What is your calling as a parent?

In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise up “good” children, it’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.

In this life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God’s plan for us as parents. Outlining fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God—grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.

Freed from the burden of trying to manufacture life-change in our children’s hearts, we can embrace a grand perspective of parenting overflowing with vision, purpose, and joy.

Join Kid’s Ministry Director, Ashley Lindner, as we discuss, in humility and grace, the principles found in this book. She’ll be joined by Michelle Schwake, a parent of young adults, to offer another perspective from someone whose beyond the days of raising small kids. We want to build a community of parents, supporting one another and striving to follow God’s plan for our families. We’ll limit the discussion to one hour because we know families are busy. We will discuss two chapters each week and end each time in prayer. This study and discussion is open to parents of infants through high school. We are working to provide childcare so that both parents can attend – we will let you know when/if it is available.

We encourage each participant/couple to purchase the book, “Parenting: 14 Gospel Principals That Can Radically Change Your Family,” by Paul David Tripp, available at most online book retailers for $14 or the audiobook which is free. We never want money to be a limiting factor in whether you can participate in a class. If you would like assistance with the purchase price of this book, please contact Ashley Lindner at 218-327-9343.
