Sunday Morning Service at Nazareth Community Church with Pastor Mike Shoaf
Interview by Ali WilliamsSCREAMFEEDER, the beloved Brisbane Indie Rock Trio, formed back in 1991, and in 2026 have proven to be one of this country's influential groups in the industry. They're best known for turning down major-label offers throughout the 90's as a way of maintaining their independence and ultimately having control over where and how their music was created and displayed. Their decision to do this inspired an entire generation of Australian alternative musicians by showing them that they had options and to seriously consider exercising them.Tim Steward has been doing this long enough to know when a band is repeating itself, when a room feels right, and when a stranger in her twenties accidentally delivers the funniest career review imaginable.Speaking with HEAVY's Ali Williams ahead of Screamfeeder's run of July shows, Steward was relaxed, generous and wonderfully unfazed by the fact that his band has now lived through more musical eras than most streaming services have patience for. Screamfeeder are not a band having a comeback, exactly. Comebacks are for acts that disappeared properly. Screamfeeder never really did. They just wandered through the strange machinery of time, vinyl reissues, loyal punters, new songs, old bruises, and the occasional “last ever show” that, naturally, turned out to be no such thing.“We've been around for a million years,” Steward laughed, which is not strictly true but emotionally accurate enough to pass in court.The band are currently working on new material, though Tim is the first to admit it is moving at the sort of pace that suggests creativity has its own union and refuses to be rushed on a Monday. After eight albums, the challenge is not whether Screamfeeder can still write songs. That part is handled. The problem is making sure they do not fall back into old habits simply because those habits know where the kettle is.Check out the full interview for more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

What if the breakthrough you're praying for begins with how you manage what you already have?In this episode, we're talking about stewardship—the often-overlooked foundation of abundance. From your time and talents to your relationships, resources, and routines, God has already placed something valuable in your hands.The question isn't whether you have enough.The question is: What are you doing with what you've already been given?Because abundance isn't just about receiving more.It's about faithfully managing what's already yours to steward.
When God sees you, what does He think? In this episode, Jeff and Tom discuss: Why being needs to be grounded in identity and doing needs to be grounded in your being. What having an abundant life means and how it may change. Building abundance from the Father's perspective, not the world's perspective. Coming to understand that the results belong to God. The spiritual battle we are in every day. Key Takeaways: What you are called to do right now may not be what you're called to do in a different season of life. Steward what God has given you and is calling you to do right now. There is no reason to separate our business decisions from our walks with Christ. The more you walk with Him, the closer you will be to Him, and the more abundant your life will be. When you understand how God sees you, you will be able to work from your worth, not for your worth. You don't have to be all one thing or another. You are not competing with others who are going for more-more-more. You can base who you are on your being and the gifts and desires God has given you. "What it means for an abundant life is as unique to each individual, as the individual is." — Tom McGehee Episode References: Halftime: https://halftimeinstitute.org/ Abide & Lead: https://abideandlead.com/ Left of Bang by Patrick Van Horne and Jason A.

