In fact, we were talking about the event you are going to be speaking at in November at Stonebriar Church in Dallas. This is a national conference on grandparenting; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Josh:<\/strong> Absolutely\u2014first one.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And I said to her: \"When we raised our kids, we really operated more in the moment than we did with a road map. We parented for today and tried to deal with today\u2019s dilemmas; because doesn't the Bible say, \u2018Let tomorrow worry about itself\u2019?\u201d I mean, we were trying to apply that Scripture\u2014no!\u00a0 We didn't have the intentionality\u2014that I look back and wish we had had and implemented. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>11:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMaryAnn said: \"So we\u2019ve got five grandkids. What are we doing in terms of being intentional with them?\u201d And I thought, \"Nothing.\" \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWere you marked by your grandparents?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Josh:<\/strong> I love my grandparents very much. Their influence and impact was limited, spiritually. Part of what I have done\u2014investing in this with my life\u2014is because I don't want this to be the case with my grandkids. I'd like to see something different for them. In my own life, my mother died eight years ago from ALS. My mother-in-law \/ my wife's mother died two years ago from brain cancer. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So your kids are growing up without grandma.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Josh: <\/strong>Without grandma. By God's grace, my father remarried a wonderful godly woman. Her name's Pam, and my kids call her Grammy Pammy. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>So you have a blended\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Josh:<\/strong> We have a blended family. We love Pam to death, and Pam has done a phenomenal job trying to step into that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat's one of the practical applications that I think a lot of families need today\u2014in the sense that\u2014because the subject matter in our society\u2014there is really a lot of confusion about the role of grandparents. It\u2019s left it on a family-by-family basis to talk about \u201cWhat does that role look like?\u201d\u00a0 We need to get those expectations on the table. So if there is one of the takeaways you have from this discussion, practically, is: \u201cJust sit down and have that discussion: \u2018What does it look like to invest, as grandparents, to invest in grandkids?\u2019\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe adult children are the gatekeepers in the relationship. This needs to be a subject that is understood, not just by those who are older, but also by those who are younger, raising their kids right now.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I don't want to get too focused on the obstacles here, but there are a couple of obstacles I want you to speak into. One is\u2014we're such a mobile society. When our six kids grew up, they all fled the penitentiary. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, they escaped and they decided they would move to other places. We love them \/ they love us, but none of them\u2014none of our grandkids are local. They are in four different states. Fortunately, we live in one of them; but we are still 100 miles away from our grandkids. The others are Colorado, Indiana, and Tennessee. Speak to the mobility issue and how parents can tackle this and not be overcome by it or be discouraged by it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Josh:<\/strong> Well, certainly, it is a limiting factor for some\u2014grandparenting will have to take a different shape. Thankfully, due to technology, that is more doable today than it was in the past. A friend of mine, named Walt Pettigrew [spelling uncertain], has created an online resource called <em>Love Your Reader<\/em>. Resources like this allow grandparents to connect with their grandkids. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>14:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u00a0Say you want to do a devotion with your grandkid, but they live a thousand miles away. You can go and record that on a resource like <em>Love You Reader<\/em> and then email that digitally to your grandkid. They can open it up and hear you reading a passage of Scripture in your own voice to them as they follow along in the Bible. Things like that are wonderful for long distance grandparents. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey need to give intentionality to connecting regularly, whether that is for coming and traveling\u2014and you\u2019re going to spend a week or two together: \u201cWe're going to come out to Grandma and Grandpa Camp and bring kids out to visit and spend some time with you.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne of the pieces for those who are far apart from their grandkids and aren't able to invest\u2014the opportunity to be a spiritual grandparent for others exists and to adopt some in their church and neighborhood that they are living by. That has been a great blessing for many young people, and I would encourage some to consider that. That would be a great blessing for many.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I\u2019m sure there are listeners, right now, who are facing another obstacle. It\u2019s not one in our family\u2014our kids are kind of nibbling at our heels, saying: \u201cCome on! Come on over here more often. Stay at our house more often. Spend more time with us.\u201d\u00a0 But undoubtedly, there are grandparents who\u2014and I know some\u2014who say, \"My kids really don't want my involvement in the grandkids\u2019 lives.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes; the gatekeepers have shut the gate\u2014\u201cWe want to try to influence our grandkids, but we\u2019ve been shut out.