033 God, Grandpas, and the Gift of Time — with Jen Blosil

In this warm, laughter-filled episode, Rivers (Steve Harris) sits down with Jen Blosil — musician, thinker, and self-proclaimed “lover of people” — to explore what makes relationships between grandparents and grandkids truly meaningful. Jen shares stories about her three very different grandfathers: a quiet priest, a gruff smoker with a soft spot, and a good man who didn’t always show it. Through humor and honesty, she reveals the truth that love is often spelled T-I-M-E. Together, Steve and Jen dive into: 🌿 The sacred power of presence and why showing up awkwardly is still showing up. 💛 How faith and family legacy shape who we become — even generations later. 🎶 What American Idol taught Jen about kindness, connection, and resilience. 🙏 How a simple prayer (“Who needs me here?”) can transform any conversation. 💬 The best questions a grandpa can ask — and how to follow up with heart. 💡 Practical ways grandpas can reconnect and make up for lost time (and why “take her to lunch” might be the best advice you’ll hear today). This conversation is funny, faith-filled, and surprisingly moving — a reminder that no matter your age, it’s never too late to connect, ask better questions, and love bigger.
