Key Takeaways:


Grandparents are an undervalued resource in both religious organizations and broader society, possessing valuable insights and life experiences.


Many grandparents today are playing crucial roles in the lives of their grandchildren, often stepping in as caregivers due to family disruptions.


There is a cultural tendency to marginalize the elderly, prompting a need for societal shift to honor and include the older generation in meaningful ways.


Grandparental love and intervention can profoundly influence their grandchildren's lives, offering a sense of continuity and stability.


Encouraging stories of grandparental sacrifice and commitment are vital for inspiring support and recognition of their pivotal role in family structures.

Notable Quotes:


I think I still believe we have value as a generation that can provide insight and wisdom in how to actually continue your journey into the future.


There's great value in sharing who you are and what you've done and sharing about how you've lived this life and how others have influenced you.


People need lots of blood. You know, go and be a blood donor... go and start to rethink how you think about who you are and step out of that box you might be in.


The true value of grandparents today is showing grandkids that there is another way to grow and to enjoy the life that you have.


We underestimate the value of grandparents in this century. And I think there's far more we can give to others that help them follow in our footsteps.
