60. Connecting with Your Sons with Christie Thomas

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Over the past few months, Bethany has had many conversations on parenting daughters. But, this week, Bethany is joined by her friend Christie for a discussion on parenting boys. Bethany and Christie discuss challenges, struggles, and the triumphs of parenting their sons.    This episode provides biblical ways to talk about the difficult encounters our children might face. Providing us with ways to help our sons work through anxiety, worry, and discouragement.    As parents, we may struggle with finding exactly how to guide our children through the tough moments. And Christie provides listeners with journals and books that help boys navigate those struggles with their parents.    Listeners are also reminded that we can bring it to God in those messy moments of parenthood and seek him for answers and guidance. And he will provide wisdom and guidance for the next moment. Invite God in, and remind your sons that God is also by their side during the great moments but also during the challenging ones, too.  We learn how to become students of our sons as they become men and how to fill them with the holy spirit during their faith walk.    Bethany welcomes you to share some of your favorite moments or maybe some of your most difficult moments of motherhood.    More About Christie:   Christie is a mom to three boys, author, and founder of Little Shoots Deep Roots.
