This episode is about creating a space and mindset that is hospitable towards our sons. Their mindsets and energy levels, the way in which they are wired, are different from our daughters, different from ourselves and in a society that prioritises soft, social skills the energy and aggression that little boys carry is often misunderstood and punished instead of being channelled and regulated to help our sons thrive in life.  Episode 94 is a practical guide for raising sons in a world where masculinity has become a confusing subject, and the role of men has changed drastically in the last 100 years. Never before have our sons needed our support in becoming great men, and this podcast is an excellent place to start.  Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!

Are you a boy mom? Raising boys in today's cultural climate is a challenge. Boys are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed—when they are simply doing what their Creator wired them to do. As moms of boys, we can struggle to understand them and respond in a way that will encourage them toward the kind of manhood God has in mind. Durenda Wilson is truly an expert on boys! In today's episode and her book Raising Boys to Men, Durenda shares her almost three decades of experience raising and homeschooling her five boys. She brings wisdom and perspective that will inspire moms to see their sons in afresh and hopeful way, so moms can raise the next generation of boys to be courageous men of faith and action. If you're a boy mom and have read ALL the books, yet wonder if the authors ever actually raised boys, this is the practical and real book you're looking for! Durenda and her husband Darryl are parents to 8 children and have become great friends to Emily and Wiggy. We are SO grateful for their inspiration to parents and their wise council.

We feel guilty because we simply can't meet all the needs of everyone and everything around us. We're not giving our kids the education they deserve. We're not keeping up with the house. We can't live up to the demands of motherhood. Our husbands need us. Our family needs us. It's never ending and we are left feeling like a failure. Well, it's time to let go of that guilt. Durenda Wilson, joins Yvette Hampton to encourage us with truth, scripture, and stories of how the Lord has worked through her obedience to home educate and disciple the hearts of her children.  This episode is an excerpt from Durenda's session for the Homegrown Generation Family Expo.
