The legacy you leave your grandchildren is being shaped in everyday moments. Roger Marsh shares an encouraging reminder that your influence can help point the next generation toward a lasting faith in Jesus Christ. Grandparents and Their Vital Role https://cdn.bfldr.com/FK28HSHN/at/89jggjp466kcx6pnxrwkpt2/09142021GRANDPARENTSANDTHEIRVITALROLE_BROADCASTTRAILER.mp4 Some years ago, Dr. Dobson sat down with Larry Fowler, the founder of the Legacy Coalition, and Larry opened with a statistic that stopped the conversation cold. Three out of four Christian grandparents, he said, approach grandparenting the way the culture approaches it rather than the way Scripture does. Spoil them, feed them, hand them back. Then he mentioned something else. He had asked a room full of believers how many of them had ever heard a single sermon preached on grandparenting. Three hands went up. That is the gap this ministry has spent decades trying to close, and it is why we wanted to write to you today. Because Dr. Dobson said something about your role that we have never been able to improve on: “An inheritance is something you leave to someone, while a legacy is something you instill in someone.” An inheritance transfers when you’re gone.

My grandmother had a profound impact on my spiritual development—even greater in my early years than my father, who was a minister. She talked about the Lord every day and made Him seem like a very dear friend who lived in our house.

(2 Timothy 4:7) On this Family Talk broadcast, Dr. James Dobson chats with Pat Robertson, who has been fighting the good fight as a TV evangelist since 1960.

Dr. Dobson finds it hard to believe that anyone would think that the job of "mom" is boring. Most jobs are difficult, or tedious, or unglamorous, truth be told. But raising up the next generation is far and above the most meaningful and significant job on earth.
