About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of character formation in children during the summer, emphasizing that discipleship continues year-round.
Summer is an amazing time of rest and refreshing. Because screen time is a central part of so many students’ lives, this detail often feels most important. But beyond screen time, we want to encourage parents to take a different approach and ask the question: “What kind of character will be formed in my child this summer?” Discipleship is teaching and reinforcing Christ-like Character in every aspect of life – and that doesn’t get a summer vacation.
