I know, and our audience probably knows you\u2019re not only a prolific author\u2014I didn\u2019t know you\u2019re on your 32<sup>nd<\/sup> book. Is that right? 32?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> And we\u2019re talking today about the first book you ever wrote, which was on parenting teens, <em>The Age of Opportunity.<\/em>\u00a0 I know it\u2019s a long time ago. I\u2019m wondering what do you remember? Do you remember anything you wrote in that book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Yes. You know, here\u2019s what I remember most is, I wrote the book because I was offended by the way that parents talked about the teen years. It was like teens are just a package of raging hormones, out of control, and there\u2019s nothing you could do but try to survive those years. I was at a conference and a mom was holding a little baby, and she was talking about just the joy of parenting. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSomeone said, \u201cYou wait. Just wait till they\u2019re a teenager.\u201d So I wanted to just speak into that conversation and say, \u201cNo, no, no. This is a time of unprecedented opportunity. These are the golden years of parenting,\u201d sort of flip the script and give people a real different view of this period of time in parenting.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> We raised three sons who are married, and now we have six grandkids. We both felt like those were our favorite years. Now I know you have grown kids, so how many kids did you walk through the teenage years with?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> We have four grown children and six grandchildren also. Yes, I think much of the relationship that we now have with our grown and married children was forged during the teen years. We just have wonderful relationships with our grown kids, and I think part of that is due to the way that we walked through that last period of parenting with them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Well let\u2019s talk. When I think of Paul David Tripp, here\u2019s what I think: gospel. I really think of you and your speaking and writing\u2014you always are so clear on the gospel and bringing the gospel to whatever issue we\u2019re talking about. I remember\u2014you probably don\u2019t remember this. I don\u2019t know what year it was, but we were on the <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em> FamilyLife marriage cruise.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnn and I were keynote speakers the night after you spoke, and I don\u2019t know if I\u2019d heard you speak before. You got up to speak about marriage, and I sat there like, \u201cOh my goodness.\u201d You made the gospel so clear, who we are apart from Christ, what Christ has done, and then how to apply that to our marriage. So let\u2019s start there. As you think about parenting, and especially even parenting teenagers, how do you think the gospel connects to us as parents?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> And maybe we should even define what we mean by the gospel.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> I think that often people reduce this glorious message of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, and his offer of grace to us as an entrance and an exit. It just has to do with coming to Christ and then my destiny. And I want to talk about all the time the now-ism of the gospel, how the gospel changes the way you look at everything. I like to think of it this way. The gospel is meant to be a lens, like a pair of glasses that you put on, and you look at everything through the gospel.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell when you do that, then the gospel forms a lifestyle, if anything, in your life. When it comes to teens, the Bible says what\u2019s hot and happening in a human being is the heart. The heart is\u2014if you look at the way the Bible talks about that word, the heart is the causal core of your personhood. It\u2019s the steering wheel. It\u2019s the direction system. Your behavior only goes where the heart has already gone. So my job as a parent is not corralling behavior. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou could set up a system that forces children to do certain things, but when they leave home, they\u2019re left with nothing, because you haven\u2019t gotten at issues of the heart. Every year thousands of supposedly Christian young people go off to college and forsake their faith. I want to say they never had it in the first place. Now their true heart is being revealed because parenting has been reduced to a set of regulations, a set of consequences, and that\u2019s it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe Bible says if rules were all you needed, Jesus would have never had to come. The law is great at exposing sin. It\u2019s a wonderful guide for life, but it has no power to change the heart. My view of parenting at whatever stage, particularly in the teenage years are, \u201cHow do I get at heart issues with this child,\u201d because that\u2019s what Jesus is after. That\u2019s where transformation takes place. That\u2019s what totally changes the way a person thinks and desires and acts.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> That\u2019s so interesting, Paul, because we had a conversation with one of our adult sons. One of the things that he said to me\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> We have a lot of conversations now with our adult sons. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> We were talk\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Can we just say this? For those who don\u2019t understand, parenting never ends.