Why doesn’t “that talk” ever seem to work? Why do the same struggles keep coming back again and again?

In this episode of Called to Parent, Andy and Jenna walk through Chapter 6 of Paul David Tripp’s Parenting and unpack one of the most freeing truths for exhausted parents: change is a process, not an event.

Together, they talk honestly about:

→ Why parents expect instant change (and why it leads to frustration)

→ How spiritual blindness affects both kids and parents

→ Why God designed parenting as a long-term, ongoing conversation

→ How to move from reactive parenting to intentional, grace-filled formation

→ Why patience, humility, and gentleness are not personality traits, but gifts of grace

If you’ve ever felt discouraged by repetition, slow growth, or unfinished progress in your kids—or yourself—this episode will remind you that God is at work, even when change feels painfully slow.
