What do boys really need from their moms in the early years—and what happens if they don’t get it? In this episode, author and mom of six, Molly DeFrank, shares what she’s learning about raising emotionally durable, spiritually grounded boys in a world full of screens, distractions, and low expectations. Drawing from her latest book Mothering Boys, Molly encourages moms to reclaim the precious window of influence before their sons turn ten—to lay a foundation for faith, resilience, and character that lasts a lifetime.

With wisdom rooted in Scripture and honest empathy for the everyday challenges of parenting, Molly speaks directly to the weary mom who wonders if the little things she’s doing really matter. From emotional health to digital habits, masculinity to worldview formation, Molly reminds us that a mom’s intentional love and training can have a generational impact. If you're raising boys—or just need a reminder that your presence and purpose matter—this conversation is for you.
