At [TGCW16](http://conference.thegospelcoalition.org/2016), I told the women in my sessions I’d post some of the resources we discussed here at Wit’s End. I’ve included the links to the talks, along with the outlines and resources mentioned. Hopefully, these will help as you listen along. You can find all of the talks from the conference [here](http://resources.thegospelcoalition.org/events/2016). I’ve already started listening and it’s a wealth of good content!

*“All should realize the sublime idea that their houses are the schools for eternity; their children the scholars; themselves the teachers; and evangelical religion the lesson. Yes, with every infant born into the family comes the injunction from God, “Take this child and bring it up for Me!” God sent this child into the world, to be trained up in the way he should go—that is in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” John James*

Many thanks to Irene Sun, Christine Hoover and Beth Urton for help with these ideas and suggestions!
