Flourishing. Christian. Grandparenting.

Hi, I’m Lori!

Just like you, I love all the people in my life. 

I’m married, a mom of two grown-up and married kids, and a grandmother to 8 little people. I’m a pastor’s wife, the co-founder of New Song Church in Oceanside, California, long-time children’s pastor, a member of the Board of Directors for the Legacy Coalition, and executive editor of a website for pastors and church leaders. I love to start things that help people. 

The day I became a grandmother, the earth shifted. Did you feel it when you became a grandparent, too? 

I wanted to help our kids thrive as parents (maybe at first just to survive). I wanted that little boy I was holding to grow up to be an amazing man who makes a difference in his generation. I wanted to see him love and follow Jesus with his whole heart.

The Inner Journey

Because of this love I have for my kids and grandkids, I have spent more mornings than I could possibly count on my knees for them.

In my daily time with Jesus, I do secret, inner work that overflows into transformation in my family. Our family has had our fair share of challenges, and I want to respect my kids’ privacy here, but if you want to see inside my time with Jesus, the prayers I pray for my family, and the transformation we’ve experienced, I invite you to receive my weekly emails: Grams Glasses. 

The Challenges we Face

Like us, I’m sure you have had your fair share of challenges in your family.

Your relationships with your kids may be strained. Maybe you don’t see the grandchildren as much as you’d like. Differences in morals, faith, and politics might be threatening to divide your family. Or maybe family trials and tragedies have taken their toll.

Even though you face obstacles to your connectedness and to helping your grandchildren know Jesus, your God-given calling to pour into our grandkids’ lives brings power and purpose to this season of life!

Your Calling

I want to help you fulfill your mission to build a spiritual legacy of faith in your family and the generations that follow. I’ll help you learn principles, build skills, and find resources that will equip you to be a better spiritual leader in your family.

We all want our family relationships to be close. We want to feel connected as we enjoy and help our kids and grandkids. I will help you see your blind spots, get relational wisdom, and learn principles for strong three-generation families.

And while you’re at it, I want you to flourish. 

I think the last two or three decades of our lives can be the best. We want to walk with Jesus, feel free to be who we are in Christ, and love and support the people around us.  

I hope you’ll join our community, take advantage of our resources, and see fruit in the lives of your kids and grandkids. 

We can be Christian grandparents who love, influence, and flourish.
