Even from miles away, grandparents can play a powerful role in helping their grandkids grow in faith. Today, Dr. Jim Burns welcomes Wayne Rice — co-founder of Youth Specialties, member of the Legacy Coalition, longtime youth ministry leader, author of over 30 books, and bluegrass enthusiast — for a meaningful conversation on intentional grandparenting. Wayne shares practical ways grandparents can invest spiritually in their grandkids, even from miles away, emphasizing the power of prayer, staying connected through both old-school and modern technology, and creating memorable holiday traditions that build lifelong bonds. As Wayne says, “The relationship that you have with your grandkids while they’re young becomes a foundation for the kind of relationship you’ll have with them as adults.”

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