On today's Bible study, Andrew Wommack explores the concept of financial prosperity and the crucial attitude of a steward, what it truly means to manage someone else's finances wisely and biblically.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the July 5, 2026, worship service and Pastor Rhonda Davis's message, organized with clear section headers, bulleted highlights, and a complete Scripture Index. Service Overview & Pre-Sermon Highlights Location: Church of the Harvest (TL Lowry Center) Special Occasion: Independence Day Weekend & America's 250th Anniversary Celebration I. Praise, Worship & Altar Ministry Opening Prayer: The service opened with a focus on celebrating both national freedom and the ultimate freedom found in Christ, inviting the Holy Spirit to fill the room. Miracle & Prayer Focus: Believers were invited to join their faith with the prayer teams at the altars to see God work miracles, declaring that every need must bow to the name of Jesus. Underground Church Reflection: Preachers reminded the congregation of the immense privilege of public worship, noting that members of underground churches globally meet in secret and worship with unprompted passion despite the threat of death. II. Sovereign Moves: Recent Testimonies Pastor Rhonda invited members to share their recent experiences from the unique altar ministry lines held the previous week: Tina Toles: Shared that despite initial fear and hesitation to step into the prayer line, she experienced an overwhelming, unprecedented power of the Holy Spirit that left her with a deep, lasting peace throughout her work week at Chick-fil-A. KK (Mrs. Smith): Expressed that after a period of being away from church and feeling like she was simply "floating" through life, stepping into the line brought an immediate sense of peace. Pastor Rhonda ministered to her, saying, "God said, I am yours," validating a real, physical encounter with the Holy Spirit. III. Harvest Announcements Wednesday Night Series: Summer in the Psalms continues this Wednesday at 7:00 PM at the TL Lowry Center, featuring Pastor Joe Robinson teaching from Psalm 139. Next Sunday Guest Speaker: Welcoming back Lori Wilke, an anointed speaker, singer, and author with a deep prophetic teaching edge. Community Outreach Impact: Pastor Rhonda thanked the church for its continued financial stewardship, highlighting recent works funded by tithes and offerings: reaching the homeless, jail/prison ministries, assisting single mothers, and completely covering the rent for a local family in dire straits. Special Presentation: 250th Celebrate Freedom Tribute Led by Army Veteran Michael Cook (who served 10 years stateside), the service paused to honor first responders and military veterans present in the congregation: Veteran / First Responder Branch / Conflict Bob Rumbaugh U.S. Army (Gulf War) & Naval Reserve (3 Years) Ralph Steven Beavers U.S. Army Zachary Wages U.S. Army Kit Carson Local Firefighter / First Responder Dale Perkins U.S. Air Force Michelle Hill U.S. Navy James Henry U.S. Army (Staff Sergeant) Liliana Henry U.S. Army (Private First Class) Presentation of the Colors: The United States flag was formally presented by Tina Toles, a retired Master Sergeant who served 21.5 years in the U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command, with deployments to Japan, Turkey, Germany, and Italy. Tribute Video: A special media presentation featuring interviews with church children and reflections on "American Grit," the founding fathers, and the constitutional right to pursue happiness was highlighted and credited to Austin and the media team. Sermon Outline: "Freedom Worth Celebrating" Preacher: Pastor Rhonda Davis I. Point 1: Land of the Free, Home of the Redeemed The Odds of Grace: Statistically, based on global birth rates, an individual has only a 2% to 3% chance of being born in the United States. A Beacon of Light: Over its 250-year history, America has outlasted its accusers, remaining a democracy through civil war, internal discourse, and external enemies. The nation historically leads the world in sending Christian missionaries to foreign sands and outspends the next three runner-up nations combined in global disaster relief. The Call to Stand: Reading from Galatians 5:1, the church is reminded that Christ sets us free for the purpose of living in actual freedom. Believers must actively choose never to be entangled again by a yoke of spiritual slavery. II. Point 2: Freedom Has a Price The Winter of 1777 (Valley Forge): To understand the value of freedom, Pastor Rhonda recalled General George Washington leading 12,000 under-resourced men into Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, after devastating defeats. 2,000 soldiers died from cold, starvation, and disease. Out of sheer desperation, men boiled their shoe leather for sustenance and left trails of blood in the snow from bare, frostbitten feet—yet they refused to surrender because they believed freedom outweighed personal comfort. The Cost of Spiritual Liberty (Calvary): Moving from Valley Forge to the hill of Calvary, Jesus Christ endured the ultimate price for human liberty. As prophesied in Isaiah 52:14, He was beaten beyond human recognition. Though He possessed the immediate power to call down 10000 angels (Matthew 26), He chose to stay on the cross because He determined our freedom was worth the price. III. Point 3: Two Freedoms, One Source Inherent Human Dignity: True liberty—both the civil freedom to vote and live without government interference, and spiritual freedom—stems from a singular source: God Himself. Because God is free by nature, and because humans are uniquely made in His image (Genesis 1:27), every individual possesses inherent, sacred dignity. The Living Room Jail Cell: Quoting Galatians 5:1 from The Message, Pastor Rhonda warned against trying to add legalism to grace. Living a restricted, legalistic life after being saved is equivalent to being liberated from a maximum-security prison only to build a voluntary jail cell right inside your own living room. IV. Point 4: Don't Go Back to Chains Guarding Against Apathy: History shows nations are rarely conquered by sudden external conquest; instead, they fall through internal apathy and gradually forgetting what it cost to obtain their liberty. Pastor Rhonda recalled a WallBuilders podcast interview by historian David Barton featuring a Washington State pastor who had to sue the government in 2020 because secular establishments were permitted to stay open while churches faced criminal misdemeanors for outdoor worship and singing. Identifying Modern Chains: The enemy constantly attempts to lure believers back into old bondages. These chains manifest as: Rehearsing past failures on a continuous mental playlist. Slipping back into toxic, generational family mindsets. Trapping oneself in people-pleasing loops and performance mentalities. Prophetic Deliverance: Pastor Rhonda shared a personal moment from her youth when minister Billy Burke gave her a word detailing a "ball and chain" around her ankle representing the conditional expectations of others. Breaking that chain requires standing firm—derived from the Greek word stekete, meaning to stubbornly hold your ground, defend your position, and completely refuse to be moved. V. Point 5: How to Steward and Stand Firm in Liberty Know What You Have: You cannot properly steward what you do not understand. Taking inventory of spiritual rights reveals that there is zero condemnation for those in Christ (Romans 8:1), sin is no longer your master (Romans 6:14), and the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside you (Romans 8:11). Pastor Rhonda referenced a 2022 table talk discussion with Lance Wallnau and Cindy Murdock, recalling Wallnau's story of Donald Trump in 2015 challenging silent ministers to defend their biblical rights, which later resulted in the executive repeal of the restrictive Johnson Amendment. Use Freedom for Something Greater: Freedom is never the final destination; it is simply the vehicle. According to Galatians 5:13, liberty must never be used to satisfy selfish, sinful natures, but rather to serve one another in love. The sacrifices of past generations are dignified when we use our voices to speak truth with grace and act as the hands and feet of Jesus to help the homeless, the prisoner, and the vulnerable. Let the Holy Spirit Lead: Believers must maintain an open mind to how God wants to uniquely deploy their skills, influence, and talents across different seasons of life. It does not require unusual human ability to shift the world—only a caring heart, a determined mind, and a willing spirit. VI. Conclusion: Intercession for the Land The Command to Pray: Aligning with 1 Timothy 2:1-2, the church corporate is called to make supplications, prayers, and intercessions for all people, explicitly including kings and all secular authorities, so that believers may lead quiet, peaceful, and godly lives. A Promise of Healing: God is not finished with America. Relying on Lamentations 3:23 (His mercies are new every morning) and the covenant promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14, the church closed by corporate prayer, repenting of negative mindsets, asking for systemic healing from the White House to the communities, and calling a wayward generation back into their divine identity.

