Practical Help for Grace-Centered Parenting 
How do you tell your children about the Gospel and all of its implications when they steal or cheat or lie? In this session, we will go through very practical help on how to raise your children with the Gospel in the center.

Salvation is Always “of the Lord”
Many parents carry the burden of believing their child's salvation depends on them. In this session, we will discuss the freedom that comes from believing salvation is always of the Lord.

Is Your Child a Pharisee or a True Believer?
How do you know if your child has been gripped by the message of grace? In this session, we will explore the reasons for teaching your children to obey. We will also explain why mere obedience and outward goodness isn't enough. Every child needs a Savior, and in this session, we will talk about how to share that truth with your kids.

What is Christian Parenting?
How is your parenting different than a Mormon’s or a moral atheist’s? In this session, we will explain what we believe Christian parenting is. It must be centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ in principle and practice.
