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

Description

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/ [https://www.instagram.com/raisingboyswithpurpose/] Facebook Group: 👉 https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingboyswithpurpose [https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingboyswithpurpose] Facebook Page - Brooke Lynn: 👉  https://www.facebook.com/BrookeLynnParentingCoach [https://www.facebook.com/BrookeLynnParentingCoach] YouTube: 👉  https://www.youtube.com/@RaisingBoyswithPurpose [https://www.youtube.com/@RaisingBoyswithPurpose]   About Podcast:  Raising Boys with Purpose™ is a Christian parenting podcast for moms raising teen boys and young men.

How to Stay Connected with Your Teen Son | The Power of Quality Time | 20 | Summer Replay

Are you struggling to stay connected with your teen son as he grows more independent? As we wrap up our Summer Replay series, I'm sharing one final conversation from earlier this year. My family has been such a blessing over the past couple of weeks, and I'm grateful you joined me for these replay episodes. Whether you're hearing this one for the first time or listening again, I hope it encourages you as you continue raising your son with purpose. As boys move through the teenage years, their schedules fill up, their friendships deepen, and their need for independence increases. For many moms, this shift can feel like distance—but it doesn’t have to mean disconnection. In this episode of Raising Boys with Purpose™, we’re talking about quality time with your teen son—what it really looks like during this stage of life and how it can strengthen your relationship as he grows into a young man. This episode is part of the Mom’s Perspective™ series inspired by The 5 Love Languages of Teenagers by Gary Chapman, focusing on how spending intentional, meaningful time together helps build trust, improve communication, and create a lasting connection. In this episode, you’ll learn: * What “quality time” actually means for teen boys * How to create space for real conversations (without pressure) * Ways to stay connected while respecting your son’s independence * How to shift from parenting a child to building a relationship with a young man If you’ve ever wondered how to maintain a strong relationship with your son during the teen years, this episode will give you practical encouragement and a fresh perspective.   💬 Join the Community Connect with other moms raising boys and continue the conversation: 👉 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingboyswithpurpose [https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingboyswithpurpose]   👉 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/BrookeLynnParentingCoach [https://www.facebook.com/BrookeLynnParentingCoach]  📲 Let’s Connect on Instagram Daily encouragement, quotes, and behind-the-scenes: 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raisingboyswithpurpose/ [https://www.instagram.com/raisingboyswithpurpose/] 🎧 Listen now and start building a connection that lasts into adulthood.   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.

46 | How to Raise Patriotic Sons | Teaching Teens Gratitude & Love for Country

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, this special Mom's Perspective episode explores how everyday family traditions can help shape grateful, responsible young men. Growing up in a small town gave me an appreciation for community that I didn't fully understand until I moved away. 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. As Christian moms, we have the opportunity to model gratitude, respect, and hope as we prepare our sons for adulthood.