This message focus on what it means to truly be stewards of what God has place into our hands.
Description: Most of us were handed a set of rules about sex before we were ever given a framework for thinking about it — and for many people, especially those raised in religious communities, those rules came wrapped in shame, fear, and silence. The damage is real, well-documented, and affects far more people than the church tends to admit. In this sermon, Bekki reexamines a familiar Bible story through a different lens — and makes the case that fear-based approaches to sexuality don't produce health or wholeness, they produce hiding. Drawing on personal experience, trauma research, and a close reading of the gospel, she offers a vision of sexuality rooted in love, liberation, and abundance rather than control and condemnation. Whether you're deconstructing, done with church, or just curious — this one's worth your time.

People love the idea of a big calling until they feel the weight of it. King Solomon stepped into the largest stewardship of his life as a young man and felt completely unqualified for the throne. What he did next unlocked unmatched wisdom, wealth, and favor. Kap Chatfield breaks down the four biblical keys hidden in 1 Kings 3 that every believer needs to steward their next divine assignment without burning out.

Last winter you probably heard about the lack of snow in the western US, and how that might impact everything from ski resorts to farmlands and freshwater supplies. News coverage of this drought most-often invokes impacts on the Colorado River. But there's another system—the Rio Grande—that's facing just as much pressure. Stretching from Colorado to the Gulf of Mexico, the Rio Grande – or the Rio Bravo as it's known in Mexico – supports millions of people, vast acres of farmland, and diverse ecosystems that support an array of wildlife. But the river has lost roughly 85% of its historic flows due to overuse and a years-long megadrought. And this summer could bring the worst conditions yet thanks to the lack of snowpack in the mountains that feed the river. In this episode of Nature Breaking, we explore why the Rio Grande is running dry—and what that means for communities, wildlife, and the future of water in the region. Host Seth Larson is joined by Enrique Prunes, WWF's Rio Grande Manager and Freshwater Lead Specialist, to break down the crisis and explain what needs to change to secure a brighter future for the river.

