Description

As Christian grandparents, how do we Go BIG? In today’s episode, we explore the

letter B. B for Bold. B for Brave. And B for Be There.

I love to hike. Trails speak to me of adventure, growth, and connection. There are trails I’ve hiked many times and there have been times when I hired a guide because the trail was new to me.

We’re on a faith journey just like our grandkids. Like the familiar trail of a favorite hike, we've walked this faith ground before. We can guide our grandkids as they walk this narrow path, be it the early steps of childhood, the awkward years of middle and high school, or the exciting newness of college and early adulthood.

Our faith, our calmness in crisis (God's peace), and our godly wisdom can help them navigate the tricky parts of the trail.

Here’s how.