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes, exactly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> If you think once your children leave the home you wipe your brow and say, \u201cWow, we\u2019re done with that.\u201d No, no, no you\u2019re not. It doesn\u2019t end.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Exactly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> And that was surprising to me, actually, because we were talking about this very issue, the heart. One of our sons said to me, \u201cMom, I felt like you were more concerned with my behavior than my heart.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Especially when he was in high school.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> When he was in high school. His teen years. I think I became so afraid of the culture and what it would do to our kids, that many times I would be so concerned of what they did or didn\u2019t do, instead of thinking, \u201cWell let\u2019s talk about why. What\u2019s going on in your heart that makes you want to do that, or doesn\u2019t?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo I found myself reacting more often than responding. That\u2019s one of my regrets. I wish I would have heard you back in those days that I was raising our teens.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> One of the frustrating things that parents experience when I talk about the heart is they say, \u201cWell, how do I get at the heart issues with my child? What does that look like?\u201d So, in this book there are these questions; I want to go through these questions if I can with you, because I think these are simple, but they help you to get at heart issues with your child. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo you\u2019re in a situation with a child that\u2019s done something wrong or is in some kind of trouble, and your instinct is, \u201cThere have to be consequences for this.\u201d What God is giving you is an opportunity. Let me give you the principle. If your eyes ever see or your ears ever hear the sin, weakness, and failure of your child, it\u2019s not an interruption. It\u2019s not an accident. It\u2019s God giving you an opportunity to get at the heart of your child.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGod wanted you to hear that so you can be a tool of His grace in the heart of your child. So something has happened. First question is, \u201cWhat was going on?\u201d Just get your child\u2019s picture of what was going on. Don\u2019t worry whether it\u2019s biased. Of course it\u2019s going to be biased because they\u2019re telling it from their perspective. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSecond question\u2014now listen to the second question. \u201cWhat were you thinking and feeling as it was happening?\u201d What does that do? That gets a child to look inside. Often if you ask a child, \u201cWhy did you do this?\u201d they\u2019ll point to someone else, some situation. They\u2019ll always point outside their self, so the first question flips that script and gets a child thinking about what\u2019s inside themselves. So \u201cWhat were you thinking and feeling?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNotice the third question. \u201cWhat did you do in response?\u201d Why is that not the first question? Because what I\u2019m teaching the child is, your response was formed by what you were thinking and feeling. It was formed by the heart. So even if you don\u2019t get good answers, you\u2019re teaching the child, your teenager, a way of thinking about himself that\u2019s biblical.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe Bible says it\u2019s out of the heart that the mouth speaks. We live out of the heart. The fourth question is, \u201cWhy did you do it? What were you seeking to accomplish?\u201d That goes after motives. That\u2019s the fourth question. So now we have thoughts and desires and motives of the heart on the table. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen the fifth question\u2014I love this\u2014is \u201cWhat was the result?\u201d The result is the fruit. What are the roots? The roots are in the heart. Now you\u2019re having this profound conversation with a teenager. Even if he gives small, short answers, you have an opportunity to get at what is really going on inside of that child. More than that, you\u2019re requiring the child to think about what is going on inside of them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tParenting is a process. It\u2019s not about winning; it\u2019s about gaining ground every time with a conversation, just like God works in us. Justification and entrance into His family isn\u2019t instant. Sanctification, a process of growth, is a lifetime. That\u2019s the model.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Do you remember a time with one of your kids that you walked that out with them with an incident in their life?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Yes. I give an incident in the book where I was at the end of a long day of ministry, counseling all evening. I came home about ten o\u2019clock. I was hoping that the house would be quiet, and I could just quietly have a snack and slip into bed. I walked into the house real quietly, and in the kitchen one of my sons was there. I could immediately tell that he was angry. So in my brain was this call of God, and this desire just to blow it off. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBy God\u2019s grace I didn\u2019t blow it off. I asked him to sit with me, and we had a conversation. It was close to midnight when we finally went to bed, but it was through those questions that he just talked about his struggles with his brother and his feelings of being diminished, and the anger that was building. It was just a beautiful conversation, just letting this kid bare his soul. He needed somebody to do that for him.