What if I mess my kids up? What if I fail at my job? What if I’m actually doing it all wrong?   These are some of the “what if” questions that I wrestle with. I think we all have big “what if” questions, they’re all just a little different depending on our experiences, wiring, and situations.   Our kids have questions like this too and my guest today, Katy Boatman, is here to walk us through that. Katy is a writer and marketer, but her favorite role is being an aunt to Shelby, Blake, and Ellie. Katy has spent fifteen years mentoring girls through student ministry, and she is passionate about helping them understand who God is and reminding them they are not alone.   Katy’s devotional, You Can Trust, addresses many of the questions boys have from what if my team loses? to what if God changes his mind about me? And the answers always point back to God’s enduring faithfulness.   Today Katy and I are talking about preteen boys and the “what if” questions they wrestle with, the need kids have for stability and truth as they grow up and ask questions, how girls and boys learn about and respond to God differently, and the need for devotionals and other resources for preteen boys.   I hope this is helpful for both boy moms and girl moms, too! Girl moms, check out Katy’s devotional just for preteen girls!
