Dear Reader,

How are you?

I raised my two youngest sons completely without their father. I often felt the weight of trying to fill a role I wasn’t designed to fill. We are mothers, and as much as we try, we can’t be "daddy” as well. Nature just doesn’t work that way.

But over the years, I learned that even though we are mothering solo, we don't have to parent alone. I discovered how to co-parenting with God.

In the latest episode of SoloMom! Talk, I dive deep into how we can empower our sons to build a real, lasting relationship with God, especially when an earthly father is absent or not a positive role model.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Reframing God’s Character: Helping our sons know God as a loving Father, distinct from any earthly disappointment.
• The Power of Godly Mentorship: Why finding a strong, rooted mentor makes all the difference (and a personal story about how a youth pastor changed my youngest son’s life).
• Bible Role Models & Integrity: Looking at real stories like David and Joseph to teach humility and character.
• Prioritizing Community: How to help our sons surround themselves with the right friends and why building a habit of open conversation with them is so vital.
• Encourage Worship: Encourage him to build his own relationship with God through regular prayer and Bible reading.

Whether you feel fully equipped or completely overwhelmed today, I want to remind you that you can point your son to a Father who will never leave him.
