#1103: Fix it Together

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/26

Is it easier for you to fix something yourself rather than ask your son to help? If so, you’re not alone. One wife asked her husband to let their ten-year-old help him change the oil in their car. He told her he’d tried in the past but ended up frustrated. His son didn’t listen, couldn’t focus, and kept dropping tools. The task took twice as long. Can you relate? Even though teaching our sons how to take care of household problems, like changing the oil, may cost us time, it’s worth the effor...

#1102: Praying Over Your Son's Room

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/25

Have you ever prayed over your son’s room? Consider doing this the next time your son is at school or asleep. Standing at your son’s bedroom door, pray Psalm 121:8: That the Lord will watch over his comings and his goings. Then, walk over to his bedroom window, and pray Matthew 6:33- that your son will seek first God’s kingdom and righteousness. By his bedside, pray Psalm 4:8- That your son will lie down and rest in peace, because the Lord alone makes him dwell in safety. And standi...

#1101: Afraid

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/24

Has your son ever been afraid? On a coastal night hike, the youngest boys in the group were scared when odd lights began flashing across the sky. They grew more terrified as they hiked closer until they were directly underneath the lights! Turning the corner, they were delighted to find the source of the mysterious lights was a lighthouse in the distance; the lighthouse beam reflected off a power line and appeared to shoot across the sky. In life and on the trail, following experienc...

#1100: Reflectors

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/23

What comes to mind when you hear the word reflector? Maybe you think of a car’s taillight or those glittery objects that stick up in the center of the road. A reflector takes the light it receives and redirects it outward. In the darkness of today’s culture, Christians have a responsibility to reflect the true light of the world. The question is, are you doing that? Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is ...

#1099: Enjoy Life

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/20

Don’t forget to enjoy life with your son. If you’re like many parents, you are very concerned with parenting your son well. You work hard to help him succeed in school and learn responsibility. You research the best discipline strategies for him. You pray for him to know the Lord. Those things are excellent. But don’t forget to kick back and have fun with your boy, too. Sit on the porch and play fetch with the dog together. Hop on bikes and find a new trail. Make ice cream sundaes. If y...

#1098: Time to Recharge

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/19

Did you charge up your cell phone last night? Mostly likely, you did. That meant plugging it into a power source so that electricity could recharge its battery. Each night, you probably recharge your phone so that it’s ready to be used throughout the next day. As a parent, it’s vital that you also take time to rest and recharge. This could take the form of physical relaxation, emotional support, or spiritual refreshment. There are many ways to recharge your internal “batteries,” but the ke...

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/18

Is your son destined for greatness? Baroque sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini once said, “If you want to know the extent of a man’s ability, give him something difficult to do.” Today’s society wants to give everyone a prize for showing up, and award everyone an ‘A’ for turning in the assignment. The temptation to accept the easy ‘A’ and the prize with no victory creates a world with no champions. Break the mold! Challenge your son! …the cold, early-morning air broken by the ...

#1096: Passion and Purpose

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/17

If your son flops down on the couch and says, “I’m bored” — take notice. God made boys mentally, emotionally, and physically different from girls. Because of that, they need to engage in activities that they are passionate about . . . activities that involve both mind and body. So, what’s your son passionate about? Dad, help him discover his strengths and talents. This might involve trying a little bit of a whole bunch of activities. Take him rock climbing. Sign him up for karate classe...

2026/02/16

Are you afraid your son will lose his way? This world is full of alluring distractions that can lead our children down dark paths, seeking to devour them. In the midst of so many lies, how can they know the truth? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote in Sherlock Holmes, “...when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Against the wisdom of this world, the improbably simple truth of the gospel stands alone. Teach your son to never to...

#1094: The Goldfish Life

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/13

A young boy was playing with his pet goldfish, when he accidentally killed it. Scared he would get in trouble, the boy, named David, lied about what happened to his fish. Immediately, he felt guilty. He confessed the lie to his mom as tears streamed down his face. His mom said, “David, Jesus loves you no matter what you have done.” That little boy was David Frey, who grew up to be the lead singer of the Christian band Sidewalk Prophets. He wrote a song about that experience, called “You...

