We teach our kids to walk and talk, and we help them with their algebra homework. So why wouldn’t we teach our kids about the Word of God too? Jay and Heidi St. John discuss the importance of spending time in the Bible with your children—and why that doesn’t have to be an overwhelming idea.

Bringing Up Boys
With so much confusion about the role of men in society, it’s no wonder we have questions about how to bring up boys in the right way. Why are so many young males in crisis? What qualities should we be instilling in our sons? The culture has vilified masculinity, and as a result, an entire generation of boys is growing up without a clear idea of what it means to be a man. To help parents confront this challenge, the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute has developed a new 10-day email series based on Dr. Dobson’s best-selling book, Bringing Up Boys. It’s designed to equip you to wisely lead your sons to become godly men.
