1. Courageous Grandparenting seminar
   This conference/seminar include five sessions exploring God’s call upon Christian grandparents to stay in the race, fight the good fight, and finish the race well so another generation may know the truth and walk in it. The five 45-minute sessions include: WAKE UP!-Building a Legacy That Matters; TAKE UP!-Two Pivotal Roles; BUILD UP!-Unleashing the Power of Spoken Blessing: GEAR UP!-Allies or Adversaries; STEP UP!-Take Back the Hill Country.
2. Not On Our Watch Seminar
   According to Judges 2, we are reminded that within two generations after the Israelites entered the Promised Land, “there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that He had done for Israel.” Will we allow the same failure to tell another generation the praiseworthy deeds of God to happen on our watch? This five-session seminar includes these topics: A Prescription for the Elderitis Virus; The Issachar Factor; Technology, Truth, and Other Tough Topics; Five Non-Negotiable Roles (2 sessions).
3. 3 Gen Men’s Retreat: (Fathers, Sons, Grandfathers)
   This two-night retreat is designed for grandfathers, adult sons (or sons-in-law), and grandsons. Besides lots of fun activities we will do together, we’ll explore what it means to be a man, a godly man, and a Christ-honoring family man. We’ll explore our family trees, unpack how our history shapes who we are, and examine God’s view of manhood versus how culture views it. Locations and dates will be announced.
4. Your Lasting Will seminar
   Unlike a last will and testament or the typical living will that describes when we want to be unplugged, this seminar explores a different kind of living will. A “living, living will” focuses on what it means to live “plugged in” to God’s purposes now. We’ll explore how to identify and examine ways to distribute both material and non-material assets while you are still living, rather than waiting till you die. This three-hour seminar for adults of any age, including grandparents, will introduce you to an unusual family approach to the stewardship of assets God has given you for His purposes.

2. Gospel Shaped Family Conference
   The Gospel Shaped Family conference is designed to equip families to raise children and grandchildren with a deep, lasting, culture-transforming faith. God designed families to shape the next generation with the gospel, give them a biblical view of life, and be the primary means to help children and grandchildren mature in Christ.
3. Various Grandparenting topics that can fit in your venue
   • How To Help a Child or Grandchild Develop a Biblical Worldview
     Learn what worldview is, why it matters and how to help your child or grandchild develop a biblical worldview by teaching four foundational biblical truths. This seminar will help you gain confidence and equip you to have intentional conversations so that your children develop deep, lasting, and culture transforming faith. This seminar is based on Josh’s book Biblical Worldview.
   • 4 Ways to Help Children Understand and Defend Their Faith
     This seminar will equip you to help children recognize cultural lies, provide practical ways that you can integrate apologetics into your ministry, and introduce you to key tools to aid your children’s ministry.
   • The Authority and Sufficiency of Scripture
     Many Christians look to science, experience, or other sources for guidance and unintentionally replace the authority of God’s Word for something else. In this seminar you will learn how to help your child strengthen their belief in God’s Word through three questions, reasons the Bible is true and trustworthy, and applications to all of life.

The Millers are experienced speakers at conferences, workshops, seminars and events at churches and other venues (including GrandCamp) for audiences consisting of grandparents, parents, or both. Depending on an event’s setting and duration, their presentations can include one or more of the following example topics.

You can contact the Millers at pmiller@christiangrandparenting.com.

