What if the real battle in parenting isn’t bad behavior, but lost hearts?

In this episode of Called to Parent, we walk through Chapter 7 of Paul David Tripp’s Parenting and explore why kids don’t just need rules, consequences, or better habits — they need shepherding. Drawing from the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and prodigal son, we talk about autonomy, self-sufficiency, and why parenting requires more than managing behavior.

This conversation is honest, practical, and encouraging for parents navigating chaos, defiance, and the daily tension between control and grace. It’s a reminder that parenting isn’t about winning power struggles, but about pointing our kids toward lasting transformation.