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Aren\u2019t you glad that you didn\u2019t go to bed? You would have missed that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Oh, I can remember just saying, \u201cThank You, God. Thank You, God. Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You that You just gave me the power to say \u2018yes\u2019 to that moment.\u201d And I want to say to parents, those moments are never interruptions. I think there are moments where we stomp down a hallway, angry because we have children that actually need to be parented. I know I\u2019ve been there. I\u2019m mad that I have to deal with this at this moment. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI want to say to parents, the key to getting at the heart of your teenager is starting with your own heart. \u201cI want life to be comfortable. I want my kids to be self-parenting. I want respect all the time. I want to be appreciated.\u201d Those are all my idols that get in the way of parenting my children. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen you\u2019re holding on to those things, here\u2019s what I think happens: You personalize things that are not personal, so you\u2019re adversarial in the way that you respond, and you settle for quick solutions that don\u2019t get at the heart of the matter. I\u2019m ready to confess I\u2019ve done that many times. I\u2019ve taken it personally. Look, my son that day didn\u2019t say \u201cDad will probably be home at 10:00. I\u2019m going to act angry. Yeah, that\u2019ll get him.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Come on. It wasn\u2019t a plot against me. It wasn\u2019t personal. He\u2019s not my adversary. He\u2019s my son. <em>God\u2019s given me this moment, and that\u2019s the script you have to be on<\/em>. You have to be on, \u201c<em>God loves this child more than I ever will He\u2019ll expose the needs of this child to me because He loves him, and He wants to give me an opportunity. It\u2019s not personal. It\u2019s not against me<\/em>.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I used to say to parents all the time, my friends that are younger than I am, who are behind me\u2014I would say, \u201cOh, in those teen years just don\u2019t take it personally. It\u2019s really not about you.\u201d That was helpful for me to remember, because they hurt my feelings a lot in those teen years.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> What do you say to the parent\u2014I\u2019ve had parents say to me, \u201cI tried to have a conversation with my teenage son or daughter. They won\u2019t talk. They don\u2019t answer the questions that I ask.\u201d How would you advise that parent? They\u2019re feeling like \u201cI can\u2019t draw anything out.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> I think it\u2019s really important to frame the conversation. I\u2019ve done this so many times, that when I have those conversations, \u201cI\u2019m not a detective trying to get information to criminalize your behavior, to lead you to a punishment. I\u2019m here because I love you. I want to help you. I want to see good things happen in your life. If there are consequences, we\u2019ll deal with those, but that\u2019s not why I\u2019m having this conversation.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cI\u2019m having this conversation as a dad who loves you. I care about you. I care about what\u2019s going on in your life. I care about what you\u2019re struggling with.\u201d So you have to frame the conversation that way. If all the teenager thinks is, \u201cThis is an interrogation for an indictment,\u201d they won\u2019t talk.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> That\u2019s good.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> You have to reframe the conversation. \u201cI\u2019m not here as a prosecutor, a judge, and a jury. That\u2019s not why I\u2019m here. I\u2019m here because I know you\u2019re struggling, and I love you, and I want to help.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> As I hear you say that, I failed that so often because I get mad and I\u2019m reactionary, and I think a lot of parents listening to that would be convicted. But as I\u2019m listening to you say it, that comes from your own heart.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> That comes from Jesus in your own heart, to have the self-control, the ability to step back, to be concerned about them and not just reacting to whatever they did. How did you implement that personally? I know that about you, but that\u2019s really important to a personal walk with Jesus, is a reflection of what you just said.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> I think it really is. Your walk with Jesus as He exposes the dirt in your own heart, that humbles you. That softens you. I say it this way. \u201cNo one gives grace better than a person who knows he desperately needs it himself.\u201d When you\u2019re aware of your sin and the magnitude of the glory of God\u2019s grace and forgiveness, you want to give that away.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo you\u2019re not going to say to a child\u2014here it is. I\u2019m going to say it\u2014 \u201cIn my day, I would have never thought of doing such a thing.\u201d See, that\u2019s self-righteousness, and what you\u2019re actually saying to a child is, \u201cYour problem is you\u2019re not as righteous as me.\u201d Now, how do you get to the Gospel after that? I think there\u2019s probably nothing that you will see in the life of a teenager that you can\u2019t identify someplace in your own life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> For sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Let\u2019s take an example. So your teenager comes to you on a Thursday night and says, \u201cI have a science project due tomorrow,\u201d and you want to scream.