“A Chaplain’s mission to honor legacy and inspire hope
by connecting generations through the wisdom of Christ.“

Welcome Friend.
We’re glad you are here!

A prayerfully curated collection of books and trusted links offering wisdom, faith, and practical guidance for meaningful aging and intergenerational connection.

These resources are offered as gentle starting points. Much wisdom is learned by listening to elders, attending to our own inner life, and noticing God’s faithfulness across generations. All wisdom flows from God, who is our guide and companion in every season.
