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.

Deception is growing and the enemy is fighting hard to keep these lies in the forefront of our minds. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Gary Bauer concludes his inspiring and thought-provoking discussion with Pastor Jack Hibbs about his latest book, Living in the Daze of Deception: How to Discern Truth from Culture’s Lies. He reminds us not to make the mistake of thinking the church is immune to these lies. We must not only be hypervigilant ourselves, but be steadfast in sharing God’s Truth with those around us. 1 John 4:6 says, “We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.”