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> They don't want the spiritual influence\u2014it may be as blunt as that. It could be the relational influence, but it could also be the spiritual teaching and telling that we're talking about here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Josh:<\/strong> Yes; it's heartbreaking when that happens. You know, I think that is where grandparents are always on their knees praying. For some, the reality is there may be a relational piece that needs attention. There may be some confession that needs to happen that they need to go to their adult child and own up to some things and restore relationships so that can change. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Let me stop you there. You\u2019re saying: \u201cIf you\u2019re being shut out by your kids, maybe do a little holy introspection and evaluate\u2014ask God\u2014to say, \u201cHave I done something to wound this child?\u201d and to humble yourself and to go to your adult child and to open that door, at least, to the possibility of reconciliation.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Josh:<\/strong> Absolutely. And that\u2019s obviously not the case for every single instance like this but it may be for some. And that may be the piece that the adult child needs to say, \u201cI needed to hear that, and I embrace that.\u201d\u00a0 They need to own their piece as well, which I am sure there\u2019s a component of. Through God's grace, hopefully, there\u2019s some reconciliation there and that changes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u00a0In the event where the adult child has walked away from the Lord or is uninterested in anything spiritual, that\u2019s a difficult situation. One of the areas that we found as a good entry piece, for those parents that aren\u2019t interested in their kids going to church \/\u00a0 bringing their kids\u2014grandparents can say, \u201cCan I bring them?\u201d\u2014many an adult child will say,\u201d Yes.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnother great entry point is through music. We find, where many adult children\u2014that aren\u2019t interested in anything biblical\/spiritual\u2014they won't be reading the Bible\u2014they\u2019ll play a CD \/ they\u2019ll listen to music. If you are intentional about the music that is being listened to, God's Word can come in through another angle. So there are opportunities; and obviously, that doesn\u2019t minimize the heart pain that is there or the challenges that are going to be present. I won't say that it\u2019s an easy quick fix, but those are some ideas I have seen work.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> If the gate\u2019s been shut and the parent says, \"We don't want you talking about Jesus and the Bible with our kids,\"\u2014as grandparents, do you respect that boundary or do you say, \u201cWait; I\u2019ve got a Great Commission I\u2019m supposed to follow; and I don't care what you want.\u201d\u00a0 What's your counsel to a grandparent at that point?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Josh:<\/strong> Navigate wisely. But yes; we obviously want to be obedient to the Lord. As I look in Scripture, I don't see any instance where, when somebody says, \u201cDon't speak of the name of Christ,\u201d that there\u2019s agreement to not do that. But obviously, you need to have discernment in how you do that and when you do that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I'd just say there\u2014I would encourage grandparents\u2014and it may sound a little counter-intuitive at this point\u2014but view it as a long haul. They may say to me, \u201cWait a second, Dennis; I don't look like I have that much of a long haul!\u201d\u00a0 [Laughter] \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut I think they ought to think about \u201cHow can I win the trust of my adult children so that they will allow me to have, not only a relationship, but able to speak into the needs of that child's soul?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLet me promise you something\u2014life has a way of opening up some pretty hard slammed doors. Circumstances can cause those doors to be flung open, especially if the grandchildren start struggling with issues. Then it\u2019s good to be there\u2014it\u2019s good to have your relationship with your adult children intact so that you can offer a solution, or a word of encouragement, or even come be a part of the solution for that grandchild.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I think the theme we keep hitting on, as we talk about this, is the theme of being purposeful and being intentional. Many grandparents are casual about their role rather than being deliberate and intentional. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd of course, I\u2019m thinking of you [Dennis]; because one of your kids named you \u201cMr. Intentional\u201d; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>20:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes; but I kind of share your dilemma, Bob, about what MaryAnn said to you: \u201cWe've got these grandkids. What are we going to do now?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>The whole intentionality is one thing if they are under your roof. When they are not under your roof, you really do have to take a step back. I think what Josh has written, in a book called <em>Equipping Grandparents<\/em>\u2014which is really written for the church\u2014helping your church reach and disciple the next generation\u2014which, frankly, is a great idea. If the church began to equip grandparents to feel more comfortable and be intention, Bob, I think that would go a long way towards solving the issues.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, we haven\u2019t talked about this, but you may not have grandchildren of your own; but if you are part of a church community, there are children in your church that you can be a grandparent to. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>21:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOr you may be in a blended family and you may have stepchildren that you can pour yourself into. I think the point is that we have opportunity to invest, significantly, in the lives of the next generation to pass along a legacy of spiritual vitality to a coming generation. That\u2019s a part of the assignment God has given to us, as grandparents. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou\u2019re going to be talking about this, Josh, along with a whole group of speakers, at the Legacy Grandparenting Summit in Frisco, Texas, November 15-17.
