I know a mom who denies God’s call upon her teenage boy and is constantly trying to lure him by feeding his flesh with earthly things so that he is satisfied with the things of the world and would not focus and pursue God’s call upon his life. She has been going to extents like getting young girls

Did I ever tell you about the young Zoad?
Who came to a sign at the fork of the road
