In an in-person conversation recorded around Grandparents’ Day, Pastor Scott Snow returns to reflect on the transition into retirement after decades of ministry, noting it still feels like vacation because he continues to preach, officiate weddings, and assist with funerals, while also enjoying new freedom to travel, visit family, and camp in his travel trailer. The discussion turns to “passing on the faith,” emphasizing prayer before and after children are born, praying with them, and creating an everyday atmosphere where the Holy Spirit works through lived example—consistent worship, family devotions, and faith-shaped routines. We address discouragement when children drift from faith, encouraging continued prayer and hope in God’s promises and baptism. Pastor Snow shares practical ways churches can equip parents, including adult-involved confirmation, modeling prayer, and providing devotional resources, while stressing intentional priorities amid competing activities.
