Legacy vs. heritage - what's the difference?
I recently came across a podcast from Family Life that addresses the difference between the two. I highly recommend that all parents and grandparents check it out! It includes a powerful interview with Josh Mulvihill, who shares the biblical role of grandparents in the spiritual formation of their children and grandchildren.

Grandparents play a pivotal role in the next generation.
Children and teens can learn a lot about life and faith from the example of their grandparents. Don't forget to share this with all the parents and grandparents you know!
Think About These Verses:
Take a moment to ponder this encouraging truth from Psalm 71:17-18, as mentioned in the podcast.
"O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come."
Grandparents are called to proclaim the gospel to the next generation!
