But the most iconic Thanksgiving food is turkey.This Thanksgiving, after you’ve gobbled down your meal and two slices of pumpkin pie, don’t be a turkey!

2024/11/27

Here’s a quiz question: The day after Thanksgiving is known as what? If you answered, “Black Friday,” you’re absolutely right. That’s when many stores advertise incredible sales—and people willingly gobble up the savings.Even though it’s nice to score a bargain, don’t let the commercialization of the holiday season distract you with all its gizmos and gadgets.In Luke 12:15, Jesus reminds us that “one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”That’s a tough lesson fo...

2024/11/26

Who are your son’s heroes? Many boys admire the superheroes they see in movies, or the athletes that make crowds jump to their feet in awe and wonder.It’s one thing for boys to wish they could fly through the air or dunk a basketball. But point out real-life superheroes that make our lives a better place.People like police officers, firefighters, and military servicemen should be admired because of their selfless service in maintaining law and order and ensuring our safety. When you see these...

#775: The Why Matters

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2024/11/25

When you ask a boy to do something, and he asks “why?” is your typical response: “Because I said so”?If we want to raise godly boys, we must try to include the “why” behind the “what.”As parents or mentors to boys, we should be more concerned with their heart transformation than behavior modification.The best thing we can do is point boys to Scripture, which provides an unmoving foundation for character to be built upon.Let’s remember Ephesians 6:4, which says, “Do not provoke your children t...

#774: Be a Man

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2024/11/22

Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase, “Grow up. Be a man!”The rebuke is usually directed toward a boy who is being whiny or acting childish. But being a man involves much more than simply reaching a certain age.1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”Becoming a man involves physical, mental, and spiritual growth. All three aspects are necessary in achieving a balanced lifestyle that honors...

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2024/11/21

How about creating a regular meeting time with your son? For years, every weekday morning, Pastor John Tyson and his son Nate would get up and do a devotional together. They called it their early morning meetings– and Tyson says it blessed both of them immensely.You can adopt this practice with your own boy. Use your morning drive time to listen and discuss a Bible passage together. Or, choose a devotional book, and read it together each night before your son goes to bed. Your son may n...

#772: Repetition

2024/11/20

Ever wonder if your discipline and teaching is really resonating with your son? Mandy, the mom of a defiant 2-year-old, had been diligently trying to teach her son to clean with a broom and dustpan. But even after lots of repetition, he didn’t seem to be learning it at all. One night, during a temper tantrum, her son threw food on the floor. Mandy couldn’t believe it when her son got a broom and dustpan and cleaned up his own mess. Parenting your son is really just teaching him the same lesso...

#771: Inconvenience as Opportunities

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2024/11/19

Your son can learn from your inconveniences. Jack and his son were driving to football practice when they got a flat tire. By the time they had put on the spare, driven to the mechanic, and replaced the tire, Jack’s son had completely missed his practice. Jack felt bad– but he was grateful his son now knew how to handle a flat tire. When you experience things like car trouble or house maintenance issues– make sure your son observes how you handle them. More than just learning the practical sk...

#770: Not Perfect But Right

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2024/11/18

You don’t have to get it perfect. But you do have to get it right. Raising a son can be one of the hardest experiences of your life. And it’s very easy to focus on all the ways you fall short. Although God never commands you to be a perfect parent– He does give some guidelines. Ephesians says not to provoke your son. Proverbs reminds you to be diligent in discipline. Deuteronomy encourages you to regularly discuss Scripture with your boy. And of course, we should also pay close attention to t...

#769: The Man-ager

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2024/11/15

Are you raising a “man–ager”? Pastor Jon Tyson coined this phrase, which describes a man who is physically an adult but still living like a child– playing video games all night, living with his parents, and not pursuing higher education or a stable career. Pastor Tyson says that one of the biggest things that separates a boy from a man is the confidence to pursue hard things in life. As your son grows up, be sure to allow him to face difficulties, even in situations when you could easily solv...

