Author: Lee Ann Mancini March 12, 2024 Duration: 0:00
“So, making digging comments about, ‘I wish your dad would take you to church. I wish your mom would let me take you to church,’ all those things are going to divide you from that that adult child that you're trying to draw to Christ." -Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield. Three women of Christ on a mission, Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield, Rhonda Stoppe, and Lee Ann Mancini, have joined together to share empowering Godly advice, information, and encouragement for everyone who is raising the next generation of warriors for Christ. Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield is a national speaker, author, podcaster, and a licensed professional counselor of 27 years. Rhonda Stoppe is a best-selling author, speaker, and podcaster who has helped countless women build “no regrets lives”! During this episode, all three ladies discuss the role of grandparents in influencing their grandkids for Christ, especially when the parents may not be believers. The insightful conversation touches on the challenges parents and grandparents face and the strategies that can be used to connect grandchildren to their faith. Rhonda shares powerful insights on approaching this delicate situation with love and respect, emphasizing the importance of building genuine connections, avoiding judgment, and living out a Christ-like example, even when faced with challenging circumstances. Dr. Michelle shares her personal journey as a step-grandparent, offering a poignant portrayal of the impact of authentic faith and love in her relationship with her step-grandchildrens. Rhonda, Michelle & Lee Ann also touch upon the following takeaways: Supporting and respecting the non-believing spouse. Finding ways to be involved in your grandkids' lives without repelling the unsaved spouse. Emulating Christ’s love through actions, behavior, and prayers. Living an authentic and genuine faith in front of stepkids. Asking step-grandchildren about their needs and keeping a prayer book. Hosting cousin camp focused on fun and faith and building close-knit relationships among cousins. Upholding and promoting an uplifting and drama-free family environment. Finding time and prioritizing family over busy schedules and commitments. Being involved in grandchildren’s activities, co-op, and classes. Sharing personal experiences and real-life stories with grandkids. Resources: Rhonda Stoppe’s books & Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield’s books.