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> You know that project was assigned six years ago.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> So it\u2019s really an instinct to just say, \u201cWell, I would never have done such a thing.\u201d But think about it. What\u2019s the issue there? Procrastination. Maybe you\u2019re a dad and your garage is so full of whatever you can\u2019t drive into it anymore. You keep telling yourself you\u2019re going to clean it, but you don\u2019t. It\u2019s the same issue. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOr maybe you\u2019re the person who runs to the post office at 12:00 on April 15<sup>th<\/sup> to turn in your taxes, because you\u2019ve procrastinated. You\u2019re there with all the other procrastinators. It\u2019s like a party; you bring the brownies.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> You\u2019re looking at the sins of the father right in front of you, right? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Yes. So imagine standing next to that child. Instead of saying, \u201cIn my day I would have never thought,\u201d imagine standing in front of that child and saying, \u201cI know exactly how you got into that mess, because I\u2019m like you. I prioritize the things that I find enjoyable, and I put off the things that I find distasteful. But you know what, son? There\u2019s help and hope for us,\u201d and there you can get to the Gospel, you can get to the heart. But that starts with your own heart.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> How would you advise parents about how much of your own sin, weaknesses to share with your teenager? When our two oldest went to college and we\u2019re sitting at the dinner table with our youngest son, we had this beautiful couple of years with him where he\u2019d sit at dinner and go, \u201cHey, Mom and Dad. Tell me your story. Tell me how you came to Christ.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe had those conversations with all three boys, but there was something unique when you\u2019re just sitting there. I remember one night he goes, \u201cSo did you guys have sex before marriage? Did you get drunk a lot in college? I want to hear you--\u201d And you\u2019re sitting there going, \u201cOkay. How much do I share with them?\u201d How would you counsel parents on that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Well, the first thing I want to say is there\u2019s a mistaken notion that sharing your struggles diminishes the gospel. Your failure, your weakness as a parent, preaches the gospel.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Because it\u2019s not a message of independent self-reliance. Think about this. The move direction of grace in a person\u2019s life is not from dependence to independence. The move of grace in a person\u2019s life is from independence to greater dependence on God, and so my story is an example of everybody\u2019s need for rescuing grace. Who do I need to be rescued from? Me. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen your children watch your zeal for Jesus, okay. They can tell you love Jesus and then they hear the story of what you were like. What does it do? It preaches grace.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Because they now conclude it must be God\u2019s work that has made this guy who he is, because he was pretty creepy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Or he was pretty foolish. Or he did really dumb things.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes, that is so well said. So well said. You said earlier during their teenage years your relationship with your kids has built what you have with them today. How did that happen? What did you mean by that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> There\u2019s two questions that every human being struggles with. One is \u201cWill anybody love me?\u201d But the second question is even deeper, more scary. \u201cOnce you know me, you really know me, will you love me?\u201d And if you go through the dark teenage years and you refuse not to love those kids, you refuse not to give them grace\u2014I don\u2019t mean being permissive. Grace doesn\u2019t call wrong right. It\u2019s a way of dealing with wrong. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey have conversations with you in their worst moments, and they walk to their rooms saying, \u201cThat guy, that lady loves me.\u201d You have built a foundation for the future of your relationship with them when they\u2019re out of the house, because they know you can look at the darkest side of them and you won\u2019t turn your back on them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shelby:<\/strong> You\u2019re listening to Dave and Ann Wilson with Paul David Tripp on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em> I have known Paul Tripp for several years now, and I can tell you that this stuff can be quite convicting for all of us.

I want to ask you, as you think back of our parenting seasons, which was your favorite?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Well, there\u2019s good and there\u2019s hard in each, but my favorite was probably the teenage years.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Why do you say that? Most parents say that\u2019s the worst.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> It was so fun, because you\u2019re starting to discover who they are, what they\u2019re passionate about - they\u2019re kind of struggling with, but also analyzing their faith and what part is ours and what part they want to take. It\u2019s scary, though, too.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I especially feel like it\u2019s even a little more different today, where there\u2019s a lot more going on with social media and their devices.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>, where we want to help you pursue the relationships that matter most.

