Calling All Grandparents!!!

Larry Fowler joins us. He is the founder of the Legacy Coalition which invests specifically in grandparents. He has been in ministry for over 40 years and really cares about the role of grandparents within family.

Legacy Coalition started in 2016 and is designed with grandparents in mind. Larry Fowler and his wife felt a nudge from God to start this ministry and fill in the gaps within the church where grandparents exist – because they are worth investing in!

“Navigating issues from the parent’s perspective AND the grandparent's perspective is pivotal.” - Larry Fowler

2 Main Ideas:

When grandparents aren’t believers and don’t influence the kids the way the parents want them to...

How are parents/grandparents partner successfully when it comes to raising the kids?

Here are things we discuss in the podcast:

Consistency is key. Some grandparents want to spoil their kids, and some are rule followers. In both cases, these grandparents need to try to build consistency with their kids who are now parents.

There is a biblical model for grandparents. They don’t stop parenting, but they do stop being the primary caregivers. They have more of an influence role.

Does what they are doing engage the relationship or damage the relationship?

Grandparents can have great influence in the world of technology by engaging their grandkids by asking them questions and letting them explain technology to them rather than complaining about the kids’ usage of technology.

“Grandparents, you are still a parent (noun) but are no longer parenting (verb) the grandkids.” - Larry Fowler
