Feeling overwhelmed as a mom? Tired of the world’s negative view of boys? Wondering if you’re doing enough to prepare your son for the future God has for him? Welcome to Raising Boys with Purpose. I’m Brooke—boy mom and Christ follower—and I know firsthand how challenging it can be to raise sons who are ready to launch into adulthood. For more than 25 years, I’ve walked the road of raising two boys, navigating the joy, the questions, the prayers, the mistakes, and the constant desire to guide them well. I researched, lost sleep, learned the hard way, and discovered that raising boys intentionally—with a plan—makes all the difference. This podcast is here to encourage and equip you as you raise your son to become the man, God created him to be. Together, we’ll focus on building faith in God, responsibility, independence, discipline, resilience, and the real-life skills your son needs for a strong launch into adulthood. Each week, you’ll find two types of episodes: Tuesday teaching episodes that offer practical strategies, biblical wisdom, and encouragement for raising boys with purpose. Thursday episodes—Mom’s Perspective—where I share commentary on articles, news stories, and cultural conversations shaping how we raise our boys today. We’ll talk honestly about the challenges of raising boys in a noisy world, how culture views our sons, and how we can help them see themselves the way God sees them. And we’ll do it with truth, grace, encouragement, and a little humor—because motherhood needs that too. If you’re ready to parent with intention, pursue the future God has for your son, and walk this journey alongside another mom who understands, you’re in the right place. Grab your iced coffee—it’s time to start raising boys with purpose.

    47 | Teach Your Teen Son Life Skills for Adulthood | Christian Parenting

    Back-to-school shopping isn't just about checking items off a supply list—it can be one of the best opportunities to teach your teen son important life skills he'll use long after graduation. In this episode of Raising Boys with Purpose™, Brooke shares practical ways Christian moms can turn back-to-school shopping into lessons in budgeting, planning, prioritizing, comparison shopping, and personal responsibility. Whether your son is starting high school or heading off to college, these simple conversations can help him grow in confidence and independence while avoiding common financial mistakes.

    Is Your Teen Boy Really Disrespectful? Or Just Misunderstood? | Christian Parenting | 19 | Summer Replay

    Are teen boys really disrespectful… or are we misunderstanding what’s actually happening? My family is still visiting, so I'm continuing our Summer Replay series by revisiting another one of the most impactful conversations from earlier this year. Whether you're hearing this episode for the first time or listening again, I hope it encourages you as you continue raising your son with purpose. “Disrespectful teens” is one of the most common frustrations in parenting teenagers. The eye rolls, the tone, the pushback—it can feel constant. But what if some of what we’re calling disrespect is actually disagreement, growth, or a teen learning how to express himself? In this episode of Raising Boys with Purpose, we’re breaking down how to tell the difference between true disrespect and normal teenage development—so you can respond with clarity instead of frustration. Because raising boys into respectful, strong young men isn’t just about behavior—it’s about teaching them how to think, communicate, and grow into adulthood. If you’re parenting a teen son and wondering, “Is this normal… or do I need to step in?” This episode will give you practical guidance and encouragement for the journey.   Scripture “Honor your father and mother.” — Matthew 15:4   Connect & Continue the Conversation Instagram: 👉 https://www.instagram.com/raisingboyswithpurpose/ Facebook Group: 👉 https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingboyswithpurpose Facebook Page - Brooke Lynn: 👉  https://www.facebook.com/BrookeLynnParentingCoach YouTube: 👉  https://www.youtube.com/@RaisingBoyswithPurpose   About Podcast:  Raising Boys with Purpose™ is a Christian parenting podcast for moms raising teen boys and young men.

    Why Is It So Hard to Trust God? | A Christian Mom's Perspective| 10 | Summer Replay

    We trust people every single day — drivers on the road, systems we don’t fully understand, and strangers to follow the rules. But when it comes to trusting God completely, why does it sometimes feel harder? I'm spending a little extra time with family over the next couple of weeks, so I'm taking this opportunity to revisit some of the most meaningful conversations from the Raising Boys with Purpose™ archive. Whether you're hearing this episode for the first time or listening again, I hope it encourages you as you continue raising your son with purpose. In this Mom’s Perspective episode of Raising Boys with Purpose™, we reflect on what it means to trust God instead of living in anxiety — especially as Christian moms raising teenage and young adult sons. While we naturally place trust in the world around us, Scripture calls us to seek God first and rest in His care. If you’ve been feeling anxious about your son’s future or today’s challenges, this episode offers gentle encouragement and a reminder that God is faithful and in control.

    As America celebrates its 250th birthday, this special Mom's Perspective episode explores how everyday family traditions can help shape grateful, responsible young men.

In this episode, I share those memories and discuss how they shaped the way I view my country today. We'll talk about how patriotism isn't about pretending everything is perfect. It's about appreciating our freedoms, learning from the past, serving our communities, and encouraging our sons to become men who care enough to help build a better future.

    45 | Why Is It So Hard to Tell Our Sons No? | Teaching Boundaries and Resilience to Teen Boys

    Have you ever felt guilty for telling your son no? As moms, we want our sons to be happy, and sometimes it's easier to avoid the conflict than deal with the disappointment that comes from setting a boundary. But what if saying no is actually one of the most loving things we can do? In this episode of Raising Boys with Purpose™, we'll discuss why healthy boundaries are an essential part of parenting teen boys and young men. You'll learn how boundaries help build emotional maturity, resilience, gratitude, self-control, and respect for others. We'll also look at the story of Adonijah, the son of King David, and what can happen when a child grows up without learning healthy limits. If you've ever struggled with guilt after telling your son no, this episode will encourage you to see boundaries not as punishment, but as preparation for adulthood. 📖 Scriptures Referenced 1 Kings 1:6 "His father never rebuked him by asking, 'Why do you behave as you do?'"