We have Paul David Tripp with us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Woo hoo!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Paul, I know it\u2019s been a while since you\u2019ve been on FamilyLife, but welcome back to <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Well it\u2019s my pleasure to be with you. I\u2019m glad we\u2019re doing this.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes. I know, and our audience probably knows you\u2019re not only a prolific author\u2014I didn\u2019t know you\u2019re on your 32<sup>nd<\/sup> book. Is that right? 32?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> And we\u2019re talking today about the first book you ever wrote, which was on parenting teens, <em>The Age of Opportunity.<\/em>\u00a0 I know it\u2019s a long time ago. I\u2019m wondering what do you remember? Do you remember anything you wrote in that book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Yes. You know, here\u2019s what I remember most is, I wrote the book because I was offended by the way that parents talked about the teen years. It was like teens are just a package of raging hormones, out of control, and there\u2019s nothing you could do but try to survive those years. I was at a conference and a mom was holding a little baby, and she was talking about just the joy of parenting. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSomeone said, \u201cYou wait. Just wait till they\u2019re a teenager.\u201d So I wanted to just speak into that conversation and say, \u201cNo, no, no. This is a time of unprecedented opportunity. These are the golden years of parenting,\u201d sort of flip the script and give people a real different view of this period of time in parenting.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> We raised three sons who are married, and now we have six grandkids. We both felt like those were our favorite years. Now I know you have grown kids, so how many kids did you walk through the teenage years with?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> We have four grown children and six grandchildren also. Yes, I think much of the relationship that we now have with our grown and married children was forged during the teen years. We just have wonderful relationships with our grown kids, and I think part of that is due to the way that we walked through that last period of parenting with them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Well let\u2019s talk. When I think of Paul David Tripp, here\u2019s what I think: gospel. I really think of you and your speaking and writing\u2014you always are so clear on the gospel and bringing the gospel to whatever issue we\u2019re talking about. I remember\u2014you probably don\u2019t remember this. I don\u2019t know what year it was, but we were on the <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em> FamilyLife marriage cruise.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnn and I were keynote speakers the night after you spoke, and I don\u2019t know if I\u2019d heard you speak before. You got up to speak about marriage, and I sat there like, \u201cOh my goodness.\u201d You made the gospel so clear, who we are apart from Christ, what Christ has done, and then how to apply that to our marriage. So let\u2019s start there. As you think about parenting, and especially even parenting teenagers, how do you think the gospel connects to us as parents?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> And maybe we should even define what we mean by the gospel.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> I think that often people reduce this glorious message of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, and his offer of grace to us as an entrance and an exit. It just has to do with coming to Christ and then my destiny. And I want to talk about all the time the now-ism of the gospel, how the gospel changes the way you look at everything. I like to think of it this way. The gospel is meant to be a lens, like a pair of glasses that you put on, and you look at everything through the gospel.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell when you do that, then the gospel forms a lifestyle, if anything, in your life. When it comes to teens, the Bible says what\u2019s hot and happening in a human being is the heart. The heart is\u2014if you look at the way the Bible talks about that word, the heart is the causal core of your personhood. It\u2019s the steering wheel. It\u2019s the direction system. Your behavior only goes where the heart has already gone. So my job as a parent is not corralling behavior. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou could set up a system that forces children to do certain things, but when they leave home, they\u2019re left with nothing, because you haven\u2019t gotten at issues of the heart. Every year thousands of supposedly Christian young people go off to college and forsake their faith. I want to say they never had it in the first place. Now their true heart is being revealed because parenting has been reduced to a set of regulations, a set of consequences, and that\u2019s it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe Bible says if rules were all you needed, Jesus would have never had to come. The law is great at exposing sin. It\u2019s a wonderful guide for life, but it has no power to change the heart. My view of parenting at whatever stage, particularly in the teenage years are, \u201cHow do I get at heart issues with this child,\u201d because that\u2019s what Jesus is after. That\u2019s where transformation takes place. That\u2019s what totally changes the way a person thinks and desires and acts.