Becoming The Mom They'd Like to Follow for Your Sons and Daughters

In this episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes tackles Proverbs 31:3 which warns sons to keep themselves sexually pure and not waste their strength on women who ruin kings. As a mother of seven boys, Eileen shares her heart and practical strategies for raising sons who can see through seduction in a culture that praises women for showing skin and celebrates promiscuity. She breaks down five ways to be the mom your sons want to talk to about difficult topics like pornography, relationships, and sexual purity, starting with transparency about who you were before Christ so they never think you won't understand their struggles. Eileen shares her powerful prayer that love not be awakened in her sons until God brings the right person, and explains how she speaks Proverbs 6 and 7 over them from toddler-hood to help them recognize the characteristics of wayward women. She boldly redefines the term MILF as "Mom I'd Like to Follow," explaining her desire to be the kind of mother her sons' girlfriends and future wives want to emulate rather than compete with. Drawing from Life Skills International principles about unhealthy mother-son bonds, Eileen discusses preparing herself emotionally for the day when her sons' wives become their priority, and shares practical ways she's building relationships with potential future daughters-in-law while her boys are still young.

Discover how to raise sons who value purity and godly character in women while becoming the kind of mother both your children and their future spouses want to follow.
