You know, the U.S. Census Bureau reports that only 18% of American homes consist of a mother, father, and child. That’s an incredibly sad statistic.

It means that kids in over 100 million households don’t have the loving influence of either a mother or a father.

More often than not, the father is the one missing from the home. This leaves boys without a role model and without a father’s guidance and correction.

Whether or not your son has the benefit of godly influences within the home, it’s important to provide him qualified mentorship.

The more your son sees how a man of character acts, talks, and serves, the more he’ll want those same biblical values in his own life.
