The Fruit of Child Training Webinar - with Michael Pearl

Nathan, Shalom and Shoshanna join their parents to discuss what it was like growing up in the Pearl home and how they are benefiting as adults from the fruit of their training. Enjoy as they share some of the most memorable and impressionable moments from their childhood and how they caught much of what they learned from their parents. You (and Mike and Debi) may be surprised! See what is happening now with their own lives, families and careers. "For every tree is known by his own fruit" (Luke 6:44). See the fruit of training children in the way they should go and judge for yourself.

Enjoyed. The husband issue is not always possible though. My husband, and father of my daughter, came home from work one day in 2006 and announced that he had always wanted to be a woman. He immediately moved to San Francisco and had a sex change. There was nothing I could do. I contacted our priest but nothing could be done. My daughter is now 15, and we are ok, but sometimes there is no control, no matter how much you pray and try to make things right.

[@johnnynesbit8289]

God doesn't control people like puppets and we can't expect ourselves too either.

[@laurasavage1528]

Is he still in that lifestyle?

[@fehyndana7725]

Yes and same with abusive or addicted husbands. You cannot pray the abuse away. You have to get out.

[@laurasavage1528]

Excellent training information from a wonderful, Godly family!

[@relentlessrhythm2774]

What they said about a lot of women that are labeled as "sweet" is correct. I'm going to be very honest as one of those women. I'm not genuinely sweet but rather a people pleaser, which stems from fear. On the inside, I'm bitter about the way people take advantage of me since I don't have much of a backbone. I cringe when people call me sweet. They call me that less now because I don't force myself to smile as much as I used to. I don't agree with every single thing this couple teaches, but I'm glad they mentioned this.

[@johnnhymiller9174]

God Bless and Protect this family!!!🙏

[@peakflow1085]

Only one question. What would you do, those who follow all instructions of this book or try it, if your child would be gay or transgender? Just a question because most of you are very religious and seem loving but very strict towards their children

[@laurasavage1528]

I would teach my children the Bible but if he or she was gay I would not try to stop him. I would still love him as much as ever.

[@cheryl71000]

It's very obvious to me, that you are a loving parents and family. Never losing your temper and actions have consequences. You are very very honest, to the point of bluntness, watched lots of your videos. You treat your children differently to their personalities. You pay attention to your children and their hobbies and education. I have quite a few of your books, it always comes across as a happy family. I love listening to one of your son's reading to train a child on audible. He could make a career out of it, such a soothing voice. I'm from north east England thousands of miles from where you live. Different culture, and nationality. But my goodness it's so obvious you love your family. Total patience and interest in your children. Sadly, there are people who can't train dogs or horses with loving kindness and discipline. Give me a child till he is seven years old and I will show you the man, is very true. .

It’s so sweet how Shalan and Shana compliment each other. One of them introverted, one of them extroverted and one in the background, one right at front

[@randydueck80]

Hey I'm from Belize. that is so interesting. Not a lot of people know about our little country.

[@NYTruthseeker]

Beautiful family testimony; the fruits of your lives are so clear. Love the story about the climbing of steps. My daughter did climb a lot as a 2 year old and did fall twice, and this correction technique would have made a huge difference.

[@TheU97586]

This is some awesome content. If all parents would think like they do, things wouldn’t be out of control like they are. Greetings from Los Angeles…where things are really jacked up

[@kh9993]

I'm so glad this video is here. I just watched the Shiny Happy People documentary about the Duggars, Bill Gothard and the IBLP. They showed a short clip of Michael Pearl and it seemed that you advocated abuse. I can see now that you show love first not abuse.

[@angelachoquevallejos1505]

Ojalá pudieran subtitular al español por favor, para la población de habla hispana. Gracias

[@travelwithme2830]

If the good parents don't train and discipline their Children they dont love them and reserve for jail. We need millions of good parents like you to build nation in honesty and integrity. People of God never quite with all those media bad report I have never saw anything good from media .Keep it up. God will take care and pray for them who have not understood their ministry.

[@bonniefertig1642]

We all have to choose. If your child chooses sin you cannot control thoughts which can be sinful.

[@annadaltonferreira8453]

Love you ❤️ and your family because ❤️ we have a God that lives us

[@Coursedirectorperth]

Thanks for this video

[@3733lori]

I love Mr & Mrs pearl! I wish I could know you personally and have you as my mentors in life. Loved this video and your teaching. I did read no greater joy years ago when raising my 2 kids. Watching this video makes we wish I had 5 kids and lived in the country. My kids - 19& 22 are scared to have kids cuz they look around at our society and are disgusted at what the kids are doing & what we have become in this society. I will share your books and videos with them to give them hope. They Love God and my husband and I are so blessed to have such wonderful kids like we do. Keep your videos coming!!! Thank you.

