Deep conversations with grandparents are critical for so many reasons. God used an avalanche that took Nick Stevens' daughter in 2008 to put him on a path to help dads and granddads fulfill their unique roles for their family. Building heritage is a God-given responsibility and opportunity. Nick is the author of a book coming out in early 2026 called "The Power of Granddad's Voice: Seven Blessings Your Family Needs from You."
In episode 616 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out how his experience of loneliness on campus shaped his life's work, why loneliness is so pervasive in this generation, why he focuses on the relationship between grandfathers and grandchildren, what are some questions for deep conversations with grandparents, why young adults need these conversations, how reflecting on family heritage help them find direction during those uncertain times, what lessons from climbing mountains apply to college life and leadership, how fraternity and sorority members can apply these ideas about intergenerational wisdom within their own organizations, and how students can use the upcoming book as a tool for deeper connection in their own families.