1. The God-Given and God-Driven Family Trinity – This concept describes the relationships, roles, and responsibilities in three-generation families. A new Family Trinity begins when a couple becomes parents and is complete when their children have children. The family enjoys great benefits when God is at its center and everyone seeks to follow His will. A family that understands the Trinity can maximize its love for and ministry to others while minimizing conflict and other issues.
2. Teaching Responsibilities in the Family Trinity – The Family Trinity concept shows that parents should instruct their children what to do and how to do it and may apply discipline to ensure they learn. As their offspring mature toward and into adulthood, wise parents change to coaching them by asking questions, making suggestions, and standing aside without discipline. Wise grandparents teach their grandchildren by modeling God-honoring wisdom and behavior while respecting the parents’ instructional goals.
3. There’s More to Grandparenting than the Grandchildren – Some grandparents understandably but mistakenly focus primarily on the grandchildren. Instead, they best help the family by having a mature adult-to-adult relationship with the parents that supports their efforts without undermining or contradiction. As a simple example, thoughtful grandparents show respect for the parents when they initiate their phone calls by asking them how they are doing before inquiring about the grandchildren.
4. The Maturity Matrix – This concept identifies four possible categories of relationships between grandparents and parents. The best situations are created when grandparents fully release the parents to be independent adults and the parents fully embrace their independence. Difficulties arise when grandparents do not release their adult children and/or when adult children choose to remain dependent. Families who understand this matrix are more likely to enjoy positive relationships while avoiding conflicts.
5. The Perils of Spoiling, Gift-Giving and Baby-Sitting – Some grandparents mistakenly believe it’s suitable for them to inundate their grandchildren with gifts even though doing so can harm the parents’ relationships with the grandchildren. Rather, it’s far better when the grandparents are thoughtfully generous instead of selfishly lavish. Other conflicts can be avoided when grandparents don’t break the parents’ rules when they’re baby-sitting and when parents don’t exhaust the grandparents’ goodwill and energy by requesting their help too frequently.
6. Helping Parents and Grandparents become “GrandPartners” – Parents and grandparents who have God-driven adult-to-adult relationships can cooperate in helping the grandchildren become Christ-following adults. The two generations will benefit from clear communications about the parents’ goals for their children, their teaching strategies, their other challenges, and their expectations about how the grandparents can help. Likewise, parents should respect the grandparents’ needs to conserve time and energy for non-family activities.
7. How to Establish, Maintain and Honor Boundaries Between Generations – Although the word “boundaries” may suggest that conflict exists, establishing mutually agreed-upon expectations always promotes harmonious and productive relationships. Our guidance can help both generations create and operate within loving limits and thus avoid imposition, misunderstanding and other uncomfortable outcomes. For example, wise grandparents avoid making the parents look ungenerous by asking for and honoring their requests for the gifts they want their children to receive.
8. Planting the Seeds of a GrandPartnership Before the Grandchildren Are Born, and After – Adult children and their parents are wise when they build mutually beneficial relationships between them before grandchildren arrive. Doing so leads to smoother transitions into helpful grandparent-parent relationships. Of course, their relationships must continue growing and deepening, eventually preparing both of them for the “role-reversal” stage when grandparents need their adult children to assist them in many different ways
9. Grandparenting in difficult situations – All families face the possibility of encountering one or more of the “Destructive ‘D’ Factors,” such as disability, disease, deployment, death, and divorce.
10. Grandparenting in special situations – Many grandparents are challenged (and rewarded with great blessings) by adapting to unfamiliar situations, such as when their adult children marry someone from a different background, adopt a child, or have a child with special needs. These events give grandparents wonderful opportunities to show extra grace and understanding, as well as love, patience, flexibility and generosity. We know from personal experience that the end results are amazing!

We will ALL leave a legacy. The legacy we will leave is being defined by the life we lead today.

Legacy of Faith is an intimate and uplifting retreat exclusively for grandparent couples desiring generational impact and a spiritual legacy that outlives them.

Through Scripture, we examine God’s directives for grandparents and the importance of passing along stories of His greatness, as well as personal God stories to future generations for His glory.

We provide practical and applicable tools as we address potential threats and barriers to building your Legacy of Faith, such as…prodigal children/grandchildren, family resistance to God, long-distance grandparenting, complex family dynamics, past regrets, and cross-generational communication.

You will be encouraged as you fellowship with other godly grandparents; sharing experiences, ideas, prayers, and wisdom. There is no other retreat like this anywhere in the U.S.!
