    Lost, Not Just Misbehaving: Parenting Beyond Behavior (Called To Parent: Episode 7)

    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. ***** 🎧 Honest stories. Biblical wisdom.

    Why One Talk Will Never Be Enough (Called To Parent: Episode 6)

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

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. ***** 🎧 Honest stories.

    Finding Your Identity in Christ, Not in Your Kids (Called To Parent: Episode 5)

    In this episode of Called to Parent, Pastor Dalton and his wife Emily dive into Chapter 5 of Paul David Tripp’s Parenting to talk about one of the biggest challenges for every mom and dad: where we find our identity. Too often, parents look for purpose and validation in their children’s success, behavior, or achievements. But when our sense of worth depends on how our kids perform, both we and they end up crushed under pressure we were never meant to carry. Dalton and Emily unpack what it looks like to root your identity in Christ instead of your kids — and how that shift changes everything about parenting, peace, and perspective. They share personal stories, real struggles, and practical ways to help your kids find their identity in Jesus, too. ***** 🎧 Honest stories. Biblical wisdom.

    Control vs. Change: When Parenting Feels Impossible (Called To Parent: Episode 4)

    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. ----- 🎧 Honest stories.

    In this episode of Called to Parent, Pastor Andy and his wife Ginna dive into Chapter 3 of Paul David Tripp’s Parenting and share their perspective as parents of older kids.

From phone contracts and dating boundaries to whispered discipline in public, Andy and Ginna get real about what’s worked (and what hasn’t) in raising their three kids into adulthood. They also talk about the importance of having open, honest conversations with your children, modeling humility by apologizing when you mess up, and preparing kids for life beyond your home. 💬 Whether you’re parenting toddlers, teens, or launching kids into adulthood, this conversation will encourage you to set healthy boundaries while pointing your children to Jesus. 👉 Subscribe for more episodes of Called to Parent, a podcast from Lux Kids, the family ministry of Lux Digital Church.

    Parenting With Grace (Called To Parent: Episode 2)

    Parenting is messy, beautiful, and often overwhelming—but God’s grace meets us right in the middle of it. In this episode of Called to Parent, Pastor Dalton (Lux’s Community & Discipleship Pastor) and his wife Emily dive into Chapter 2 of Paul David Tripp’s 14 Gospel Principles of Parenting, unpacking why grace is the most essential principle of all. With honesty and humor, they share stories from raising their four kids—navigating ADHD, autism, middle school attitudes, and spilled ramen—while reflecting on how parenting exposes our weaknesses and draws us back to dependence on God. From everyday frustrations to gospel opportunities, this conversation is a reminder that grace isn’t just past or future—it’s present, alive, and available in every parenting moment. Whether you’re parenting toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between, this episode will encourage you to rest in God’s grace and pass it on to your kids. ********** 🔗 Interested in Lux Kids?
