ShowNotes

Adam Hawkins is joined by guests Michael Bleecker and Brenda Pietzman. Together they explore the powerful and often overlooked role grandparents play in passing down faith to the next generation.

The conversation highlights the biblical vision of generational discipleship, the cultural challenges families face today, and the incredible opportunity grandparents have to shape identity, faith, and legacy. Whether you're a grandparent, parent, or church leader, this episode invites you to rethink how generations can and should partner together to pass the baton of faith.

Many churches unintentionally overlook grandparents as a vital part of children’s and youth ministry.
Cultural messages often encourage grandparents to step back, but Scripture calls them to run alongside the next generation.
Grandparents can influence faith through everyday conversations, prayer, and presence.
