Leave an Inheritance to Your Grandchildren | Proverbs 13:22a | 7 September 2025 - Sunday Morning | Dr. Brad Weniger, Pastor

Grandparents are a gift from God—keepers of wisdom, love, and family history. Proverbs 17:6 reminds us that “Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.” Whether we grew up enjoying time with grandparents or carry the ache of being separated from them, God calls us to honor, treasure, and bless the generations before us. In your daily prayer and devotion, Lynette Kittle shares encouragement for grandparents who may feel overlooked or left out, and she reminds us of God’s faithfulness across every generation. Even when family relationships are strained, prayer, blessing, and forgiveness create space for healing and hope. Main Takeaways God designed grandparents to hold a place of honor within families. Grandparents pass on wisdom and faith that impact future generations. Even when relationships feel fractured, prayer is powerful in bringing restoration. Blessing others, even when it’s hard, reflects Christ’s love and keeps our hearts tender. Bible Verse References Proverbs 17:6 – Grandchildren are a crown to the aged. Psalm 119:90 – God’s faithfulness continues through all generations. 2 Timothy 1:5 – Faith passed down through generations. James 5:16 – The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Luke 6:28 – Bless those who mistreat you. Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for encouragement rooted in God’s Word.

Ted PageTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Ted Page. Ted is a marketing executive with his own firm, as well the author of several books. In this episode we discuss his early days in advertising; working for McCann- Erickson, and what led him to start his own company called Captains of Industry. Next, we get into a couple of the books that he has written previously, including a collection of family stories, and a book about branding & marketing. Then we talk about his most recent book Good Grandpa: Stories From the Heart of Grandfatherhood. Along the way, we discover that he worked with a previous guest of my show, more than 30 years ago! We dive into the impact that his own grandfathers had on him growing up, and why he felt that it was important to be that figure in the lives of his own grandchildren. We touch on the book and some of the folks that he interviewed and some of the things that he learned during this process. Ted shares anecdotes about Monarch butterflies, City Slickers, 'The Number One Thing', and 'The Greatest Generation'. This book is a fantastic read, even if you may never be a grandparent. The book is worth the read just for life lessons and the engaging stories from his family's campground on Lake Willoughby in Vermont. Special thanks to previous guest and really good dude; Greg Payne of The Cool Grandpa Podcast for making this happen. 

The sermon emphasizes the crucial role of community in shaping both children and adults, advocating for careful selection of friends and environments to foster sanctification and avoid corruption. It explores the long-term implications of financial stewardship, urging parents to leave inheritances not only for their children but also for their grandchildren, safeguarding against inflation, medical expenses, and the IRS while prioritizing the transmission of Christian values, covenantal connections, and a culture of diligent work and financial prudence to ensure multi-generational faithfulness and prosperity.

Send us a textWhen a bizarre letter surfaced on the internet, Marc Headley immediately recognized the signature—"Trudy Hensley, Letter Writer." This wasn't just any Scientology recruitment attempt; it was written by Marc's own mother, who remains deeply entrenched in the organization while completely disconnected from her family.The letter itself is absurd enough: "Well done on purchasing a book in 1999!!!" it exclaims, attempting to recruit someone who bought a Scientology book 26 years ago (and who, as it turns out, has been deceased for years). But beneath this strange marketing failure lies a heartbreaking family story that exposes Scientology's ruthless policies on family separation.Marc and Claire walk us through Scientology's "central files" system—an elaborate tracking mechanism that, according to L. Ron Hubbard policy, can never be deleted. Once your information enters these files, you're tracked for life, and apparently beyond. The organization obsessively measures statistics like "letters out" and "letters in," believing that sheer volume of communication will inevitably lead to new recruits.Trudy's journey within Scientology included years in the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), Scientology's notorious labor camp, after fighting with a high-ranking Religious Technology Center representative. Marc shares a particularly painful memory of David Miscavige himself mocking his mother during a staff meeting, calling her "the dumbest bitch in all of the Sea Org." Despite this degrading treatment, she continues to volunteer for the organization while maintaining zero contact with her own grandchildren.This episode provides a rare window into how Scientology's disconnection policy tears families apart, and how the organization's bizarre recruitment practices continue unchanged despite their obvious ineffectiveness. For anyone who's ever wondered how cults maintain control over members even when they're being mistreated, this story offers powerful insights straight from those who lived it.Have you experienced similar cult recruitment tactics or family disconnection?

Wisdom from the Past to Live in the Present SeriesKey Bible Verse: "Grandchildren are the crown of the old, and the glory of sons is their fathers." Proverbs 17:6

By Tim Martens - This message centers on three vital legacies that grandparents—both in the family and within the church—should impart to the younger generation: honor, responsibility, and inheritance.

Send us a textYour calling as a Marketplace Christian extends far beyond professional success—it encompasses creating a lasting family legacy that influences generations. Drawing from Jeremiah 29:5-7, Tyler McCart unpacks the biblical mandate to "build houses, plant gardens, take wives, and have sons and daughters" as a strategic blueprint for kingdom expansion.The concept of "starting your own nation" begins with establishing roots. When you own property, build businesses, and create stability, you're positioning yourself for greater kingdom impact. But the heart of this mandate centers on family formation. As Tyler points out, "God specifically chose Abraham because 'he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the ways of the Lord.'" Your commitment to raising godly children isn't just a personal family matter—it's a divine appointment to extend God's kingdom through generations.Perhaps most provocatively, Tyler challenges the modern reluctance toward family formation with biblical perspective: "Grandchildren are a crown to grandparents." He shares practical advice for preparing your children to make wise marriage choices, emphasizing that "next to following Christ, the choice of a mate is the most important decision your children will make." Rather than leaving this to chance, Tyler advocates intentional coaching on character traits and relationship development.The blueprint expands beyond family walls to community engagement. Like Mordecai, Joseph, and Daniel who influenced pagan governments from within, you're called to "seek the welfare of the city" where you're planted. Your sphere of influence represents your unique territory for kingdom impact—relationships you build intentionally that establish Christ's presence in places that might otherwise remain untouched. Will you step up as the point person for your family's legacy and your community's transformation?Support the show

Over the July 4th holiday weekend, while you were grilling burgers and watching fireworks, President Trump signed his landmark, One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law after some back and forth between the House and Senate. While this budget package includes many changes, on today's show we'll be touching on a few aspects of this new legislation and some sweeping impacts on tax and spending that will no doubt leave its mark on the U.S. economy. But in what capacity? We'll discuss how we may expect to see these provisions show up, show off and throw down in the years ahead. Then, if we have time, we'll shift gears to grandparenting in 2025. There's an old proverb that says, “Grandchildren are the crown on the aged.” We'll talk about some fun facts, financial planning strategies and helpful hints to consider while investing in the next generation. Tune in and take control!
