In this episode of Called to Parent, Pastor Mark and Jenn dive into Chapter 4 of Paul David Tripp’s "Parenting" to talk about one of the hardest lessons for moms and dads: you can’t actually change your kids.

From sleepless newborn nights to strong-willed toddlers, they open up about learning the difference between authority and power—how God calls parents to lead with love and guidance rather than fear, bribery, or shame.

Together, they unpack why temporary control never leads to lasting heart change and how prayer, patience, and grace are the only real paths toward transformation.
