In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss a topic that is near and dear to Dr. White's heart - the relational dynamic between parents and grandparents. As a father of four children and a grandfather to 16 grandchildren, this is a topic where he is very well versed. Marriage and family are foundational institutions in God's created order of our world. And when those families break down, particularly when there are divides and discord between parents and grandparents, the younger generations are impacted in countless ways. Episode Links As Alexis mentioned at the top of the episode, many of the topics covered on the Church & Culture Podcast are inspired by blogs that Dr. White has written. For those new to the podcast, the Church & Culture Blog is where Dr. White releases two reflections each week about a wide assortment of topics related to the church's engagement with the modern world. If you aren't currently a subscriber, you can click HERE to subscribe now. For this week's podcast, there are three recent blogs that Dr. White has written that we'd suggest you to go back and read. They are: “A Vision for Grandparenting,” “Grandparent-to-Parent Mistakes” and “Parent-to-Grandparent Mistakes.” And again, this topic is so important because it's absolutely a part of the vision for family that is outlined in the Bible. Dr. White mentioned a book written by Paul and Diana Miller called A Guide to Great Grandparenting, which talked about this idea of a “family trinity.” When these relationships are healthy, you find that you have healthy and functional young people being raised. He also talked about a large national study on how parents can best pass on their faith to the next generation. You can read more about this in Handing Down the Faith: How Parents Pass their Religion on to the Next Generation written by Christian Smith and Amy Adamczyk. There are two articles that were applicable to today's conversation that we want to share with you: Rheana Murray, “‘Grandparenting on Eggshells,'” The Atlantic, November 26, 2025. Dr. Perri Klass, “5 Common Mistakes Grandparents Make, According to a Pediatrician,” The Washington Post, November 17, 2025. Finally, as mentioned this is a topic on which Dr. White has a lot of experience to draw from. And over the years at Mecklenburg Community Church, he's given many series that fall under the category of “Marriage & Family.” You can find those series gathered at Church & Culture HERE. In addition to the blog, we'd encourage you to check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday. We'd also love to hear from you if there is a topic that you'd like to see discussed on the Church & Culture Podcast in an upcoming episode.

In this episode of The David Watson Podcast, I sit down with Dr Peter B. Cotton – world-renowned gastroenterologist and creator of the award-winning “Fred the Snake” children's book series – to talk about life after medicine, story-telling, and why his endoscope turned into a lovable snake called Fred. Peter has written 10 rhyming picture books for children about Fred the Snake and his friends, including the brand-new “When Fred the Snake and Friends Learn the Chinese Zodiac – and the Great Race”. We talk about how a career pioneering flexible endoscopy and ERCP became the unexpected inspiration for a gentle snake who teaches road safety, friendship, travel, and courage to kids and grandkids around the world. In this conversation we cover: • How a flexible endoscope became “Fred the Snake” and the start of a bedtime story • Turning that original road-safety rhyme into the first book, “When Fred the Snake Got Squished and Mended” • Why all the Fred books are written in rhyme and built around simple morals for children • The new Chinese Zodiac book and the story of the Great Race – explaining years, animals and culture to kids • Fred going to school, camping, the beach and traveling across the USA (East, Central and West) • The difference between writing scientific papers and imaginative children's books • What Peter has learned about confidence, voice and “writing what you're actually good at” • Grandparents, puppets and why reading to children still matters in a digital world • Growing up in Herefordshire, training at Cambridge and in London, and why he moved to the USA • Life on a small island in South Carolina, golf stories from around the world, and finally “hanging up” the clubs • Reflections on retirement, legacy, family and finding a second creative career later in life If you're a parent, grandparent, educator or aspiring children's author, this episode is full of ideas about how to combine fun, rhyme and gentle life lessons in stories for young readers.

In this episode, I sit down with Deedee Moore of More Than Grand to talk about something so many families quietly wrestle with: over-gifting from grandparents. Together, we dig into why it happens, how it feels, and what we can do to bridge the gap with more empathy and clearer communication. Both perspectives matter: The parent perspective (how too many gifts can create stress, clutter, or guilt) AND the grandparent perspective (how giving is often an expression of love, connection, and identity). We explore the sweet intentions behind the gifts, the frustration that can happen on the receiving end, and the simple conversations that can help everyone feel heard. This conversation is full of compassion, aha moments, and practical ideas for strengthening those precious family relationships—without letting “stuff” get in the way.

