As moms, we all want to raise strong, faithful sons who will grow into men of godly character. But parenting boys in today’s culture comes with unique challenges.
In this episode, I’m joined by Molly DeFrank — mom of three boys (and three girls), who has been featured in Parents Magazine, Good Morning America, and Mama Bear Apologetics. 
Together, we unpack:
How faith shapes the way we parent
The biggest cultural challenges boys face today
What the Bible teaches us about raising sons
The truth about toxic masculinity
The struggles Christian moms often face—and how to overcome them
8 critical things your son needs before he turns 10
Encouragement for moms who feel overwhelmed or like they’re failing
Molly shares this powerful reminder: “Our mission as mothers should be to teach our sons objective truth and affirm their identity as assigned by God.”
If you’re a boy mama (or a mama who simply wants to raise kids grounded in God’s truth), this conversation will encourage, equip, and inspire you!
