Sharing Your Faith With Your Grandkids

One of the most important things that any parent or grandparent can do, is helping their little ones know Jesus. Ian Barnett from National Grandparent Movement shares practical and spiritual tips for sharing your faith with your Grandkids, no matter where they're at on their own faith journey.

Key Takeaways:

• Planting Seeds: Our grandkids may not come to faith in our lifetime, but by planting seeds of Hope, people through their life can continue to water them.

• Generational shift: Grandparents have more access and opportunities than they may have had with their own kids.
• Language: You can use language that shows them that you believe in something bigger than this world.
• Questions: Kids will often ask you big, deep and meaningful questions that allow you to respond and share your faith.

Notable Quotes:

• "We are having more access with our Grandkids than ever before." 

• "Some of the other Grandparents are saying they've noticed their grandkids are holding onto these things. It's shaping their thinking and it's forming incredible memories" 

• "The closer you are to your grandkids and the more active you are in speaking to them, the healthier you'll be, the longer you'll live and you'll have less illness"

• "The bottom line is, I want to see my kids and grandkids in heaven."
