#1138: Shoulder to Shoulder

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/16

Walk into any coffee shop, and the chances are high that you’ll see two women talking. Sitting across from each other, the women will look each other in the eye and discuss deep and personal issues. You probably won’t see two men sitting and conversing in the same way. Why? Well, as Dr. Emerson Eggerichs points out, it’s a matter of gender differences. Women prefer face to face communication, while men tend to prefer shoulder-to-shoulder discussions. As a parent of a son, this is deeply...

#1137: Rappell Tower

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/15

When is your son strong enough? How do you know he’s ready? Tyler was the smallest, youngest member of the troop, and afraid of heights, so when it came time to go down the rappelling tower, the leaders were not surprised when Tyler got into the harness and timidly inched down the side of the tower. What blew their minds was that he went back over and over again, until he was kicking out off the top ledge, the rope zipping through his hands as he flew through the air in giant lea...

#1136: Sportsmanship

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/14

I have a tough time visualizing Jesus, mocking an opponent, calling them “losers.” It’s called “trash talk,” or having “swag.” And it can get ugly. Sportsmanship, like so many cultural norms these days, is becoming a thing of the past. When a player does something memorable, like crouching down and consoling a member of the losing side after the game is over, we marvel at their example. That’s the kind of life Jesus lived. Winning a game is just that. A game. Sportsmanship is a life lesson...

#1135: Perseverance

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/13

Are there days you want to resign as a parent? You wish you could throw in the towel and call it quits? Most parents have fleeting thoughts of giving up. During these problematic moments, remember God’s encouragement in James. The one who perseveres under trial is blessed and will receive the crown of life. Raising boys is a long endeavor. A marathon, not a race. And it sometimes requires thick skin. On the days when our boys run through the house and knock things over or leave their...

#1134: Rainy River

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/10

How do your son’s friends influence him? Do they make him better? Do they encourage him to be his best and have a good attitude? The twins were away from video games and TV. Cold and wet from the rainy canoe camping trip, all they wanted when they put in to camp was to go home. Bad became worse when they discovered their patrol’s food and all the extra water got left behind. But the other boys shared their own food and started playing games in the rain. Soon, t...

#1133: Teaching Trust

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/09

Luke, a senior in high school, took a breath. He was about to rappel down a steep cliff. He knew that, at the bottom of the cliff, an experienced rock climber was holding the safety rope. But it still took all the courage Luke had to begin to rappel. A few weeks later, Luke took a deep breath yet again. But this time he wasn’t rappelling. He was about to graduate high school. Just as had known the experienced rock climber would keep him safe, he knew his Heavenly Father was holding hi...

#1132: Protectors

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/08

Why are boys protectors? At four years old, Thomas saw a red wasp fly into the room and land next to his baby sister, buzzing threateningly. Scared for his sister, he stepped in front of her, stomping on the wasp with his bare foot, and the stinger went deep into his soft skin. His mother rushed from the kitchen and scooped up the brave little boy who saved his sister by taking the pain himself. Boys are men-in-training, and the God-given role of protector is hard-wired into them.&nb...

#1131: Personal Hygiene

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/07

Wet towels on the bathroom floor. Dirty clothes strewn about the bedroom with Legos embedded within, acting as a plastic minefield. And dirt. Dirt everywhere. If you have boys, then this little visual has you nodding in agreement. Personal hygiene for the average pre-teen boy or early teenager just doesn’t compute. Not until there is a girl involved. Then, we see the transformation unfold before our eyes. The hair has to be just so. Clean clothes matter. Deodorant and cologne become n...

#1130: Waterbottles

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/06

Is your son ready? John David was giving the boys a last-minute pack check before heading out on a week-long hike and campout of over eighty miles, when he noticed they only had one water bottle apiece. The trails were long and dusty, and many times there would be no streams or rivers along the way, and they could only find water to filter at the end of the day. He quickly got them more water bottles, and they were ready for the trip. One sip of a Sunday sermon is not enough to ...

#1129: H.E.A.R. the Word

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/03

Here’s an idea for studying the Bible with your teenage son. First, find a simple Bible reading plan online. Each day, you and your son read the passage together or own your own. Then, after reading the passage, go through the H.E.A.R. acronym. This was created by Pastor Robbie Gallaty. H stands for– Highlight a verse that stands out E— Explain what this verse means A— Apply this to your life And R— Respond to God’s Word. Pastor Robbie says he created this acronym to el...

