Episode 78-Long Distance Grandparenting: Nurturing the Faith of Your Grandchildren When You Can’t Be There in Person with Wayne Rice
Even from miles away, grandparents can play a powerful role in helping their grandkids grow in faith. Today, Dr. Jim Burns welcomes Wayne Rice — co-founder of Youth Specialties, member of the Legacy Coalition, longtime youth ministry leader, author of over 30 books, and bluegrass enthusiast — for a meaningful conversation on intentional grandparenting. Wayne shares practical ways grandparents can invest spiritually in their grandkids, even from miles away, emphasizing the power of prayer, staying connected through both old-school and modern technology, and creating memorable holiday traditions that build lifelong bonds. As Wayne says, “The relationship that you have with your grandkids while they’re young becomes a foundation for the kind of relationship you’ll have with them as adults.”
