move quickly. You need to make the most of the time you have with your child. Parenting is a never-ending process, but the developmental years are crucial. I recommend that you fill a jar with marbles — or pieces of candy if you have a sweet tooth — based on your child’s age – how many weeks before t...

#895: Let It Go

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/05/12

It’s been said that unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. When we choose not to forgive, it hurts us, not just the person who has hurt us. Jesus said a lot about forgiveness in the Bible. He taught, “If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.” When Peter asked Jesus how often it is necessary to forgive, he replied, “Seventy times seven,” a number to be taken symbolically, not literally, for the never-ending wa...

#894: Mother's Day Single Mom

2025/05/09

This Mother’s Day, minister to a single mom of a son. Every single mom is a hero. And single moms who have boys? They should wear capes. Raising a boy– who needs a ton of exercise, outdoor activity, focused attention, and healthy risk taking– is a joy, but can be exhausting. If you don’t know a single mom, ask a local church about their single moms ministry– they will be able to give you some names. Then, pray about the best gift to give. Some ideas are an anonymous check, a grocery gift c...

#893: First Responders

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/05/08

What’s the first thing you do when you or your child is struggling with something? Is it to pray? Prayer should be our first response, not our last resort. There is power in prayer. Stormie Omartian (stor·mee ow·maar·tee·uhn) writes this in her book The Power of a Praying Parent: “When we pray, we bring that power to bear upon everything we are praying about, and we allow the power of God to work through our powerlessness. When we pray, we are humbling ourselves before God and saying, “...

#892: Over or Under?

2025/05/07

When it comes to toilet paper placement, do you prefer the paper to flow over or under the roll? Well, according to recent surveys, around 70% of Americans prefer the toilet paper to roll over the top. This may not seem like a big deal, but for some people, toilet paper placement causes controversy, chaos, and conflict. We laugh at such pettiness, but the truth is we often major on the minor things in life. Do you get bent out of shape if your son taps his foot at the table or chews too lo...

If you don’t give your son a challenge, he will challenge you. Julie was frustrated that her teenage son, Tyler, wouldn’t help with any chores around the house. But when Tyler’s dad asked him to repair the fence in the backyard, Tyler jumped at the opportunity. Why? Boys are uniquely wired to crave adventure. So much so that they often lose motivation when things are too easy or simple. This is why many extremely intelligent children often struggle in school– simply because of boredom. ...

Have you watched the track and field events at the Summer Olympic Games? The training that goes into running a marathon is much different than what a runner needs to do to prepare for a 100-yard dash. Raising godly boys is more like a marathon than a sprint. Parenting is a lifelong process filled with seemingly insignificant moments. We must take advantage of every opportunity God gives us, whether it’s the car ride to and from school or tucking them into bed at night. “These commandmen...

#889: Made Perfect in Weakness

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/05/02

Is social media hurting your son’s self-esteem? Social networks often create unreasonable expectations of what a man is. And because of that, boys may look at their flaws and failures and think that they’re not good enough. As a dad, remind your son that even great men from the Bible experienced physical and spiritual weaknesses. Moses stuttered. Jacob was a cheater. Elijah wrestled with depression. And the apostle Peter had a temper. The list could go on and on. Fortunately, 2 Cor...

#888: Legacy

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/05/01

No one wants to think about death, but if you’re a Christian, you know that Christ has conquered the grave. Still, at some point, physical death will separate us from our loved ones. The question is: What kind of legacy will you leave behind. How will your children remember you? Billy Graham, one of the most widely known evangelists of the 20th century, said, “The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is a legacy of character and faith.” There’s nothing wrong i...

Have you ever asked yourself, “What does God want my son to see that he is not seeing, and how can I help him see it?” Because sin is deceptive, it can blind your son to the sin in his own heart. Let’s look for chances to be a tool to help him see it. When you help him see what motivates his desires and actions, you are doing what God has called you to do as a parent. Parenting is not about getting your son to do the right thing, but helping them to see so that he wants to do the right thi...

2025/04/29

Have you ever found something you thought you had lost forever? How did it feel? Imagine completing a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle, except for one missing piece. You could look everywhere until you give up hope of ever finding the piece, only to have it turn up when you aren’t looking for it a few weeks later. Imagine how excited you’d be to finally complete the puzzle. In Luke 15, Jesus talks about several lost things – a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son – that were all found. I’m thank...

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/28

Did you know that 3,160 tons of water flow over Niagara Falls every second? Like water flows over the Falls, the words and actions of your son flow out of what is in their hearts. To raise godly boys, we need to remember the advice the wisest man who ever lived, King Solomon, gave to his son: “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Proverbs 4:23 Your son’s behavior problems are heart problems. Thankfully, Jesus came to give us a new heart. Pay attention ...
