Hi, I’m Gayle Veitenheimer. Every week, I offer practical hands-on activities to help grandparents enthusiastically share their faith with their grandkids. Seminary-trained, so you don’t have to be, I bring fresh ideas for teaching Scripture and principles from God’s Word. I’ll share prayers for intercession and ways to build character and connection with your grandchildren.  I hope to give you a voice because staying silent places future generations at risk.  As an author, I weave my passion for Scripture with my calling to write by crafting adventurous tales and creative non-fiction that encourage kids to walk out their faith. The Kingswell Kid Detective series, co-authored with my writer friend Jen Weaver, debuts this May. Mother of four and GG to six, I love Jesus, CrossFit, running, hiking, national parks, my Belgian Malinois Blaze, and a great story. Thankfully, my husband is a good sport about it.  Find me at gayleveitenheimer.com.

    How to Become a Bold, Brave, and Be There Grandparent

    As Christian grandparents, how do we Go BIG? In today’s episode, we explore the letter B. B for Bold. B for Brave. And B for Be There. I love to hike. Trails speak to me of adventure, growth, and connection. There are trails I’ve hiked many times and there have been times when I hired a guide because the trail was new to me. We’re on a faith journey just like our grandkids. Like the familiar trail of a favorite hike, we've walked this faith ground before. We can guide our grandkids as they walk this narrow path, be it the early steps of childhood, the awkward years of middle and high school, or the exciting newness of college and early adulthood. Our faith, our calmness in crisis (God's peace), and our godly wisdom can help them navigate the tricky parts of the trail. Here’s how.
