Ep 141: Passing Faith Forward - Love Letters, Legacy, and the Healing Power of Family Communication
Manage episode 510326617 series 3434362
"Whether you’re a grandparent, a parent still learning to speak your heart, or a mentor to kids who see you as family, this conversation gives you tools to capture meaning in ink and pass it forward with grace."
We share how simple “love letters” can carry faith, values and identity across generations, and why churches can turn this practice into a culture of healing communication. Pastor Mike Morgan, of Shiloh Baptist Church, and Louise Cole, of Family Legacy Connect, show practical ways to write, store and share letters that become mirrors and anchors for family.
• love letters as a tangible family legacy
• grandparents, parents and mentors as mirrors of identity
• communication as healing, forgiveness and relief
• stories as carriers of values and faith
• church vision to “empower family” quarterly
• practical rhythms for writing, saving and gifting letters
• integrating Scripture and testimony without performance
• honoring ancestors and documenting prayer-filled history