[@kimberlydelagarza8899]

It's driving me crazy how the media picks apart your videos and only shows their side and portray Michael as a monster. Honestly I have never heard of IBLP before until I watched the Duggers Shiny Happy People but to me it just sounds like good christian people. I could see right through this Docuseries bull crap. Now I'm not saying I agree with everything that IBLP teaches but teaching your kids to be respectful, well behaved humans is not a bad thing. Spanking your kids is not a bad thing, abuse is bad spanking and discipline is not! I will definitely be getting To Train up a Child and reading it for myself and deciding for myself and family if we will be using it.

[@investigacaobiblica1611]

Put subtitles, please?

[@cheerfulsatanist]

you're trying to discourage them from reaching and grabbing things when they're biologically hardwired to be doing that it's how they're learning and gaining fine motor control and they don't have the sophistication of higher thought process is to be able to differentiate between what you don't want them to grab at and what is acceptable for them to grab at. realistically the only things that you should be actively preventing them from reaching for things that are substantial danger to them and at that point that sort of makes the question why were they there in the first place? It's also really freaking weird that a video with this strong dislike to like ratio doesn't have a single negative or even neutral, comment.

[@starmirzai906]

But the stairs are dangerous… why are you so outraged that they want to protect their children from falling down the stairs? Motor skills are important, but so are their lives, they are many more opportunities to learn motor skills without risking the child’s life, now I noticed your user name, it might’ve been a joke but those things are nothing to joke about, trust me hell is not a place where you want to be, you think if God wanted us to have justice, he would send us to a place that will give us The wages of our sins, not a party, imagine a speck of Sand compared to the entire universe, what would that speck of sand be in comparison to the universe? nothing right, now imagine that intensified, imagine your life compared to eternity, eternity! So do you want to thrive in this world now or eternity? because I tell you very truly that the second you give your life to CHRIST from then on it will be a eternity of flourishing life that’s what GOD is LIFE, GOD is life if you want life you need GOD Now don’t get me wrong it will not be sunshine and rainbows all the time, once you give your life to Christ there will be trials and tribulations James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." I love you and so does God, you don’t know when you’re going to die, you could die today And I hope today you got a little fear in your heart, which is a good thing, for example, if you were on a cliff you would have fear, now the feeling might not feel that good but it is a good thing because it’s telling you to back up from the cliff and its saving your life Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Repent( turn away) from your sins and not only believe God but also put all your trust and faith and all in Christ and also believe that He died on the cross for all of our sins and for all of us and rose on the third day to prove He’s the son of God (God in the flesh) and that He has authority over death and all Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding Hebrews 3:15 As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."

[@andrealuvshouse]

Agree! Now cue up the zealots who never heard of baby gates. And bring on the zealots who never heard of just supervising your own children when in the home of someone who hasn’t babyproofed their home. Geez. My mother took a flyswatter to my bottom one time in my life, and it was for something far worse than climbing the stairs. How did I survive without getting smacked every week? 😅😅

[@fehyndana7725]

Do these adults look like they lack fine motor skills? You think they are incapable of grabbing things without letting them drop because they where taught not to dangerous things by their parents? Your claim is ridiculous

[@lynnjaxful]

You are obviously a wonderfully, blessed family. I love your teachings. Good job! Do not let your heart be troubled. God loves you and you will have many crowns to lay at his feet. Thank you for all you do!!

[@alaskanmom2659]

I absolutely love this! I wish y’all would have a youtube of your lives and post like once a week! To see you living day to day like the Duggar family does. I’m sure it would help so many young parents and even veteran parents like myself who were raised being abused and not heard or cared for. Blessings to you and your family❤️

[@AlanaL3]

I'm a believer and have 2 kiddos (7&6 both boys) we are completely on board with training our children, as the word instructs us to, and spanking when necessary. You guys sound like you believe there is a guaranteed outcome though. A formula. Do you? If you do this and this with your children then you will have beliebers? I know we are to point them to the Lord and exemplify Christ's love daily, but only the Lord can change their hearts. So are you saying there's a formula, or just these are some great guidelines and all we can do is obey the Lord, raise our kiddos in the fear and admonition of the lord and pray pray pray, share the gospel with them, God does the rest. Interested to hear your thoughts.

