7 Essentials
There are 7 essential practices that you can implement into your life and home so you can thrive in your walk with Christ. Some of these, are part of your daily routine, while others are more seasonal. The daily practices we call THE BIG 3. They are PRAY, BIBLE READING, and FAITH-TALK. The other four (WORSHIP, CHRISTIAN RESOURCES, SERVICE, MISSIONS) may be more weekly or seasonal, however there's nothing stopping you from practicing all of these on a daily basis.
As a grandparent it requires you to follow after Christ and speak of Him to your children and grandchildren.
Psalm 78
He decreed statutes...
which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children,
so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born,
and they in turn would tell their children.
Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds
but would keep his commands.

Many grandparents find themselves “parenting” their grandchildren or being the primary spiritual influence in the lives of their grandchildren and they are looking for help. Pastor Mark Holmen surveyed over 200 grandparents and asked, “What is preventing you from being a spiritual influence in the lives of your adult children and grandchildren?” What surfaced were two tactics and five specific roadblocks that Satan uses to keep grandparents out of the game as spiritual influences in the lives of the children and children’s children. Pastor Mark then asked grandparents to provide practical ways they have overcome these roadblocks and tactics which he then reveals. Faith @Home Grandparents identifies the problems grandparent face and provides practical solutions, that other grandparents have used, to become effective spiritual influences in the lives of their adult children and grandchildren.

As a parent you are leaving an impression on your children that is going to last them their lifetime. The question becomes, what type of impression are you leaving and is that impression going to lead them towards or away from having a lasting faith in Jesus Christ? At the end of the day, the most important thing we can lead our children to have is faith in Jesus Christ because through faith in Him they can have eternal life. So, how do we lead children to have faith in Christ? That's what Pastor Holmen will reveal based on the work and research he has been doing for over 15 years. Pastor Mark's desire for parents to be "impressive" parents who succeed in leading their children to have faith in Christ is evident as he shares many practical ideas as well as personal letters at the end of each chapter written to a parent who was struggling, as all parents do, to practice this in daily life.
