#1209: Do Not Fear

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health issues of boys today. But why are boys so afraid? First, society has made a sport of putting men down. Many women think that in order to be empowered, they need to prove that men are beneath them. Second, our enemy, Satan, knows that if boys believe they are weak and not needed, they will not accomplish God’s purpose for their lives. As parents we must be counter-cultural. Find something positive to compliment your son on, and remind him of how valuable he is. Remind him of what God says in Isaiah 41:13- “For I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand, and says, do not fear.” To learn about raising boys to be godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
