Episode 17: Passing on faith as a grandparent, with Becky Sedgwick

The Roots for Churches podcast

Are you a grandparent by blood, adoption, or to young people you've drawn into your circle of care and affection? Or do you have a number of grandparents in your church? Passing on faith as a grandparent may feel a little tricky. Some might say, "My grandchildren live far away, I don't see them all that often. How can I make an impact?" Others might wonder, "My children don't attend church anymore, so what can I do to ensure my grandchildren learn about faith?" Or, "My grandchildren only come to church with me occasionally. How can I make the most of that time?"

Today, we're exploring grandparenting for faith with Becky Sedgwick, unpacking how you can support your grandchildren or the grandparents in your congregation to confidently and prayerfully pass on faith to the younger generation. Join us on the Roots for Churches podcast as Becky shares her wisdom and insights, delving into her journey with the organization Parenting for Faith and the creation of her book, "Grandparenting for Faith."

Becky discusses the powerful influence grandparents have, the importance of building strong connections, and practical steps to disciple grandchildren. Whether your grandchildren live nearby or far away, Becky offers encouragement and actionable advice to help you nurture their faith. Plus, discover how churches can better support grandparents in their vital role.
