Jerrad sits down with Paul David Tripp to talk about the real goal of parenting. Paul shares why behavior change isn’t enough and how heart transformation only happens through God. They talk about what gets in the way, how parents often carry pressure they were never meant to hold, and why grace is what shapes lasting change.
Tune in to hear how lasting change in your home starts with trust in God, not perfect parenting.
