#884: Grumbles and Gratitude

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/25

Has the grumble monster invaded your home? You may not see him, but he leaves everyone feeling grouchy and grumpy. These emotions often lead to frustration when life is hard. Perhaps your son struggles in school, or maybe he’s hanging around friends that aren’t a good influence. You wish life didn’t have so many trials and troubles. During these times, it’s easy to complain. That’s why Philippians 2:14 reminds us to do all things without grumbling. So, if the grumble monster has invaded yo...

#883: Have Mercy

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/24

What comes to mind when you hear the words “mercy” and “grace”? Pastor and author Paul Tripp defines mercy as “tenderheartedness and compassion toward someone in need.” John Newton wrote about God’s “Amazing Grace” in his beloved hymn. I like this definition: Mercy is not getting what you deserve. Grace is getting what you don’t deserve. “Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.” Hebrews 4:16...

2025/04/23

When was the last time your plans were suddenly ruined? Maybe you had organized the perfect family road trip. But then, the day before leaving, one of your kids got really sick. Life doesn’t always go according to plan. There are countless variables outside our control. But we can control how we react when receiving bad news. When disappointment strikes, be intentional in teaching your kids an important life lesson. Remind them that nothing is outside God’s knowledge. Even though we oft...

#881: Chameleon

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/22

What comes to mind when someone mentions a chameleon? Most people think of the scaly lizard that changes color based on its surroundings. These cold-blooded reptiles blend into their environment by camouflaging their appearance. They can even adapt the brightness of their skin for strategic purposes. Chameleons are fascinating, but they’re NOT an example of how Christians should act in today’s world. Even though society is often fake and hypocritical, believers should demonstrate genuine b...

#880: Capture the Moment

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/21

Do you have a smartphone? If so, in addition to making phone calls and sending text messages, you probably use it to take pictures. Of course, when kids are young, parents often take thousands of pictures. But as those same kids enter middle school and high school, life becomes so busy that parents sometimes forget to take pictures. Be intentional in capturing both the big and small moments of life. After your son’s team wins a baseball game, stand next to your son and snap a selfie. Or wh...

#879: He is Risen

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/04/18

What are some things that rise? Maybe you’re thinking about prices, or helium, or a hot air balloon. But by far, the most amazing thing that has ever risen is the Lord Jesus. If he had stayed dead, people would have no hope and no future. But after three days in the tomb, Jesus conquered death and rose victoriously. And because of that, we can be redeemed. Have you and your son accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior? This Easter, make it a point to spend one-on-one time with your son. Toget...

#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...

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...

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...
