Warning! Your son is being targeted.

A relentless enemy is trying to entice, trap, and destroy his heart and mind. This enemy hides in the shadows—yet is constantly attacking your son.

Who is this enemy? It’s pornography.

Here’s a shocking statistic. The top pornographic website has more visits each day than Netflix, Amazon, and Twitter—combined!

Don’t let pornography destroy your son’s heart, mind, and future. Help him develop a solid foundation in Scripture. Remind him that Philippians 4:8 instructs him to think on things that are true, noble, just, and pure.

It’s a tough world out there . . . especially for boys. That’s why Trail Life USA provides practical resources to help you along the way.

Boys are in trouble.

More than ever, they’re being intentionally misled and confused by an anti-Christian culture that wants to destroy their faith in Jesus Christ. Secular worldviews—including relativism and humanism—also want to devour your son’s heart and mind, and thereby control his thoughts and actions.

To withstand these attacks, boys need to be well-grounded in God’s Word.

Romans 12:2 says,
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

To withstand the enemy’s attacks, you’ve got to fight lies with truth. And the greatest of all weapons is the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God.

Question: Are you helping your son study God’s Word?

Boys crave action and adventure. That’s why video games and movies grab their attention. But too often, this content is crude, sensual, and violent.

Help your son find action and adventure in the pages of a good book.

But beware. Many of the books written specifically for boys carry unbiblical worldviews. Secular authors are strategically influencing boys in unhealthy ways.

Be careful about what your son reads. Encourage him to dive into fascinating stories about missionaries and evangelists. Additionally, many explorers, inventors, and scientists have great testimonies of faith. Their stories of reliance on God are just as exciting as fiction.

By inspiring your son through godly role models, you show him that the greatest adventure in life is found in following God.

It’s a sad fact that anxiety is attacking kids across the country.

According to the Center for Disease Control, 7.1% of children have been diagnosed with anxiety. That’s around 4.4 million kids!

There are many reasons for this anxiety, including fear of contracting COVID, worry about finding friends at school, and even dread about what the future holds.

As a parent, it’s important to remind your son or daughter that even when the world feels out of control, we can have confidence that God reigns supreme.

Joshua 1:9 says,
“Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

What a wonderful promise that God loves us and takes care of us.

Two simple words strike terror in a parent’s heart. Those words are: “Assembly Required.”

And yet, too often we ignore the instruction manual when putting together a bike or race car track for our son. We think, “Yeah, I can do this by myself!” But after hours of frustration, we swallow our pride and study the instruction manual to assemble the toy.

Parenting your son is also a complex process, especially these days with so many flashy distractions competing for his attention.

Thankfully, God’s Word provides detailed instruction on how to guide your son in the way he should go. Take time to read The Book of Proverbs together. There you’ll learn practical wisdom about how God wants us to grow and develop along the pathway of life.

Each day contains 1,440 minutes. That may seem like a bunch of time, but it passes by in a flash. The same can be said for weeks, and months, and even years.

Time is passing quickly . . . that’s a fact. But here’s another fact: You don’t want to look back on your parenting years with regret. Don’t allow the busyness of life to pull you away from investing time and attention in your son. Because—before you know it—your son will be grown up and heading out into the world.

Ephesians 5:16 reminds us to redeem the time because the days are evil. But how do we do this?

Begin by making sure your priorities are properly focused. Then, be intentional in spending one-on-one time with your son.
