Overview

The purpose of this seminar is to focus on the gospel as the most important power in parenting. It is not the parents—their efforts, prayers, hopes, dreams—that ultimately ought to shape parenting. Instead, it is the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the power that needs to be at the center of all we are, all we do, as parents. And this is exactly what our friend Bill Farley is eager to help us see. In this seminar, Bill will show us how to apply the gospel to every aspect of parenting and, further, how the gospel is really foundational in all that we do as parents. We cannot effectively teach or discipline or care for our children if we ignore the gospel.

So please join us (whether you’re seasoned parents, brand new parents, or hope to be parents someday) for this opportunity to learn how the gospel shapes and transforms parenting.
