Faith in Parents
The Faith in Parents podcast is all about helping families raise children for Jesus. On this stream, you’ll find episodes for parents, presented by Ed and Amy, that cover all the issues we think are important today. We’re not trying to give you the answers, but a few starting points. We hope and pray you’ll be inspired to give it a go. Every family can.

In the Hood #3 | The Gift of Grandparenthood
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Cross the generations, building relationships with grandchildren, supporting their parents and praying passionately for them.
Whether they are far away or in your local church, whether they are your biological grandchildren or someone else's, there is a role for the older generation to play in raising children to know Christ.
Hear about the stretch to understand their passions, the deep ache of love for them and the trans-Atlantic conferences, with only a passing mention of knitting.
