#1038: Attack

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/27

Why is there an attack on biblical manhood? All around us, the very idea of a man as a devout father, provider, and hard worker is ridiculed and torn down. A spineless, conforming, weak-willed androgyne is modeled, and we are told to sacrifice our sons to modern culture. How can you keep your son safe from these attacks? Model godly character. What he sees in you, he will follow. Provide godly mentors. Show him a standard he can trust and hold. Give him a challenge.&nbs...

#1037: Without a GPS

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/26

“In a thousand feet, turn left.” Imagine that you’re driving in a town you’ve never visited before. The GPS on your phone is telling you what turns you need to make. But suddenly, your phone’s battery dies. Without your GPS, you feel lost, alone, and you wonder if you’ll even make it to your desired destination. That “lost” feeling is what many young men experience in our society today. In the confusion of cultural relativism, mixed roles, and gender fluidity, boys don’t know ...

#1036: Adventures

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/25

Why do boys love adventure? Mark Twain said, “There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy’s life that he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.” The search for adventure drives some boys to video games, where they can conquer kingdoms and gain virtual accolades. Others find their adventures in sports. But deep down, the call of the woods, the wild, the mountains and the seashore live deep in all young boys. You can feed that desire and strengthen th...

#1035: When He Won't Talk

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/24

Doesn’t it seem like the more you want your son to talk, the less he will? Of course, some boys are talkative. But generally speaking, your son is not going to volunteer a lot of information about his day. One reason is biological. Males have fewer language centers in their brain than females, and process things internally. Your son may also feel the pressure from you to share, and is backing away because he feels like he just isn’t going to be able to give you enough. Here are a few ways...

#1034: What's Worship

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/21

What makes worship, worship? Jesus defined worship for the Woman of Samaria at Jacob’s well in John 4:23 and 24. “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” We should teach our children to worship God wherever they are, not just at church. What matters most in worship? The posture of our...

#1033: True Bravery

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/20

If you ask your son what it means to be brave, what would he say? Your son would probably answer that bravery is entering a dangerous situation or saving someone’s life– and that’s true. But in this day and age when depression and suicide rates of teenage boys are at a crisis point, your son needs to know that there’s another way to be brave– asking for help. Give your son small exercises in asking for help in everyday life– with his homework, with his chores, or at public places....

#1032: The Source of Wisdom

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/19

Where should a boy turn to when he needs wisdom? Today, through the internet and other sources, there is more information available than ever before. But the best source of information and wisdom is found in a book written thousands of years ago — the Bible. The book of Proverbs is especially powerful when it comes to seeking wisdom. We often think we need a “life hack” to navigate life’s most difficult situations. But all we need is God’s Word and His Spirit living in us. If you or your son ...

2025/11/18

Here’s a startling statistic: The average iPhone screen time for an adult in the United States is around seven hours each day. But the average amount of time a parent spends with their child is only about two hours a day. Here are some screen-free ideas for connecting with your son today. Make banana splits with your boy. Build a lego garage for his cars. Campout in the living room. Have him help you make a family photo album. Find a nontraditional holiday online, and celebrate it toget...

#1030: The Source of Truth

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/17

Do you remember when someone gave you bad advice? Did you take it? If so, what were the results? When seeking advice, who or what can you trust? The most trustworthy source of truth is the Bible. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The best first step in all situations is going to God and asking for His guidance. Seeking advice from family, friends, co-workers, pastors, counselors, and others isn’t wrong, especially from fellow Christians who know the Word. But seek God first and...

#1029: Power of Habits

2025/11/14

His face was shattered– and so were his dreams. When James Clear was in high school, he had big plans to be a baseball star. But one day, he was hit in the face with a baseball bat, and suffered a brain injury. That’s when James discovered a powerful concept. As he recovered, he began to hone in on the small habits in his life, then started to work on his baseball skills again. Years later, James made ESPN’s All-American player list, and now credits the small habits for the reas...

#1028: Hearing Voices

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/13

Do you hear voices? There are many voices in the world competing for our attention, but none can compare to the voice of the Lord. God speaks to His children, sometimes audibly, but mostly through His Word, the Bible. Are you listening for and to God’s voice? Or are you letting worldly voices silence Him? How can you recognize God’s voice? In John 10:27, Jesus said, “My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow me.” God’s voice will never contradict His Word. And when...

#1027: Loving the Uniform

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/12

Rachel’s six-year- old son loves to play t-ball. He admires his coach and enjoys carrying around his bat. But there is one thing he loves more than anything else– his bright green uniform. There’s a reason for this. As young men grow up and learn to navigate social settings, they are always asking three questions– “Who is with me?” “Who is in charge?” And, “What is our mission?” On sports teams, the uniform is a symbolic answer to those questions. In life, it’s not always so clear. It’s up...

#1026: Don't Be Fooled

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/11

Do you remember the last time your child lied to you and how it made you feel? According to research, parents are the primary victims of lying, with 86 percent of lies being told to them. Kids often believe they are clever enough to fool their parents, but fathers and mothers usually see right through their lies. Parents are not as easily deceived as children think. Most of the time, the truth is clear and will come out sooner or later. We should remind our children that God is omniscient...

#1025: Go Fish

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/10

“Do yourself a favor. Take a kid fishing.” That’s a quote from a man named Frank White, who produced a show called Southern Sportsman. He would say those words at the end of every broadcast. Psychologists would agree with his suggestion. Fishing gives your son an opportunity to be outside, practice problem-solving skills, and connect with others. One study even found that combat veterans who went to a fly fishing retreat slept better and showed less symptoms of stress. It’s fairly easy ...

#1024: CEOs Needed

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/07

How can you tell if someone needs encouragement? If they are breathing, according to Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A. Children can easily and quickly become discouraged, especially when tired or stressed, and become negative, self-critical, and depressed. The Bible mentions “encouragement” a lot, including Hebrews 3:13, which tells us to “encourage each other daily.” You can create an encouraging environment for your loved ones by building up and encouraging them more than criticizing an...

#1023: Changes

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/06

Your teen boy is going through a lot of changes. You might need to change a bit, too. Of course, the fundamentals of godly parenting and discipline will stay the same. But as your son matures, it’s important to take a step back and prayerfully consider that a change in approach may be helpful. For instance, a teen boy will most likely pull away from his mom and gravitate towards his dad. This is normal and healthy, and experts say to encourage that relationship. Many high school boys are ...

Here are five ways you can live out being better together as a family. Read together. Read the Bible and other books as a family. Learn together. Share what God is showing you as read His Word. Talk together. Talk about what God is doing in your life. Pray together. Thank God for all He's done for your family and pray for your family ...

What can you give your children and grandchildren that won’t cost you any money and will last forever? Parents and grandparents who teach their children and grandchildren to know, love and follow Jesus will leave a spiritual inheritance that will last for generations and into eternity. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Have you encouraged your children or grandchildren to follow God? Do you pray for them to know ...

#1020: Parenting Success

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/11/03

“What does successful parenting look like?” If you ask a group of parents this question, you would get a lot of different responses. Most parents want their kids to graduate high school and college, get a good job, get married, have children, and live “happily ever after.” As a parent, you can easily become focused on worldly success and helping your kids achieve the “American Dream,” but that’s not the goal in Christian parenting. Your goal should be to raise your kids to know, love, and fol...

#1019: Major Matters

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2025/10/31

Have you heard this saying? “Don’t major in the minors.” We can easily get distracted in life and become consumed by things that don’t really matter. Jesus often condemned the Pharisees for this type of behavior, giving them a stern lecture in Luke 11:42. “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.” Let’s ask God to...