The Indiana Senate will meet today to discuss a congressional map that would flip Indiana's two Democratic congressional seats for Republicans. President Donald Trump posted on social media over the weekend, congratulating the Indiana House for passing a new congressional map. Indiana House Republicans have approved a controversial new congressional map that would dismantle the state's biggest Democratic stronghold. Indiana University trustees came to their South Bend campus Friday for their monthly meeting, where they approved the final criteria for how faculty will be judged in annual reviews. A new volunteer group is tapping into the power of grandparents — and their memories of life before routine vaccines.

“If you get on cruise control and let everything start festering, it's gonna find a way to get out somehow…everybody makes mistakes, I made one and I apologized for it and moved on, and I'm better for it now.” Desmond Bane In one of the most authentic and real conversations we've had on The Pivot Podcast, Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder sit with Orlando Magic star Desmond Bane — a player whose journey is as powerful as his jump shot and deep roots that have grounded him since day one. With humility at his core in all he does, Bane's talents have often been overshadowed by his quiet demeanor but this off season his value was at the forefront, when Orlando traded for the young star solidifying his place as one of the top players in the NBA. Bane opens up about the early adversity that fueled his rise, the overlooked beginnings that pushed him to grind harder than the next guy, and the deep bond he built with Ja Morant in Memphis — a brotherhood formed through shared battles, growth, and the pressures of leading a young franchise. Now, after a blockbuster trade to Orlando, Bane talks candidly about embracing a new chapter and the responsibility of being a cornerstone for a young Magic squad. He opens up on how it took a little while trying to find his place in a new arena and gives context to the uncharacteristic game ejection early on, and shares what one thing clicked that has fueled his explosive run, including his back-to-back 37-point performances that set the tone for what's becoming a breakout year in his new uniform and has his team 4-0 in the NBA Cup. Raised by his grandparents in the tight-knit community of Richmond, Indiana, Bane reflects on how small-town values, discipline, and love shaped the competitor and man he is today. It wasn't an easy path and the young star reveals his personal anxiety battles and how he redefined his path. He talks about the pain of loss and how his wife and kids helped him redefine purpose after grieving from so much change. And in a rare pivotal moment on the show, Desmond flips the conversation to Ryan, Channing and Fred, asking them how life is for them and how they have handled certain changes....truly a powerful part of the episode. Authentic, honest, and inspiring, this conversation captures Desmond Bane at a pivotal moment — reflecting on where he came from, honoring the people who raised him, and stepping boldly into the player he's proving he can be.

(The podcast may contain sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.)This is a very important podcast and one that every parent, teacher, coach, and faith-based leader should hear.Yes. It happened again. In November, a West Virginia 15-year old teen boy took his own life after becoming the latest victim of a sextortion scam.Are we ready to say NEVER AGAIN should we lose a brilliant young person to sextortion because they didn't know. Because their parents didn't know. Because their pastor didn't know. Because their teacher didn't know. Because everyone wants to believe "it would never happen to my child." THIS IS FOR EVERY PARENT, GRANDPARENT, TEACHER, PASTOR, YOUTH MINISTER, SPORTS COACH, CIVIC LEADER AND ANYONE WHO IS INVOLVED WITH YOUNG PEOPLE. Education and a conversation can make a difference. We take a look at the devastating impact of sextortion on young people and it is time for us all to say NEVER AGAIN. Are you ready to step up and help us get the message out there to parents, teachers, coaches and the faith-based community?

What happens when you discover that the reason your father never speaks about his parents or his childhood growing up in Hawaii is because his mother, father, and older sister were Nazi spies? And not just any Nazi spies–the spies sent by Berlin to help the Japanese surveil Pearl Harbor.Chris­tine Kuehn was living a qui­et sub­ur­ban life when a mys­te­ri­ous let­ter in 1994 pierced that bub­ble, send­ing her on a thir­ty-year quest to dis­cov­er the truth behind a hor­ren­dous fam­i­ly secret kept hid­den for half a cen­tu­ry. The result is the new book, FAMILY OF SPIES. Fol­low­ing a career in jour­nal­ism, pub­lic rela­tions, and non­prof­its, Chris­tine now lives in Mary­land with her hus­band, Mark Schiponi, who helped her research the book for 30 years.In this conversation, Greg Olear talks to the couple about how the book came to be, the long and unusual research process, and the emotional impact of learning the truth.Buy the book:https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250344465/familyofspies/Support the podcast:gregolear.substack.com Make America Great Gatsby Again!https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-great-gatsby-four-sticks-press-centennial-edition/e701221776c88f86?ean=9798985931976&next=tSubscribe to The Five 8:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0BRnRwe7yDZXIaF-QZfvhACheck out ROUGH BEAST, Greg's new book:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D47CMX17ROUGH BEAST is now available as an audiobook:https://www.audible.com/pd/Rough-Beast-Audiobook/B0D8K41S3T Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – In many ways, holiday movies serve as bridges between generations. Grandparents may prefer classics like Miracle on 34th Street, while younger family members gravitate toward modern comedies. Watching these films together creates opportunities for conversation, laughter, and shared appreciation. It is a reminder that traditions are not static—they grow, adapt, and...