[@debrazammuto1026]

Your integrity and love for your children in your raising them to be free is an example that challenge parents. It is not easy and you need to be willing to put your children first above all. I appreciate all your books and teaching. Haven't heard about you in years until this came across on u tube. It is a blessing to watch and hear this today.

[@inka365]

The salt and light of this world, great encouragement to me personally im glad you guys are around:)

[@thesubmissivewoman]

Praise the Lord- wonderful video! Thank you for posting this!

[@tonymullims4484]

Watching you and your family you done something right I can see love in your family cnn needs to broadcast this

[@dallascurrence6781]

Would you guys please do a webinar with all of the Pearl children at some point?

[@Miss_Loving]

Wonderful webinar. God bless you in Jesus name!❤️❤️❤️

[@rebecaapf754]

Spanking is illegal where I live... I guess I'm glad about that

[@EllaMast]

God bless the whole family,thanks for sharing .I first read your book ,to train up a child ,6 years ago and wished I had it before we had children . We left the amish in february, so now I can listen to your wonderful videos.😊❤

[@jesussaves8502]

It's sad that this family was attacked, if this was not true. I've heard rumors about them, but something in my spirit did not sit right and I don't believe it was true- to be honest. I didn't know that person very well, neither do I know the Pearls well at all, so I'm not really sure but this was interesting. - also, I find it really hard to believe that the parents NEVER had one argument. Come on now.

[@thinginc]

Thank you all for posting this. The vision that you give us young people is so powerful and especially for those of us who did not have a good example growing up. It is literally shaping our hopes and dreams of what we want and of what is possible when two people love and obey God! I thank God for you and for you letting Him speak the truth though you. I pray that my family by Gods grace will have the same testimony. -Eli

[@bjwm1982]

I'm so glad I watched this. At 19:47, I was reminded of an experience in a college Educational Psychology course when the professor asked the class to "vote" on several issues by standing on one side of the classroom or the other. The 5th or so issue posed was "Is it ever acceptable to beat a child?" and roughly 25 college students (including yours truly) were practically sitting in each others' laps in the center desk. Before the shocked professor could open his mouth, a vocal student...

[@katstwinkle]

My father occasionally spankeed myself and my brother. With the benefit of hindsight,I appreciate that whenever he did this,it was indeed,deserved. So,I guess I've just been lucky with my own two children. I havnever found any cause to physically punish them.

[@BigSmashKing]

I stand by the pearls I am a mama of six children so far and training absolutely works every time you train

[@CC4ever994]

May god continue to bless your family and protect your family x

I can't wait to buy your book Pastor Pearl.

[@fleta85]

Praise God for what you do and teach!!! My children are a joy to me and I a joy to my children thanks to your resources! Our family is so blessed by you!!!!!

[@cahowclan4]

thank you for doing this. Would love to see all the Pearl's & hear more from your growing up life. I know that puts you into a more vulnerable position, but you know how to handle it so it seems. I would not necessarily make the little children vulnerable on this video, but the adult kids talking together with the joy you share would be fun & insightful. Kind of like the 'Walton's'~ smirk~

[@SarahL.22]

The book is great. I never thought anything bad of it when i read it 5-6 yrs ago. It truly works and changes happen quickly. But being consistent is the key. It doesn't work otherwise.

[@galdoo]

Thank you ver much for this video. Like to see a family sit together talking, laughing and sharing wisdom. This helped me to learn a lot about my childhood and my parents.

[@evelynholmes7105]

I found this video. ,,,just want to say ,,,, I am so sorry that you had to go through that on that TV show,,,,that is awful,,,,,I don't know ya'll this is the first time seeing ,some of your kids,,,,they all are so beautiful,,,so don't worry about that fake dishonest news show,,,,,,,,I wish you could sue them tho,,,,,,well I had to get on and tell you folks ,,I still love ya'll, I love your teaching,,,God bless your whole family,,😇😇🙏,,,,,,

[@maryelkins736]

Such a beautiful blessing just to know you guys and to see you in presence among each other the love of our father through you and the piece that comes over when you see all of you together.

[@evelynholmes7105]

Ps,,I wish I had read your book when I was raising my 4 kids,,,but they turned out ok,,

[@hollybailey8249]

I had read your book before the media started slandering The No Greater Joy Ministries. I absolutely love your book, and your family. Praise God for your guidance. Thank you!

[@ericholland3676]

We love your family. The media is vicious. Truth, isn't anywhere near their goal...at least if it doesn't fit their narative.

