On this program, Michael Horton sits down with special guests Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompson, authors of Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus. Elyse and Jessica discovered that much of their parenting was based on the power of guilt rather than the gospel of grace. Recorded before a live audience in Southern California, the authors share stories of parenting and childhood, and offer a better way for exhausted moms and dads to see God at work in the lives of their children.

“Don’t ever use the sovereignty of God as an excuse for inaction as a parent. And at the same time, don’t assume that this is some kind of formula or Prosperity Gospel parenting that says, ‘if you plant your seed of good parenting, it’s going to yield a believing crop.'” Pastor Adriel Sanchez shares from Proverbs 22:6, Deuteronomy 6, and 2 Timothy 1 what fathers and parents can do to disciple their children.