Welcome to some bonus content with Lee Cole, and we're talking about how he used an old book he found at his grandparents to help build the world and characters in his novels.  Plus, you're going to hear some extra bits about writing heroes and villains.  Fulfillment, Lee Cole's second novel, follows two half brothers whose clashing ambitions—Emmett's longing to be a screenwriter and his brother's academic ideals about “rural despair”—go beyond a simple difference in worldview. Something deeper threatens to pull them apart. Lee is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, is also the author of Groundskeeping. Both his novels were published by Faber in the U.K. The New York Times has described his work as “Anne Tyler by way of Sally Rooney.” Originally from Kentucky, Lee joins me today from Philadelphia.   Buy Lee Cole's book here https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/ripplingpagespod Support the Rippling Pages on a new Patreon https://patreon.com/RipplingPagesPod?utm_medi Interested in hosting your own podcast?

Ever catch yourself saying something your grandma used to say — and realizing it actually makes sense now?

Photo by Mathurin NAPOLY / matnapo on Unsplash Opposition to vaccines by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as the governor and surgeon general for the state of Florida, is striking fear in the hearts of public health experts and those who have vulnerable children. HealthCetera Correspondent and school nurse Robin Cogan, RN, MS, FAAN, spoke with Teri Mills, RN, MS, CNE, and Donna Gaffney, RN, PhD, FAAN, two nurses who are using their roles and power as grandparents to remind people of what life—and death—was like for children before we had vaccines. They talk about Grandparents For Vaccines, an initiative that seeks to harness grandparent knowledge and experience with prior epidemics like polio and measles to discuss the life-saving value of today’s vaccines for their grandchildren and other children. The post Grandparents For Vaccines appeared first on HealthCetera.

Children need a lot of people in their lives who love them. Grandparents are ideal to take on that role! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/779/29?v=20251111

Grandparents for Vaccines is a nationwide nonprofit that aims to educate the current generation of parents about vaccine-preventable diseases. Launched in September, the group has produced videos of grandparents describing what it was like to endure or witness their friends, classmates and relatives battle illnesses such as polio, measles and pertussis before vaccines for them existed.   The group’s launch comes amid rising vaccine skepticism fueled by misinformation about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.  A recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation and The Washington Post showed that 1 in 6 parents in the US have delayed or skipped vaccines for their children. Teri Mills is a founding member of Grandparents for Vaccines and a retired public health nurse who was named "Oregon Nurse of the Year" in 2019 by the Oregon Nurse Foundation. She joins us along with Sheri Schouten, a retired public health nurse and former Oregon state lawmaker, to talk about their work with Grandparents for Vaccines.

Beth gently holds space, offering reassurance, validation and the reminder that worry often shows up when we're standing on the edge of something beautiful.Beth's growing pain is a little more tick tick boom -  quite literally.

Our Love You for You series features conversations between trans and nonbinary youth from across California and the people in their lives who love and mentor them: parents, grandparents, siblings and others. This week, we'll hear how grandparents' hearts can be moved by having a transgender grandchild, and how that can expand the worldview of someone who may not be connected to the LGBTQ+ community. We'll hear from a 10-year-old transgender girl in conversation with her older sister and their grandfather. He lives in a rural California county, where many of his neighbors and hunting buddies don't have much exposure to the transgender community.  We'll also meet a 14-year-old nonbinary kid whose grandmother lives in India, where she's become a fierce advocate for transgender and nonbinary youth. She's taken on the challenge of explaining her grandchild's gender to her relatives who are 90+ years old. Read the transcript for this episode. Learn more about your ad choices.
