#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 ...

#862: Your Unique Son

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/26

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

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

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...

#859: Your Son’s Personality

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

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...

Life is busy. We all know that. But sometimes it feels as if we have to do everything to keep life running smoothly. We have to drive our kids to sports games, make sure they finish their homework, and tell them for the hundredth time to brush their teeth. But it’s important to remember that we aren’t the only ones that want to see our kids succeed. Sunday school leaders, classroom teachers, coaches, friends, and many others have our kids’ best interests in mind. Take a moment to thank the...

#857: Stand for Truth

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/19

A battle is raging—and it’s destroying people’s lives. No, I’m not talking about wars and conflicts scattered across the globe. Rather, I’m referring to the cultural war on gender identity. Secular activists use words like “toxic masculinity” to shame people into thinking that gender is destructive. But the Bible is clear. God created people either male or female. As a parent, it’s important you fight back against the bombardment of identity politics. Here’s a tip: Get involved at your sch...

#856:Returning Thanks

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/18

During Jesus’ day, leprosy was an awful disease that caused horrible deformities. That’s why when Jesus healed ten lepers, they were thrilled. They probably rushed away to tell the exciting news to their family and friends. And yet, only one leper returned to give thanks to Jesus. We’re quick to blame those nine lepers, but at times, we’re just as ungrateful. We may not have leprosy, but our Lord still helps and strengthens us in many ways. And he often uses people around us to accomplish...

#855: Parenting Patience

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/17

Don’t you wish parenting boys was easy? Wouldn’t it be great if your son always listened carefully, obeyed immediately, and behaved perfectly? The truth is—that’s rarely the case. When your son tests your patience for the hundredth time in a day, take a deep breath and remember our Savior’s example. When the Pharisees tried to trick him, He responded calmly. When the Jews demanded that He be crucified, he asked God to forgive them. Training boys takes time. It won’t happen overnight, but t...

#854: “Eye” Am a Boy

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/14

Ever wonder why your son can spot the elusive bad guy on his video game, but doesn’t seem to notice the dust collecting on his dresser? Well, there’s actually a biological reason for that. When compared to girls, boys have more rods than cones in their eyes. This makes boys more sensitive to movement, and more likely to focus on things farther away. The difference makes sense historically. Men have traditionally been hunters and protectors, needing to see danger from far away. So while ...

#853:Competition is Key

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/13

You’re at the park with your son and his best friend. A hundred feet away is a water fountain. Your son asks if he can go get a drink. When you say yes, the two boys race to the water fountain. Your son’s friend yells triumphantly when he gets there first. Isn’t it funny how little boys often try to make everything a competition? As a parent, use that fact to keep your son engaged! Whenever you can, add healthy risk to everyday life. Encourage your son to try a new activity, like the bi...

#852: Sunglasses and Self-Worth

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/12

For years, a pair of sunglasses determined my worth. When I was in my twenties, I proudly made my first big purchase: a pair of Serengeti sunglasses. But shortly after buying those sunglasses, I lost them. It might sound silly, but that incident plagued me for decades. I told myself that I couldn’t be trusted and didn’t deserve nice things. I doubted my worth as a man and my ability to be a good dad. It took years for me to realize that my worth is in Jesus Christ, and that my mistake...

#851:What Comes Naturally?

2025/03/11

What’s something that does not come naturally to you? Maybe public speaking makes you break out in a sweat, or you think running is torturous. Now, how would you feel if you had to spend eight hours a day doing that very thing you are not good at? That’s the reality for many boys. Boys are natural explorers. When they reach school age, they are expected to spend most of the day sitting. No wonder they often get in trouble for being antsy! Outside of school hours, make sure your son gets...

#850: What Disqualifies You?

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/10

The Bible is full of men who ruined their own lives. Moses was full of self-doubt and had an anger problem. Peter lied and said he didn’t know Jesus. David betrayed and killed a man. And yet, so many years later, we still remember those men not for the mistakes they made, but for being leaders in the faith. Kids today, especially boys, are desperately in need of positive mentors. You probably think that you are too flawed or not godly enough to be a good role model. But what if God can ...

#849: Generation Z

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/07

Have you heard about Generation Z? No, it’s not a new boy band. It’s a label applied to those born between 1997 and 2012. Many people look at today’s Generation Z as media-obsessed teenagers who are lazy, cynical, and unambitious. But this stereotyping fails to reveal the clever, creative, and compassionate way these teens are influencing their communities. Many times, they simply haven’t been inspired to set goals and achieve their dreams. Sometimes they simply haven’t had good role models...

2025/03/06

Do you like to run? Most people don’t. To excel, the sport requires training, endurance, and determination. In some ways, parenting is a lot like running a race. But the parenting race is more similar to a marathon than a sprint. When our boys are young, it feels like we’re providing constant instruction and correction. We wonder, “Will this ever end?” But before you know it, you’ve rounded the corner and face the teen years. You encounter new hurdles, attitudes, and challenges, wearines...

#847: Searching for Wisdom

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/05

When’s the last time you went on a scavenger hunt? Well, you know, they are making a comeback. Teenagers, especially, like the competitive aspect of searching for and finding a bunch of weird objects . . . all in the fastest time possible. Searching for plastic flamingos is hilarious, but don’t forget to teach your son about the importance of searching for wisdom in God’s Word. More than ever, today’s secular culture tells boys that life is all about fun and pleasure. The Bible has a diff...

#846: Marriage is Under Attack

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/04

You know, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that only 18% of American homes consist of a mother, father, and child. That’s an incredibly sad statistic. It means that kids in over 100 million households don’t have the loving influence of either a mother or a father. More often than not, the father is the one missing from the home. This leaves boys without a role model and without a father’s guidance and correction. Whether or not your son has the benefit of godly influences within the home, ...

#845: Teamwork

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/03/03

Boys love football. Flag football is fun, but tackle football is an even bigger rush. Quarterbacks and wide receivers get a lot of the glory, but football coaches are quick to point out that it takes an entire team to win a football game. The same is true in parenting your son. As a parent, you are certainly the most influential person in his life. But his teachers, athletic coaches, and friends also influence his thoughts and actions. The question is: Are they influencing him to do righ...