[@bjwm1982]

said that she assumed we were all there for the same reason she was: that we recognized a distinction between "hitting" and "spanking" that he didn't, and we refused to be coerced into lumping the two together. Mr. Pearl framed it perfectly: If these people honestly believe that spanking is synonymous with hitting, then why do they feel the need to "correct" us whenever we use the word "spank"? I also laughed out loud at the idea that animals don't use corporal punishment. How naive!!!

[@ashlieleavelle]

My parents believed in training. I was spanked when I disobeyed. Never abused. We were spanked in love. By learning to obey and respond to a parents voice hopefully one day that child will obey the Holy Spirit. Obedience needs to be quick and done thoroughly. I am thankful for the Pearls who believe in child training. I believe in spanking and in child training. Our society is Godless and so many children control the parents. Praise God, His way of discipline and correction works! If parents did this more, we would see a huge change in children across the nation. Child training works.

[@wendyplude2312]

I sure wished I knew about this 22 years ago it sure would have helped me a lot, but I am learning. How to child train with my grandson it's been a blessing thank you for everything

[@coolwater55]

Sorry to hear you were exposed to the duplicity and sad state of media reporting. While some media can a fair job most do not go to the source nor research, instead they can damage peoples reputations or hurt people or twist words. . To "discipline" means to teach. Some people believe discipline means hitting, but that is the lazy persons way to raising children. To discipline takes way more time, energy, consistency. You use the word "training" the same manner as the word "discipline" was intended. To teach = as Jesus said. :)

[@winterwolf2012]

If I need to kill for food, so be it. I really hate killing another living creature, no joy in it at all!!!

[@only4ulord1322]

[@cleetaylor50]

I heard the things the media were saying about your book, and about you. My 1st reaction was horror. I bought your book and read it myself, and now I know that the media lied about you. I wish your book had been available when my children were young. May God Bless you and your family.

[@thecrunchyconservative]

This video is awesome. Thank you for the inside look at the love in your family. My husband I bought the book and truly value the instruction. Please know you are helping people even with all the bad talk of the media and other people that just don't understand. Thank you.

[@creativelyunoriginal]

I actually had a girl dump me because I told her I listen to you guys on youtube lol. I couldnt belive someone who claimed to love God could be so closed minded and so gullible. It was for the best though because I later met my wife and we both love you guys.

[@OrthodoxJourney359]

Michael Pearl is great man of God. He has a spirit that you can tell just by his videos that he cares and wants to help people, not hurt people. God bless you Michael Pearl.

[@janieclawson9996]

I have enjoyed " The Pearls" books and materials for several years and am thankful for the insight.

[@jimwilson9371]

I am loving finding these older videos. Y'all have done it right God Bless.

[@olipoulsen]

Wonderful video. As my parents sum up good child training: "Boundaries of love". My mom though dont thinks spanking is necessary, cause you can make your point clear with good communication. Like with Shoshanna, I never remember a spanking, and am seeking to walk the way of our Lord Jesus Christ in all manners of faith and practice. To God be all the glory! Thank you for the video. I would love to see more :)

[@readGodsword]

Thank you for you work. To Train Up A Child is THE most helpful parenting book I have ever read. My only regret is that I did not read it sooner. I give out copies and so appreciate you sharing your knowledge along with God's word.

I know that the Pearls have the best intentions. It won’t be for me but I can see that they love their kids

[@joannadadah2544]

I like what this gentle spirot girl says, she is right, some kids do no need spanking, only guaiding, some kids are rebelious, my niece is trying me, checking how much she can get from her God mother, she is being told I am her another mommy. She is 5 now, i spank her once - when she was 4, acting like a brat, hitting me with everything she could catch. After spanking she was shocked coz my brother and sister in law never spanked her. She changed her attitude immidately, she was very sweet and lovely later. I wanna add that I talk soft and act soft toward everybody, I also played with her, doing craft and cooking together. When I left - she was saying my brother she misses me and asking when will I come. Child loves discipline , once u doscipline your child u will know.

[@springoflifeeternal]

God bless(ed) the Pearls.

I cant believe even 1 person gave a thumbs down??? How many people work for Cnn??? Great message. Praise the Living God

[@Demonoicgamer666]

If you can’t discipline kids without hitting them you’re a bad parent.

I am in support of ur dad these people r crazy he preaches from the Bible

[@kiowa1627]

It goes to show you being poor is being rich

[@setxapart5505]

Older video, but I am new to the whole false accusation against your family. What I have gathered from opposing opinions is that your accusers are either anti family, or modernist, adolescents that have been pulled into this "Dad and Mom are wrong, but my professor is right", mentality. You all are loved and appreciated, and I greatly favor anyone who believes and knows that God preserved His Word, and will teach it as the final authority.
