Dr. Rob Rienow is a former pastor and co-founder with his wife Amy of Visionary Family Ministries, an organization that equips parents and grandparents with resources and teaching for making disciples of their children and grandchildren. In this spirited conversation with Wayne Rice and John Coulombe, Rob provides help, encouragement and ideas for parents and grandparents who have prodigal children—adult children who have walked away from their faith. He discusses sensitive topics such as how to navigate when children “divorce” their parents and how to protect family harmony when one or more children choose to distance themselves from their family’s faith and values. Rob also discusses his newly released “Never Too Late: A Powerful Video Bible Study for Parents of Adult Children” and offers a generous discount on this product to Legacy Grandparenting listeners. Listen to this podcast and you will receive renewed hope in God’s power to heal and restore family relationships.