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> That\u2019s so interesting, Paul, because we had a conversation with one of our adult sons. One of the things that he said to me\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> We have a lot of conversations now with our adult sons. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> We were talk\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Can we just say this? For those who don\u2019t understand, parenting never ends.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes, exactly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> If you think once your children leave the home you wipe your brow and say, \u201cWow, we\u2019re done with that.\u201d No, no, no you\u2019re not. It doesn\u2019t end.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Exactly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> And that was surprising to me, actually, because we were talking about this very issue, the heart. One of our sons said to me, \u201cMom, I felt like you were more concerned with my behavior than my heart.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Especially when he was in high school.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> When he was in high school. His teen years. I think I became so afraid of the culture and what it would do to our kids, that many times I would be so concerned of what they did or didn\u2019t do, instead of thinking, \u201cWell let\u2019s talk about why. What\u2019s going on in your heart that makes you want to do that, or doesn\u2019t?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo I found myself reacting more often than responding. That\u2019s one of my regrets. I wish I would have heard you back in those days that I was raising our teens.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> One of the frustrating things that parents experience when I talk about the heart is they say, \u201cWell, how do I get at the heart issues with my child? What does that look like?\u201d So, in this book there are these questions; I want to go through these questions if I can with you, because I think these are simple, but they help you to get at heart issues with your child. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo you\u2019re in a situation with a child that\u2019s done something wrong or is in some kind of trouble, and your instinct is, \u201cThere have to be consequences for this.\u201d What God is giving you is an opportunity. Let me give you the principle. If your eyes ever see or your ears ever hear the sin, weakness, and failure of your child, it\u2019s not an interruption. It\u2019s not an accident. It\u2019s God giving you an opportunity to get at the heart of your child.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGod wanted you to hear that so you can be a tool of His grace in the heart of your child. So something has happened. First question is, \u201cWhat was going on?\u201d Just get your child\u2019s picture of what was going on. Don\u2019t worry whether it\u2019s biased. Of course it\u2019s going to be biased because they\u2019re telling it from their perspective. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSecond question\u2014now listen to the second question. \u201cWhat were you thinking and feeling as it was happening?\u201d What does that do? That gets a child to look inside. Often if you ask a child, \u201cWhy did you do this?\u201d they\u2019ll point to someone else, some situation. They\u2019ll always point outside their self, so the first question flips that script and gets a child thinking about what\u2019s inside themselves. So \u201cWhat were you thinking and feeling?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNotice the third question. \u201cWhat did you do in response?\u201d Why is that not the first question? Because what I\u2019m teaching the child is, your response was formed by what you were thinking and feeling. It was formed by the heart. So even if you don\u2019t get good answers, you\u2019re teaching the child, your teenager, a way of thinking about himself that\u2019s biblical.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe Bible says it\u2019s out of the heart that the mouth speaks. We live out of the heart. The fourth question is, \u201cWhy did you do it? What were you seeking to accomplish?\u201d That goes after motives. That\u2019s the fourth question. So now we have thoughts and desires and motives of the heart on the table. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen the fifth question\u2014I love this\u2014is \u201cWhat was the result?\u201d The result is the fruit. What are the roots? The roots are in the heart. Now you\u2019re having this profound conversation with a teenager. Even if he gives small, short answers, you have an opportunity to get at what is really going on inside of that child. More than that, you\u2019re requiring the child to think about what is going on inside of them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tParenting is a process. It\u2019s not about winning; it\u2019s about gaining ground every time with a conversation, just like God works in us. Justification and entrance into His family isn\u2019t instant. Sanctification, a process of growth, is a lifetime. That\u2019s the model.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Do you remember a time with one of your kids that you walked that out with them with an incident in their life?