Interview with Jay Payleitner — A Grand Way to Live

Rocking it Grand with Chrys & Shellie

This week, Chrys and Shellie welcome bestselling author Jay Payleitner, who has written more than 40 books, including his newest release, A Grand Way to Live. Jay brings wisdom, humor, and encouragement for grandparents who want to make the most of their role without carrying the pressure of perfection.

Together, we explore questions every grandparent wrestles with: What if I didn’t do everything right as a parent? What really matters most for my grandkids? How do I leave a legacy when life feels uncertain?

Jay also introduces us to the idea of “prayable moments”—those everyday opportunities to add God to the conversation.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• What if you didn’t “do it all right” as a parent?

• The single most important thing grandparents can do for their families

• How to recognize and embrace “prayable moments”

• Practical encouragement from Jay’s new book, A Grand Way to Live

Whether you’re a brand-new grandparent or years into the journey, this episode will remind you that influence isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, purpose, and a little bit of grace.
