How do we raise emotionally strong boys? That’s the question we’re
kicking off 2023 with by inviting bestselling author and counselor
David Thomas onto the show! It’s commonly thought that boys aren’t
as emotional as girls, but that’s just not true! Our boys feel
things just as strongly as our girls do, and it’s up to us as
parents to raise boys who are emotionally and spiritually
healthy.
During their conversation Julia and David discuss how Jesus is the
perfect model of healthy masculinity, why it’s so important for
parents to do their own work, and when to seek professional help
for your kids. Together they share stories of parenting multiples
(twins and triplets!) and close the episode by challenging parents
to do the hard work of healing from their own brokenness in order
to promote health and healing for future generations. No matter
what stage of parenting you’re in—or if you’re simply wanting to
become a parent in the future—this is a can’t-miss episode packed
with godly wisdom and practical advice to kick off the new
year!
