Raising Godly Sons in a Porn Saturated World: What Moms Need to Teach Early

Moms raising sons today are navigating a spiritual war zone - where porn is normalized and easily accessible.

Over 90% of boys will be exposed to porn before 18; many before 12.

Our sons' hearts are battlegrounds. There is most definitely a battle waging - and sin desires to reign in their hearts. We must teach them sin is a predator, a revolutionary, a rebel that desires to take over. They are called to resist!

Romans 6:16: “You are slaves of the one you obey...

In this video, mommas, we are discussing the reality that all of our sons - as they explore their bodies - will discover that certain sensations feel good. Moreover, how do we equip them to avert their eyes and protect their hearts when they are faced with sin?

As moms, how we do we enter this awkward space, open up conversation and share a godly perspective with our kids? To equip them to appreciate the power they have in Christ over sin? In a world where porn is normalized and easily accessible, how do we navigate this spiritual war zone faithfully - not fearfully?
