The Christian Grandparenting Podcast
Hi, I’m Gayle Veitenheimer. Every week, I offer practical hands-on activities to help grandparents enthusiastically share their faith with their grandkids. Seminary-trained, so you don’t have to be, I bring fresh ideas for teaching Scripture and principles from God’s Word. I’ll share prayers for intercession and ways to build character and connection with your grandchildren.
I hope to give you a voice because staying silent places future generations at risk.
As an author, I weave my passion for Scripture with my calling to write by crafting adventurous tales and creative non-fiction that encourage kids to walk out their faith. The Kingswell Kid Detective series, co-authored with my writer friend Jen Weaver, debuts this May. Mother of four and GG to six, I love Jesus, CrossFit, running, hiking, national parks, my Belgian Malinois Blaze, and a great story. Thankfully, my husband is a good sport about it.
Find me at gayleveitenheimer.com.
