In this episode, learn from Dr. Don Hawkins why it is important for grandparents to be empathetic listeners, ask cultivating questions, and have compassionate communication with their grandchildren. Cancel culture, sexual distortion, and other cultural shifts have penetrated our public education system and our society. Clearly, we live in a post-Christian era. But there is hope … godly grandparents.

Among the local church ministries, resources for the grandparents are the most overlooked and neglected segment of the local church. Dr. Hawkins is now changing the statistics! Through The Master Life Coach Training Institute's GrandCoaching™ course – an easy-to-use multimedia presentation that you can take at your own pace – grandparents can bond with their grandchildren, set a godly example, communicate biblical truth to them to help shape their worldview, and perhaps lead them to personal faith in Christ.