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Yes. I give an incident in the book where I was at the end of a long day of ministry, counseling all evening. I came home about ten o\u2019clock. I was hoping that the house would be quiet, and I could just quietly have a snack and slip into bed. I walked into the house real quietly, and in the kitchen one of my sons was there. I could immediately tell that he was angry. So in my brain was this call of God, and this desire just to blow it off. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBy God\u2019s grace I didn\u2019t blow it off. I asked him to sit with me, and we had a conversation. It was close to midnight when we finally went to bed, but it was through those questions that he just talked about his struggles with his brother and his feelings of being diminished, and the anger that was building. It was just a beautiful conversation, just letting this kid bare his soul. He needed somebody to do that for him.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Aren\u2019t you glad that you didn\u2019t go to bed? You would have missed that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Oh, I can remember just saying, \u201cThank You, God. Thank You, God. Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You that You just gave me the power to say \u2018yes\u2019 to that moment.\u201d And I want to say to parents, those moments are never interruptions. I think there are moments where we stomp down a hallway, angry because we have children that actually need to be parented. I know I\u2019ve been there. I\u2019m mad that I have to deal with this at this moment. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI want to say to parents, the key to getting at the heart of your teenager is starting with your own heart. \u201cI want life to be comfortable. I want my kids to be self-parenting. I want respect all the time. I want to be appreciated.\u201d Those are all my idols that get in the way of parenting my children. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen you\u2019re holding on to those things, here\u2019s what I think happens: You personalize things that are not personal, so you\u2019re adversarial in the way that you respond, and you settle for quick solutions that don\u2019t get at the heart of the matter. I\u2019m ready to confess I\u2019ve done that many times. I\u2019ve taken it personally. Look, my son that day didn\u2019t say \u201cDad will probably be home at 10:00. I\u2019m going to act angry. Yeah, that\u2019ll get him.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Come on. It wasn\u2019t a plot against me. It wasn\u2019t personal. He\u2019s not my adversary. He\u2019s my son. <em>God\u2019s given me this moment, and that\u2019s the script you have to be on<\/em>. You have to be on, \u201c<em>God loves this child more than I ever will He\u2019ll expose the needs of this child to me because He loves him, and He wants to give me an opportunity. It\u2019s not personal. It\u2019s not against me<\/em>.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> I used to say to parents all the time, my friends that are younger than I am, who are behind me\u2014I would say, \u201cOh, in those teen years just don\u2019t take it personally. It\u2019s really not about you.\u201d That was helpful for me to remember, because they hurt my feelings a lot in those teen years.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> What do you say to the parent\u2014I\u2019ve had parents say to me, \u201cI tried to have a conversation with my teenage son or daughter. They won\u2019t talk. They don\u2019t answer the questions that I ask.\u201d How would you advise that parent? They\u2019re feeling like \u201cI can\u2019t draw anything out.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> I think it\u2019s really important to frame the conversation. I\u2019ve done this so many times, that when I have those conversations, \u201cI\u2019m not a detective trying to get information to criminalize your behavior, to lead you to a punishment. I\u2019m here because I love you. I want to help you. I want to see good things happen in your life. If there are consequences, we\u2019ll deal with those, but that\u2019s not why I\u2019m having this conversation.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cI\u2019m having this conversation as a dad who loves you. I care about you. I care about what\u2019s going on in your life. I care about what you\u2019re struggling with.\u201d So you have to frame the conversation that way. If all the teenager thinks is, \u201cThis is an interrogation for an indictment,\u201d they won\u2019t talk.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> That\u2019s good.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> You have to reframe the conversation. \u201cI\u2019m not here as a prosecutor, a judge, and a jury. That\u2019s not why I\u2019m here. I\u2019m here because I know you\u2019re struggling, and I love you, and I want to help.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> As I hear you say that, I failed that so often because I get mad and I\u2019m reactionary, and I think a lot of parents listening to that would be convicted. But as I\u2019m listening to you say it, that comes from your own heart.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> That comes from Jesus in your own heart, to have the self-control, the ability to step back, to be concerned about them and not just reacting to whatever they did. How did you implement that personally? I know that about you, but that\u2019s really important to a personal walk with Jesus, is a reflection of what you just said.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> I think it really is. Your walk with Jesus as He exposes the dirt in your own heart, that humbles you. That softens you. I say it this way. \u201cNo one gives grace better than a person who knows he desperately needs it himself.\u201d When you\u2019re aware of your sin and the magnitude of the glory of God\u2019s grace and forgiveness, you want to give that away.