Biblical Parenting

The following talk from Tedd Tripp, author and pastor, gives foundational teaching on raising your children in the image of Christ, based on scripture. This talk is incredibly valuable for parents forming the lives of children.

Key Points

- Instruction is key in influencing your children.
- We must teach our children to interpret life.
- Your life breathes life into your children.
- Failure in the home is the demise of a pure Christian witness.
- The home is the primary place for biblical teaching and instruction.
- Falling deeper in love with the Lord will provide you the strength and power needed to be the parent God has called you to be.
