Curriculum: Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family by Paul Tripp

What is your calling as a parent?

In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise up “good” children, it’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.

In this life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God’s plan for us as parents. Outlining fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God―grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.

Freed from the burden of trying to manufacture life-change in our children’s hearts, we can embrace a grand perspective of parenting overflowing with vision, purpose, and joy.

Curriculum: My New Life

All new Christians are excited to start their journey of faith. Unfortunately, for many, there is little foundation from which to build. Many new believers have no experience in reading the Bible or even knowing what it’s about. Countless others have no experience in the church or even an understanding of why the church is important. With so many unknowns, the new Christian can become easily discouraged by a lack of understanding of who a Christ-follower is.

For the believer to grow, it’s necessary to have an understanding of the gospel, God’s character, prayer, and so much more. Many resources for new Christians exist, but they can be overwhelming. They attempt to cover too much information and they use words that people new to the faith have most likely never even heard. So what’s a better way to support, encourage, and teach the new Christian what this new life in Christ looks like?

In My New Life, the new Christian will be given deep truths in short and simple-to-understand chapters of daily readings for weekly study. Whether completed individually or with a mentor, this study will help a new believer grow in knowledge of God’s Word. It will provide a foundation on which daily trust in Jesus will grow for the rest of their lives.
