You don't have to be a child's primary caregiver to shape their faith — a grandparent's influence, even in small, occasional moments, can leave a lasting mark.
“Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw... but make them known to your children and your children's children.” (Deuteronomy 4:9, WEB)
Scripture itself assumes faith is something passed down across generations, not just parent to child.
Simple Ways to Share Faith During a Visit
Read a book together and talk about it afterward. Play a worship song in the car. Say a short prayer before a meal, out loud, together. Tell a story from your own life about a time your faith mattered to you — kids remember real stories more than lessons. Ask your grandchild what they're learning about God right now, and just listen.
You Don't Need a Program
None of this requires a curriculum or a special occasion — it works in ordinary visits, phone calls, and shared meals.
See our Books That Teach Values for read-together options, or browse our music for songs to share.
Little Lamb Studios creates faith-based books, songs, and animated stories that help children grow in faith, courage, and kindness.