#1128: William Wallace

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/02

William Wallace, who fought for Scottish independence, recalls this quote his uncle used to tell him: “I tell you a truth: Liberty is the best of things, my son; never live under any slavish bond.” Teach your son to walk in freedom. Many things in this life will seek to enslave him: twisted immorality, the pursuit of selfish ends and amassing wealth, or a life of ease and pleasure. But it is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Your son is free from the bondage of Pha...

#1127: Integrity

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/04/01

Integrity. We sometimes call it, “Honor,” or “Our Word.” If we say, “You have my word,” we wish for that person to believe us and trust us. Not just now, but in the future as well. Yet, Integrity is a difficult thing for young men to build in today’s society. They are surrounded by peers, cultural icons, and even relatives who lie to “save their backsides.” The Bible says, “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.”* God said we could believe ...

#1126: John Eldridge

2026/03/31

John Eldredge writes, “Men want a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is what is written in their hearts. That is what little boys play at. That is what men's movies are about. You just see it. It is undeniable.” In today’s world, those desires can become distorted, twisted, or boys can be shamed out of righteous desires to pursue the lies society paints with glitter and holds up as bait. You can affirm your boys in their desires for adventure, victory,...

#1125: Popcorn Development

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/03/30

Do you know how microwave popcorn works? Each kernel has a tiny drop of water inside. When that drop of water is heated up, the kernel explodes into popcorn! Here’s what I want to hone in on– even though they are placed in the same bag and heated in the same microwave— each kernel will turn into popcorn at different times. In the same way, your son will develop at his own rate. It’s very normal for boys to develop at a slower rate than girls, and then eventually catch up. But often, the...

#1124: More Fish

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/03/27

How much food can one boy eat? What about ten boys? If your son is anything like mine, they can put away some groceries. David and the other leaders planned ahead, and had a cooler full of food for the boys' outdoor leadership training retreat. What they did not count on was the fish. Camping right next to a lake, the boys spent every free moment with a line in the water, built a fire, and cooked fish for breakfast, lunch, and supper. David went home with 90% of the food he brought to the c...

#1123: Out of the Heart

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/03/26

It’s getting harder and harder to find programming on TV, movies in the theaters, or books in the bookstore to which we, as parents, feel comfortable exposing our children. Guarding their hearts and minds becomes infinitely more difficult the day you hand them their first smartphone. Because boys are typically very visual, in both their learning and what stimulates them emotionally, our “visual society,” with all of its ungodly trappings becomes a literal minefield, slowly destroying their bo...

#1122: Belonging

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/03/25

Have you ever felt like an outsider? Like you didn’t fit in? God created us with an innate desire to belong, to connect with others, to be part of a community. Our sons are no different. Even when they act uninterested, hide in their room, or say they don’t care, they still long to fit it. They want to join with others and experience the thrill of being part of something bigger than themselves. Our job is to steer them toward a group with healthy goals and positive influences. Pray about a...

2026/03/24

Does your son know how to succeed? A young boy was talking to JD, an infectiously happy disc-golf expert who drove trucks for a living. Eyes crinkling, JD told the boy, “I figured out the secret to making money as a truck driver. Wanna hear it?” The boy nodded eagerly, and JD answered with a smile, “Keep the left door closed.” What JD meant was, “don’t stop unnecessarily; keep on driving.” Whether your son is climbing a mountain, practicing for football or soccer, or learning a tra...

#1120: Only One String

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/03/23

Teach your son to do the best he can with what God has given him. Violinist Niccolo Paganini was playing a piece in front of an audience when, one by one, his violin strings began to snap. Finally, Niccolo was left with only one single working string. Unfazed, he finished the piece on the single string he had left. This is a wonderful example of focusing on our strengths. Our Creator has a specific purpose for every young man’s life. But sometimes, it’s easy for boys to only look at their...

#1119: Sibling Rivalry

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/03/20

Tim Allen once said, “Do you know what causes sibling rivalry? Having more than one kid." Worldly speaking, this is true. And funny. However, from a biblical perspective, the cause of sibling rivalry can reside in an “only child” household, too, for the ultimate cause is our sinful nature. The selfish cries of “Mine!” can manifest themselves in the presence of friends or relatives just the same. Jesus taught us that the entire Law of God can be summed up in two steps: Love the Lord your God w...
