We live in a broken world, and that brokenness often begins in the family. Patterns of addiction, abuse, sexual immorality, greed, and selfishness can start within family relationships and be passed on from generation to generation and transferred to the greater culture at large.

Each year provides new opportunities for grandparents like you to pass on your faith to your grandkids.
