Episode notes
Time Creates Grandparental Influence
- Grandparents often rank second only to parents in influence because of enduring time with grandchildren.
- Josh Mulvihill calls this a unique potential influence that many grandparents don't fully use.
Share The Gospel Intentionally
- Do intentionally share the gospel with grandchildren rather than assume others will.
- Ask for permission when necessary but look for natural, gentle opportunities to present faith.
Ask And Use Soft Openers
- Do clarify boundaries with adult children if you're unsure about gospel conversations.
- Use unobtrusive resources (books, music) to open gospel talks during visits.
