Summary

In this podcast, I'm talking more about our boys and what they really need! We will be focusing specifically on Jr.High/High School ages. There are lots of practical ideas, but more than anything, I want you, as moms, to be encouraged. They say the mom's heart is the child's classroom and this is why I often spend time speaking to that. If your hearts are thriving, your children and your homeschooling will be thriving as well! God's principles are timeless and hold true across the board, but the method to walk in obedience to those principles can vary from family to family. Please listen in, I think you are going find that God has, in fact, been speaking to your heart about your boys. My prayer is that this podcast will give help give you the courage to move forward in faith for their hearts and yours!

0:00.0	Hey everyone. This is Durenda Wilson. Welcome to this week's podcast. If you don't know me
0:14.3	already, I'm married to Daryl. We have been married for 28 years. We've got eight kids,
0:19.9	ages 13 to 26, and four grandkids. We have been
0:24.2	homeschooling over 22 years. And out of our eight kids, five of them are boys. So I thought it would be
0:31.7	fun and encouraging to you and for me to talk about what that has looked like for us and hopefully give you some
0:40.2	encouragement as you're raising and homeschooling your boys. Today I'm specifically going to be
0:45.1	talking about junior high and high school ages. Last week I talked about elementary school
0:50.0	age and then the week before I kind of just talked about boys in general called the
0:54.8	distinctiveness of boys. So if you want to, I think it would be great if you went back and
1:00.8	listened to those two because there's a lot in both of those podcasts that I think you
1:04.5	would be encouraged by. So the pastor asked, what do you think our society portrays, models, and says a man is or should be?
1:17.0	Our married daughter, Jenna, answered this way. I think society asks way too many different things of men.
1:24.5	Seems like all women want these days is a clean, shaven, bearded, fully mature
1:30.5	man child with a gay man sense of style, but obviously a masculine man who's perfectly honest
1:37.0	but also never says anything negative. Oh, and he has to want a family, but also not hold a woman
1:43.8	back or pressure her to have a family. And he has to want a family, but also not hold a woman back or pressure her to have a family.
1:46.7	And he has to have a traditional, but also open-minded, non-traditional, non-judgmental worldview.
1:54.3	When I read that, at first I just laughed and laughed and laughed.
1:59.0	But as I thought about it more, it was actually quite eye-opening and
2:05.2	disturbing. That's the only word that I can come up with. I just realized how much of a mixed
2:14.1	message, how many mixed messages our boys are receiving. I mean, think about this.
