Episode notes
Spiritual Legacy Is Biblical And Intentional
- Spiritual legacy means intentionally working so kids and grandkids know, love, and walk with the Lord.
- Scripture (e.g., Psalm 78) explicitly calls generations to pass on God's works and truths.
Family Structure Serves Generational Faith
- God created the family structure so generations can glorify Him within marriage and family.
- Grandparents have a defined role inside that generational structure to help continue faith across generations.
Start By Stewarding Your Own Faith
- First check your own walk with the Lord and steward your faith honestly before influencing others.
- Come alongside your adult children spiritually instead of skipping straight to the grandchildren.