#768: Facing Limitations

2024/11/14

“What if you could be a better husband, father, and man without the use of your legs or hands?”That was the question that Chad Hymas [hi-miss]’s father asked him, as Chad lay in a hospital bed. He had suddenly become a quadrapaletic after a farming accident. His dad’s words sparked the hope that Chad needed– and today, years later, he is a devoted husband and dad and an inspiring speaker– despite his physical disabilities. Everyone has limitations– your son included. As parents, it’s im...

#767: Staying Pure

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2024/11/13

Why are young boys seemingly always dirty? As a father who has had young boys, it’s nearly impossible to keep them clean. But when it comes to spiritual things, how can we help our boys stay pure from the pull of this evil culture we live in? Psalm 119:9 says, How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your Word. The Word of God will be the light for the path of your son. Living the Word and following the instructions God gives in His Word will preserve and protect yo...

#766: It's Time to Affirm

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2024/11/12

What is a father’s most important role? Is it providing? Is it Protecting, or teaching? I believe the most important role of a father is affirmation. The word affirm means to state as fact. As fathers we are to declare to our children, especially our boys who they are and who God says they are. You can provide everything for your son and even teach him great things, but if you never tell him he is valuable and has a purpose, there will be a deficit in his life. The father of lies that Jesus r...

2024/11/11

Why are boys so wild and crazy?If you’re a mom of boys but you never grew up with boys you may wonder why they act the way they do. Why they like to climb trees and wrestle. While they take sticks off the ground and act like they are guns. Why they are constantly dirty.The fact is boys and girls are very different. God made boys to be adventurous and risktakers by nature. They like to explore and be wild.Our culture has invented a term called toxic masculinity. This term seems to suppress the...

2024/11/08

When the national anthem is sung or the pledge of allegiance recited, does your son stand and salute the flag? Since 1777, the American flag has stood as a powerful symbol of American liberty and justice. The stars and stripes remind us of the sacrifice that many men and women gave so that we can enjoy this land of the free.Teach your son the meaning of the flag’s colors. White signifies purity and innocence. Red indicates courage. And blue is a sign of perseverance and justice.Even though th...

Did you know that the human heart beats about 100,000 times a day, and the average heart will beat more than three billion times in its lifetime?Many of the problems boys face today are heart-related — not physically, but emotionally and spiritually.The heart of the matter is truly a matter of the heart!As parents raising godly boys, we need to be careful to guard our hearts and help boys guard theirs.King Solomon said it best in Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do ...

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2024/11/06

Can fear actually be a good thing?According to the Scriptures there are two types of fear. The fear of the Lord and the spirit of fearProverbs says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. But in 2 Timothy 1:7 it says God has not given us a spirit of fear.The fear of the Lord is that voice inside of us that tells us what we’re about to do may cause harm. It’s the feeling you get when you are too close to the edge of a cliff.The spirit of fear is from the enemy and it breeds confusion,...

At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. But it probably doesn’t take that much heat to make your blood boil. Does your son pretend not to hear you? Is he repeatedly ignoring your instructions? Does he say sarcastic remarks that irritate you?Parenting boys isn’t easy. The path toward maturity is often steep and bumpy—twisting and turning in unexpected ways. And because boys have a mind of their own, what they think is funny may actually be incredibly rude.When you feel hot under t...

Have you ever been to a circus or zoo where animals perform tricks? Maybe you’ve seen a seal balance a bright red ball on its nose. Or maybe you’ve seen a monkey ride a tiny bicycle.Training animals takes lots of work and patience. But even more difficult than taming animals is taming the tongue.James 3:8 says, “But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.”The tongue gets a lot of people in trouble. That’s why it’s important you train your son to guard his tong...

2024/11/01

What poisonous plant is easily identified by its “leaves of three”?If you said poison ivy, you’re right! When you see its “leaves of three,” you immediately step back. That’s because nobody wants red, itchy skin covered in bumps and blisters.In the great outdoors, it’s important to teach your son the hazards of poison ivy, but it’s even more important to teach him the hazards of sensuality. Today’s secular culture sexualizes women in movies, magazines, and the internet. For boys who want to g...
