Amy is joined by Tricia Scribner to encourage and equip grandparents for intentional discipleship. Using the cultural moment sparked by Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Tricia challenges older believers not to “pass the baton,” but to “get in the game.”Grandparents often underestimate their influence, yet they are among the top voices teens turn to for questions about faith and life. Tricia emphasizes that this season of life—with more free time and hard-earned wisdom—is ideal for re-engaging in spiritual formation. She counters the lies that older Christians “can’t learn” or are “no longer relevant,” offering practical ways to grow in apologetics, engage in conversations, and model critical thinking. Even when direct conversations aren’t possible due to strained family dynamics, Tricia shares creative approaches like journaling, writing in Bibles, and asking thoughtful questions.This episode is a call to action: your role in discipleship matters deeply. Whether you’re a parent feeling behind or a grandparent feeling distant, now is the time to step into your influence with purpose and truth.Main Points CoveredThe role and relevance of grandparents in faith formationChallenges older generations face with technology, memory, and cultural shiftsCombating lies of irrelevance and incapability among mature ChristiansBiblical call to continue running the race—“not time to pass the baton”Discipling grandchildren with discernment and cultural awarenessSocratic questioning and critical thinking as tools for engagementBalancing boldness and relational wisdom with adult childrenPractical steps for growing in apologetics and theology at any ageTestimonies of generational faithfulness and influenceResources MentionedScriptures:Romans 12:18Matthew 5:44Our SponsorsAirDoctorAmericans take about 20,000 breaths a day and spend an average of 90% of their time indoors.
