{"id":3088,"count":13,"description":"Larry Fowler is the founder of Legacy Coalition, a national ministry focused on equipping Christian grandparents to fulfill their biblical role of impacting grandchildren.  He has nearly 50 years of pursuing his calling to children\u2019s ministry, beginning as a youth pastor, then missionary, then international trainer (in 47 different countries), and senior executive with Awana Clubs International.   He has years of experience writing children\u2019s ministry curriculum.  He is the author of the best-selling books, Rock Solid Kids and Raising a Modern-Day Joseph, as well as several other books on children\u2019s ministry, parenting, and grandparenting. He has been featured in parenting videos by Focus on the Family and is a frequent main-stage and breakout speaker at conferences and seminars.  His latest book is Overcoming Grandparenting Barriers.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn 2012, he was the recipient of the Legacy Award from the International Network of Children\u2019s Ministry, recognizing him for his lifelong impact upon children\u2019s ministry in America.  That same year, Larry felt God\u2019s call to a new focus\u2014grandparenting\u2014and he and his wife Diane moved to Riverside, California to be closer to his son and daughter-in-law as they started their family.\r\nIn 2016, Larry followed his new calling, and led the launch of the Legacy Coalition.  This launch was the catalyst for a national grandparenting movement.  This movement calls Christian grandparents to become intentional in perpetuating faith in their families and is characterized by grandparents first realizing their biblical role and their potential for spiritual influence, and then becoming purposeful in their interactions with their grandchildren.  \r\n\r\nNow, its 70-plus staff members and key volunteers serve local churches and equip grandparents through podcasts, webinars, blogs, printed materials, and other resources. They also conduct the only national conference on Christian grandparenting, the Legacy Grandparenting Summit. \r\n\r\nLarry and Diane have two grown children, seven grandchildren, and live in Riverside, California.","link":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/profiles\/larry-fowler\/","name":"Larry Fowler","slug":"larry-fowler","taxonomy":"cwp_profile","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"title":"","color":"","thumbnail":[{"width":256,"height":256,"file":"2024\/10\/Larry_Fowler3.jpg","filesize":129372,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"Larry_Fowler3.jpg?resize=256,256","width":256,"height":256,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":129372,"url":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Larry_Fowler3.jpg?resize=256,256"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1620950400","copyright":"Copyright Lifetouch Inc. 2021","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[]},"ID":"309675","name":"Larry_Fowler3.jpg","path":"vip:\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Larry_Fowler3.jpg","url":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Larry_Fowler3.jpg?w=256&h=256&crop=1","full_url":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Larry_Fowler3.jpg","title":"Larry_Fowler3","caption":"","description":"","alt":"","srcset":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Larry_Fowler3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1001\/2024\/10\/Larry_Fowler3.jpg?resize=256,256 256w"}],"icon":"","links":[{"text":"","url":""}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cwp_profile\/3088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cwp_profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/cwp_profile"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/art-of-marriage?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/art-of-marriage-blog?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/familylife-equip?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/small-group-study?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wtr-reviews?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wtr-speaker?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wtr-post?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/podcast?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/familylife-global?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aop?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/familylifeblended?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content_offer?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ofertas_de_contendio?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/devotionals?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ide?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/made4missions?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/missions?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partners?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/real-parent-life?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sexual-wholeness?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stepping-up?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us-latinos?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekend-to-remember?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/local-expansion?cwp_profile=3088"},{"href":"https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/www\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video-gallery-block?cwp_profile=3088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
