TMV: Episode 57 – Raising Boys – Part 2

Welcome back to the Mom Village! While our podcast is hosted by moms, today we have the dads with us, and they’re asking the questions. Joining us in conversation are Jimmy and Kristin Scroggins, Jismarie and Christian Ramos, and Eric and Kirra Kelly. Today’s topic is around teaching our kids to respect women. To kick off our conversation, we discuss some of the ways we model healthy spousal relationships within the home to give our kids something to aim for when they reach adulthood. Next, we talk about friendship between brothers and how to encourage them to be a team by speaking about them as though they are one before it is true. We dive into the role of church in supporting single parents and providing resources to guide our kids, and finish by acknowledging and celebrating God’s design for sexuality, and why, statistically, the most fulfilling relationships exist between married Christians. Join us to hear more today.
