The Role of Faithful Grandparents with Courtney Doctor


Listen Later

Hey don't stop listening! Based on stats, a lot of you who listen are under 40. I'm excited this means we are in the territory of getting out of echo chambers, because if I had to guess, most of you aren't grandparents yet. We are getting close to the end of our series about what it looks like to live a Legacy of Faith.

Grandparents have a unique role in modern culture. In times past, it seems like the role was a bit more defined, but with as much as well all move now, it makes things a little more complicated. 

This week, we are talking about the Biblical role of grandparents and the way they can point grandkids to faith.

The Bible encourages us to learn from people in the faith who are ahead of us, and I've talked to Courtney enough to know that any time she speaks, I'll always be encouraged.

If you want to apply the scripture we discussed today, I’m creating a download with a verse to meditate on, a passage to study, and questions to dig in deeper. You can find a link to that in the show notes.

Does the Bible talk about grandparenthood? 

What do you think is the calling placed on Grandparents? How do you see your role in their life?

I see all over reels right now people talking about the way a lot of the grandparent generation has said, "I already raised my kids, I don't want to parent yours." What keeps you from feeling that way? 

What is one way someone my age can start preparing for what it means to be a grandparent? 


You can find Courtney Doctor here or her Bible study called "Titus".
