------------------

Raising boys in today's culture can feel both rewarding and overwhelming. As parents navigate conversations around identity, character, confidence, and faith, many are asking the same question: What do our sons need most from us during these formative years?

In this episode, Diane sits down with author and mom of six, Molly DeFrank, to discuss her book, Mothering Boys: 8 Things Your Son Needs from You Before He Turns 10. Together, they explore the unique role mothers play in shaping their sons' hearts, helping them develop resilience, courage, emotional strength, and a strong biblical foundation.
