Biblical Parenting Resources

Posted under Family, Interesting Stuff

This fall at East Side Jamie and I led our Wednesday night adult study through Tedd Tripp’s Shepherding A Child’s Heart.  I think it is one of the best things out there dealing with what it means to parent biblically. We also recommend working through the companion Parent’s Handbook as it allows parents to dig much deeper into the foundational biblical principles for shepherding our children.  In addition, Tedd and Margy Tripp also have a newer book out called Instructing A Child’s Heart that we highly recommend.  Parents will greatly benefit from reading and working through these books more than once.  You might even consider going through them once a year for refreshing.

We also recommend watching the following five sessions from the recent Biblical Parenting Conference at Mars Hill Church in Seattle. In the videos Tedd teaches the foundational concepts for shepherding a child’s heart.(advice – in order to play a second video in this post after watching a previous one…you’ll probably need to refresh the page first.)
