Product Description: Parenting is more than using your power to get children to behave in certain ways. Parenting is all about the exposure and change of the child's heart. When the heart of a child changes the behavioral change that is needed will last. This is a great conference for parents raising children from age toddler through teen.
Learn how to be an instrument of heart changing grace in the little moments of life that God will give you with your children. Paul Tripp will begin with giving you a picture for God's design for the family. Because if you don't understand the family; you will never understand parenting. Then, Paul will help you to understand the life transforming and agenda setting things that the Bible says about the heart. Then, he will apply the principles about the family and the heart to the three primary stages of parenting.
In each stage Paul will give you the key issue of focus and practical steps for achieving what is important, at that particular stage of the child's growth and spiritual development. Paul will also help you to identify those places where you are in the way of what God is calling you to do rather than being part of it by helping you to locate your own heart issues.

“This conference aimed at our hearts and drove us to see our need for Christ, while also equipping us with practical steps to implement. Paul’s delivery combed the seriousness of parenting with laughter and confessional examples from his own life. We have purchased several resources and look forward to tapping into Paul Tripp Ministries in the future.” - Dax Gibson, Christ Community Presbyterian Church, Lakeland, FL
"This stuff is profound. What you get in this seminar is not a list of techniques and “to dos.” Paul Tripp helped me to see how to use every single interaction with my child to bring her to Jesus. He helped me understand how parenting is designed to guide a child into life-changing appropriation of the gospel. Don’t get me wrong: this is not about getting your child to “pray the sinner’s prayer” at some time in their life. This is about a child who encounters a living Redeemer, and who grows up into a living and real faith in him. My wife and I will view this material over and over." - Jim Weidenaar, Staff, wtsbooks.com
"Outside the bible, the best resource we have on the topic of parenting... Oh how I wish I had seen this 7 years ago when the Lord gave me my first child! How thankful I am to have it now. I am praying that the Lord will use this promotion to get this DVD into the hands of as many parents as possible."
