How do we raise boys who grow into strong, emotionally grounded, spiritually anchored men?
Podcast with Will Cole, Mental Health Counselor at Crawford Clinics
In a world sending mixed messages about masculinity, parents are facing a new challenge: How do we raise boys who grow into strong, emotionally grounded, spiritually anchored men?
In this powerful episode, Will Cole, mental health counselor at Crawford Clinics specializing in healthy masculinity, breaks down the essential ingredients boys need to develop into men of courage, compassion, confidence, and character.
Drawing from biblical wisdom, clinical insight, and years of counseling boys, teens, and men, Will shares:
What boys need emotionally from mom and dad at each stage of development
How to nurture a boy’s sensitivity without weakening his masculine strength
The role of fathers (and father figures) in shaping identity, security, and calling
How to help boys process emotions in healthy ways instead of shutting down
Why discipline + connection creates the safest foundation for masculine maturity
How to build resilience, grit, and godly confidence in a generation facing anxiety and confusion
The spiritual formation boys need to hear God’s voice and walk in purpose
Will also covers the dangers of shame-based parenting, overprotection, and cultural stereotypes that wound a boy’s sense of self—and shows parents how to replace them with affirmation, boundaries, strength, and grace.
Whether you’re raising sons, mentoring young men, leading youth, or simply wanting to understand masculinity through a healthier lens, this episode is a hope-filled guide to helping boys become the men God designed them to be: steady, secure, wholehearted, and unshakeably rooted in identity and purpose.
