Guest Speaker Event: “The Disciple-Making Grandparent” with David Upchurch

The School of Christian Thought proudly presents the new IRL Speaker Series. IRL means “in real life”—and these conversations are designed to be casual, relatable, and focused on how we live out our faith in everyday situations. Expect practical application, honest encouragement, and biblical wisdom you can use.

What do today’s grandkids really need? In a world full of noise and distractions, they need something deeper—a steady, faithful presence. They need someone who will speak truth, share stories of God’s faithfulness, and model a life of intentional discipleship.

Join us for a powerful evening with David Upchurch, author and Church Relations Officer at Ozark Christian College, as he encourages and equips grandparents to embrace their high calling as disciple-makers in the lives of their grandchildren.

David will share practical and inspiring insights on:

• Making room in your life for your grandkids

• Connecting with them in meaningful ways

• Giving what matters most

• And speaking truth that will last a lifetime

Whether you’re already active in your grandkids’ lives or looking for a place to start, this evening is for you.
