Paul Tripp | Parenting is Gospel Ministry

Parenting is much more than controlling the behavior of your children. Parenting is actually about heart exposure and heart change. We know only Jesus Christ can create the kind of lasting change in the human heart that will transform behavior. In this workshop, Paul Tripp (author of Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family) speaks on how to let the gospel shapes what you say and do with the children who have been entrusted to your care.

Heart-wrenching message. I am definitely guilty of being self-centered, self-righteous and proud. Forgive me Lord. I need your grace even more.

[@hannahkolehmainen]

I'm a mother of teenagers. This stuff is changing my life and my parenting. Thank you for your grace Lord. Thank you for a thousand thousand second chances! It's never too late.

[@LucasTarquino]

As my wife also said, this is the best message on parenting we have ever heard. I anticipate this will have a lasting positive impact on our parenting.

[@Psalm_27.4]

This message isn’t just good for parents. It’s needed in all relationships. Lord have mercy!!! This is a phenomenal message. So sad that it has so few views!!! Glory to God for his passion and his COURAGE to lay it down so straight!!! 🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾

What a kick in the guts...! I am doing everything I shouldn't as a parent. LORD, forgive me for my sin in parenting.

Praise the Lord he presented this video to you

[@Psalm_27.4]

@Megan Crilley You’re going to be OK, because you didn’t defend yourself. You admitted that you don’t have it all together. The Lord will put His arms around you and guide you through the harrowing process of parenting, especially in today’s culture. I’m not a parent, but this applies to me as well. Its impossible to be good on any level! It’s a blessing to see a man lay it down straight. It helps us get real. It also helps us to stop pretending we have to succeed. What he’s saying is that we need to realize how wrecked up we are ALL THE TIME and how much help we really need. I need more men like him in my life. 😏😏😔 God bless, you Sister in Christ. 🥰😘

Thank you Lord for enabling and blessing this man to continue to help us be wise and gracious parents. I repent of my tired, careless parenting which came from ceasing to depend on You in prayer.

Hi have you read “Shepherding a child’s heart” as well, I’m uncertain how to feel about it. Do you use the techniques on your children? How did they respond/ what were the results?

[@heatherpeterson4546]

@@thor5446 Yes, I read Shepherding a Child's Heart years ago and I highly recommend this book as being one of the best Biblical books on parenting. It changed my parenting for the good. I have nine children. Five biological, two adopted, two waiting to be adopted and two foster children. I was not raised in a Christian home so I knew what I did not want to do but did not know what to replace it with. This book helped me a great deal. Also, I attended his classes on this book in person. He is a great man as well as communicator.

[@heatherpeterson4546]

@@Racon-rk2pt No, their behavior is not changed immediately because heart change takes time. Behavior modification methods often do nothing to change the heart of a person. They merely teach the child to be more careful to not get caught or to curb their behavior so they can get an external reward. Discipling a child in prayer, confession, repentance and being sure to give the child the Biblical definition of their behavior helps bring heart change which is more lasting. As parents we have to teach a child who to love and what to love as well as good manners and socially acceptable behavior that makes us all look good. "I so love Jesus because...." One thing I love about God is.....I love order.....don't you? When things are out of order, I feel out of order. This will bring peace to our household....Let's see if we can bring a little Beauty to our home.....Do you know what I think is worth dying for? ......Oh, honey, the Truth is a treasure, NEVER, forget that!"

Thank you for this heart loved gospel . I am a mother of 3 grown kids now 40 years and 39 years old . I wish I would of knew this back then . I am thankful I can use this on my grandkids . There parents are deeply into learning biblical ways . Please pray for us that we may follow this path 🙏

This is the best message I have heard on parenting! The gospel in parenting in a nutshell. Wow, this hit me hard! I needed this. Thank you for sharing this.

[@jackiewright4402]

This man is so wise! Thank you Jesus for this message!

[@lolofosho3776]

I NEEDED to hear all of this. Thank you

[@Renewed85]

I am so convicted. This all just seems so much easier said than done.

[@alexeusebio7598]

I just wish there were scripture passages between his points. Proverbs 13:24 those who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discplone him. It is not an act of rage it is a form of discipline, if it is done properly with love... Shalom

[@rooftopworship]

Very convicting and encouraging! Sad that I didn't find this before. Someone told me about this, but I've been doing it all wrong! Lord have mercy! Applying what I'm learning

This was good and is just what we need, instead of always pointing the finger, sometimes we need a mirror.

I'm so guilty and needed to hear this.

Well, that was super powerful. Now I just need some more practical examples and application. And I desperately need to go get on my face.

I agree with this teaching. We basically reproduce who we are. It's okay to scream now 🙂 🙃

[@Mville88]

For a young child, how do you get them to understand grace versus "I can act this way and still get what I want" or "I can do this and I wont be punished for it."

[@GentleGiant4christ]

This video is great 😊

This is good stuff!

[@wayneemerson5651]

Brother, you made 'some' good points particularly about realizing our kids are 'just like their parents' and we don't need to beat them unnecessarily and in anger. BUT, you are off base by not mentioning 'spare the rod spoil the child, 'spanking in moderation' etc. Kids are not adults that we can rationalize with all the time. If a kid doesn't get that he/she can't run out in front of a car via trying to rationalize with them then we most definitely need to pop/spank/corporal punish them. I took what I thought was the 'good' in this sermon and will keep it top of mind. God bless you!

[@jjgems5909]

I think he distinguishes rage. “Yanking your child down the hallway” and “slapping them when they’re mouthing off” I don’t believe that is beneficial or biblical. It doesn’t mean children shouldn’t be spanked when a parent is calm and in control of their emotions and is able to explain to the child why they are spanking them. But spanking then in anger and in a fit of rage can lead to abuse.

[@jjgems5909]

His brother Tess Tripp also has a parenting book called shepherding a child that talks about this. But that was my impression from the sermon

[@Psalm_27.4]

@Wayne Emerson I don’t think his failure to mention “spare the rod, spoil the child,” in this seminar reveals being off base in the slightest. It’s clear Pastor Tripp is a no nonsense man by nature. I imagine that Pastor Tripp has spanked plenty in his parenting. His message in this teaching is far more profound than the rudiments of corporal punishment. Every adult knows how to administer spanking. VERY few know how to do what he challenges us to be.

@@thor5446 We had excellent results.. it’s biblical.. it must be done with, consistency, patience, love, prayer and in private as not to humiliate the child.. God’s Word is true.

This seems to be pretty much identical to the podcast video posted a few days before it.
