I

In this moving solo episode of The Grandpa Channel, Rivers unpacks one of his favorite books, Tattoos on the Heart by Greg Boyle, and a dream that reveals the truth about bearing the beams of love.

Through Pedro’s story of grief, darkness, and finding light, we discover what it really means to be a grandparent: not to fix, but to love steadily, to hold the flashlight, and to trust that the light is always stronger than the darkness.

Rivers reminds us that:

  • God’s love shines through quiet, consistent presence

  • Grandparenting is a calling, not just a role

  • The greatest legacy is offering grace, patience, and unwavering light

  • None of us can save anyone, but we can help them find their way

    💡 Grandpa takeaway: You are the flashlight. Your steady presence is the sermon.

    🎧 Who Should Listen:

    • Grandfathers (or parents) navigating grief, faith, or self-doubt

    • Anyone wondering if their presence really matters

    • Those seeking hope, light in darkness, and encouragement to show up with love

      ✨ Quote to Remember:

      “None of us can save anybody—but we all fumble for grace and flashlights.” — Greg Boyle