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo you\u2019re not going to say to a child\u2014here it is. I\u2019m going to say it\u2014 \u201cIn my day, I would have never thought of doing such a thing.\u201d See, that\u2019s self-righteousness, and what you\u2019re actually saying to a child is, \u201cYour problem is you\u2019re not as righteous as me.\u201d Now, how do you get to the Gospel after that? I think there\u2019s probably nothing that you will see in the life of a teenager that you can\u2019t identify someplace in your own life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> For sure.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Let\u2019s take an example. So your teenager comes to you on a Thursday night and says, \u201cI have a science project due tomorrow,\u201d and you want to scream.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> You know that project was assigned six years ago.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> So it\u2019s really an instinct to just say, \u201cWell, I would never have done such a thing.\u201d But think about it. What\u2019s the issue there? Procrastination. Maybe you\u2019re a dad and your garage is so full of whatever you can\u2019t drive into it anymore. You keep telling yourself you\u2019re going to clean it, but you don\u2019t. It\u2019s the same issue. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOr maybe you\u2019re the person who runs to the post office at 12:00 on April 15<sup>th<\/sup> to turn in your taxes, because you\u2019ve procrastinated. You\u2019re there with all the other procrastinators. It\u2019s like a party; you bring the brownies.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> You\u2019re looking at the sins of the father right in front of you, right? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Yes. So imagine standing next to that child. Instead of saying, \u201cIn my day I would have never thought,\u201d imagine standing in front of that child and saying, \u201cI know exactly how you got into that mess, because I\u2019m like you. I prioritize the things that I find enjoyable, and I put off the things that I find distasteful. But you know what, son? There\u2019s help and hope for us,\u201d and there you can get to the Gospel, you can get to the heart. But that starts with your own heart.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> How would you advise parents about how much of your own sin, weaknesses to share with your teenager? When our two oldest went to college and we\u2019re sitting at the dinner table with our youngest son, we had this beautiful couple of years with him where he\u2019d sit at dinner and go, \u201cHey, Mom and Dad. Tell me your story. Tell me how you came to Christ.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe had those conversations with all three boys, but there was something unique when you\u2019re just sitting there. I remember one night he goes, \u201cSo did you guys have sex before marriage? Did you get drunk a lot in college? I want to hear you--\u201d And you\u2019re sitting there going, \u201cOkay. How much do I share with them?\u201d How would you counsel parents on that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Well, the first thing I want to say is there\u2019s a mistaken notion that sharing your struggles diminishes the gospel. Your failure, your weakness as a parent, preaches the gospel.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Because it\u2019s not a message of independent self-reliance. Think about this. The move direction of grace in a person\u2019s life is not from dependence to independence. The move of grace in a person\u2019s life is from independence to greater dependence on God, and so my story is an example of everybody\u2019s need for rescuing grace. Who do I need to be rescued from? Me. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen your children watch your zeal for Jesus, okay. They can tell you love Jesus and then they hear the story of what you were like. What does it do? It preaches grace.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Because they now conclude it must be God\u2019s work that has made this guy who he is, because he was pretty creepy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> Or he was pretty foolish. Or he did really dumb things.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes, that is so well said. So well said. You said earlier during their teenage years your relationship with your kids has built what you have with them today. How did that happen? What did you mean by that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Paul:<\/strong> There\u2019s two questions that every human being struggles with. One is \u201cWill anybody love me?\u201d But the second question is even deeper, more scary. \u201cOnce you know me, you really know me, will you love me?\u201d And if you go through the dark teenage years and you refuse not to love those kids, you refuse not to give them grace\u2014I don\u2019t mean being permissive. Grace doesn\u2019t call wrong right. It\u2019s a way of dealing with wrong. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey have conversations with you in their worst moments, and they walk to their rooms saying, \u201cThat guy, that lady loves me.\u201d You have built a foundation for the future of your relationship with them when they\u2019re out of the house, because they know you can look at the darkest side of them and you won\u2019t turn your back on them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shelby:<\/strong> You\u2019re listening to Dave and Ann Wilson with Paul David Tripp on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em> I have known Paul Tripp for several years now, and I can tell you that this stuff can be quite convicting for all of us.