#1093: Friendship

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/12

Did you listen to your parents, or did you listen to your friends? Friendships can define a boy’s life. More than that, friendships in a group can provide identity. There is a reason sports teammates will fight viciously for one another on the field. It’s also why gangs are so prevalent– it gives boys a sense of belonging, and can drive them to do things they know are wrong. How can you help your son choose? It doesn’t have to be left to chance. You can give him god...

#1092: Experience God

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/11

Show. Don’t just tell. In Philippians 3:10, Paul says, “I want to know Christ.” He isn’t talking about head knowledge. In both the Greek and Hebrew languages, the word knowledge is experience based. Paul was saying that he longs to experience God in all of His glory. That should be our heart’s cry as Christian parents. We can take our son to church and tell him about the importance of a relationship with Jesus. But the best way to teach our boys is to show them. Let your son see you mee...

2026/02/10

Theodore Roosevelt famously said, “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” But how? How do we as parents give our sons the chance for glorious triumphs? Break free of the tyranny of screens! Go outdoors, and teach your son to test his mettle against a lofty mountain p...

1090: Four Things Boys Crave

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/09

Your son craves four things. First, he craves belonging– to “fit in.” Second, he wants a sense of competence. He needs to feel “good enough.” Third– boys need to know their worth. And the fourth thing that boys crave is a sense of autonomy. They want freedom and independence. The next time your son is upset or angry, it may be a good idea to go through this list in your head. Which craving is your son lacking? Then, once it’s identified, help your son find age-appropriate, healthy, ways...

2026/02/06

How can you train your son into good character, character that will last, character that will see him become a man of responsibility and action? The allures of society can drown your son in ease of life, pleasure, and infinite time-wasting. Many young men simply fail to do anything with their lives. It doesn’t have to be this way. Irving Stone wrote of Michelangelo in The Agony and the Ecstasy, “...his own integrity… forced him to do his best, even when he would have preferred to do ...

#1088: Three Words

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/02/05

It was just three simple words. Evangelical Louis Palau was fighting terminal lung cancer. During that time, someone asked him, “After you pass away, if you could send a message down from heaven to all believers, what do you think you would say?” Palau thought for a moment, then responded with three simple words: “Go for it.” That kind of God-rooted courage is one of the most important traits to instill in our son. When he’s little, this looks like letting him climb and explore in age-...

2026/02/04

What is your son afraid of? In today’s world, there is a lot to fear. School, friends, teachers, and classes are just a few. Social media and today’s culture pile on enough to scare most adults, let alone children. But the bible says, “God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Anchor your son in the word of God. Lead your children to godliness by example. Give them righteous mentors that will train them in the way they shoul...

2026/02/03

“Raising boys is an extreme sport. That’s why I wear workout clothes every day.” That’s a lighthearted quote from the blog Simply Well Balanced, but it sure has a lot of truth in it! Raising a son is a good way to rack up the steps on your fitness watch. But let me affirm you— if you’re letting your boy be wild– you’re probably doing it right. Let him run around like crazy outside. Show him how to make mud pies. Watch him do tricks on his bicycle. Go fishing together, and let him hold the...

In today's directionless culture, how can a boy know which way to go? As a boy, Luke climbed a 13,000-foot peak. It was terrifying and exhilarating! Just below the summit, the path went through a channel cut into the rock by ferocious winds. Protecting him from being swept off the rock face were steel cables mounted deep into the rock, secured there by the forest service. Confident of the steel cables' protection and seeing the summit, heI forged ahead and ...

#1084: Perfect Parent, Bad Son

Raising Godly Boys Minute ·

2026/01/30

A perfect parent would raise a terrible son. If you’re like many of us, when your head hits the pillow at night, your mind buzzes with the ways you could have been a better parent to your son. But Ali Worthington, author of the book Remaining You While Raising Them, says to stop beating yourself up. She says even a perfect parent can raise a son who doesn’t know how to apologize or deal with a friend’s bad day. Our creator God is so kind and powerful that he can use even our weaknesses as...
