Welcome to a new edition of the Legacy Imperative podcast, now with video! Join Jeff Ling, pastor from Northern Virginia, and Bob Peterson, the founder of Legacy Imperative, as they embark on a conversation highlighting a growing crisis among grandparents — the unanticipated barriers with their adult children and grandchildren.
Studies reveal troubling statistics: approximately 27% of people over 18 have severed family ties, and millions of grandparents have been cut off from their grandchildren. Surprisingly, conflicts between in-laws account for a significant portion of these tensions.
In this episode, Jeff and Bob delve into navigating these delicate family dynamics, emphasizing the importance of wisdom and prayer in reopening doors and hearts. They discuss the challenges evangelical grandparents face — from restrictions on discussing faith with grandchildren to larger cultural shifts affecting family relationships.
Listen as they share personal stories, insights, and practical steps to maintain connections. Whether addressing faith barriers or learning to communicate effectively with the younger generation, this episode offers guidance for those seeking to keep spiritual conversations and relationships alive within their family.