The perk trap is costing organizations thousands while leaving teams burned out. Yolanda Fraction, author of the book Joyful Workplaces, joins us to share how leaders can move past surface-level culture and design systems that deliver both joy and results. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why multi-billion dollar corporate perks like unlimited PTO and cold brew fail to fix the root causes of team burnout The critical operational shift from viewing talent development as a cost center to treating it as a core business driver What it means to lead as a steward of people rather than a controller, and how that impacts daily management decisions How to utilize tactical self-leadership tools like the Johari Window and 360-degree feedback to expose your own leadership blind spots Why corporate culture is never a kickoff project and how to accurately diagnose your workplace using the culture iceberg Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:33) The Reality of the Perk Trap (03:15) Designing Systems for Joy and Performance (05:48) Shifting From Controller to Steward of People (08:53) The True Human Cost of Broken Systems (13:51) Using Self Leadership to Drive Team Clarity (19:01) Uncovering Blind Spots and Reflective Leadership (21:20) Diagnosing Culture Beyond the Surface (25:31) A Brand That Makes Yolanda Smile (27:38) Where to Connect with Yolanda Fraction About Yolanda Fraction Yolanda Fraction, M.Ed., is an organizational development consultant, leadership advisor, and corporate trainer with more than two decades of experience helping executives build healthier, high performing workplaces. Currently pursuing her PhD in industrial organizational psychology, Yolanda holds a graduate degree in adult and organizational learning, bringing a deeply practical and human centered approach to talent management across corporate, nonprofit, academic, and government sectors. She is the author of Joyful Workplaces: How People and Systems Create Energy, Resilience, and Results, and she hosts the Teamwork Sandbox podcast, where she explores the direct ways leaders influence and shape modern organizational culture. What Brand Has Made Yolanda Smile Recently? Yolanda shared a powerful story about Marriott that perfectly illustrated care beyond measure. While managing a hectic work travel schedule and undergoing IVF treatments, she arrived well before check-in at a Marriott property needing a safe place to store her temperature-sensitive medications. Instead of sticking strictly to standard front desk policy, an empathetic employee stepped up, securely stored the medication in a staff refrigerator, and personally ensured it safely reached her room later. For Yolanda, this moment of going above and beyond proved that a culture of genuine care is truly embedded within the Marriott brand. Resources & Links Connect with Yolanda on LinkedIn.

This week on the Bourbon Bytes Podcast, we're breaking down a packed lineup of whiskey and gaming news before diving into a Byte-Sized Review of the new Maker's Mark Steward's Release. Old Forester announced its 2026 President's Choice Bourbon and Rye, Barrell Craft Spirits revealed a limited Toasted Seagrass release, and Penelope is flipping its usual playbook with a new Classic Series bourbon and rye. On the gaming side, Nintendo Direct brought major Switch 2 news, including a new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer and a surprise Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake announcement. We also touch on Xbox's 25th Anniversary console, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and PlayStation's latest State of Play. Then it's time for the main event: Maker's Mark Steward's Release, the 2026 entry in the Wood Finishing Series. This release brings notes of maple syrup, vanilla, waffle cone, toasted pie crust, honeycomb, peach cobbler, and salted caramel — but does it live up to the best Maker's Mark limited releases?

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12 Psalm 90 reminds us that time is a gift from God. Every day we receive is an opportunity to live wisely, love intentionally, and steward the moments entrusted to us. For families with children or grandchildren, summer can be a unique opportunity to do just that. The school year brings its own rhythm and routine, but summer often loosens those structures. That can be a wonderful gift—but it can also bring unexpected challenges. Brian Holtz, CEO of Compass Financial Ministry, knows this firsthand. Brian and his wife, Erica, have four children in school, ranging in age from 8 to 16. Like many families, they welcome the blessing of more time together during the summer months. But they also know that when routines disappear, the days can easily slip away. As Brian puts it, the season that is supposed to feel restful can sometimes become even busier than the school year. That is why his family tries to approach summer with intentionality. Their simple framework is built around three important buckets: work, play, and rest. Work Builds Character Work may not sound like the first thing kids want to think about during summer break, but it is an important part of God's design. Work existed before the fall, and when kept in proper balance, it helps us grow in responsibility, service, and faithfulness. For children, summer provides extra time at home—and often, extra messes around the house. That creates a natural opportunity to teach responsibility through simple household duties. Brian's family calls these “daily duties.” Each child has an age-appropriate task to complete each day. It may be loading or unloading the dishwasher, sweeping the floor, taking out the trash, or helping with another household responsibility. Most of the time, the children can choose when they complete the task, but the expectation is clear: it needs to get done. These small responsibilities may not take much time, but they can help build accountability and a work ethic. They also remind children that being part of a family means contributing to the household's well-being. Each family can decide whether certain chores should be paid or simply expected as part of living together. Either way, the goal is not merely to complete tasks. The deeper goal is to help children understand that work is a meaningful part of life and stewardship. Play Creates Memories Summer is not only a time for work. It is also a time to enjoy the gift of family. Fun matters—not just for children, but for parents and grandparents as well. Many families spend the fall, winter, and spring looking forward to summer, hoping for more time together. But meaningful memories rarely happen by accident. They usually require some planning. Brian's family has a tradition they call the “summer of fun.” They choose a handful of activities they would not normally do during the school year and randomly select one every few weeks. To make it even more exciting, they use a Price Is Right-style spinning wheel to choose the activity. The activities do not have to be expensive. They may include going out for ice cream, visiting a favorite restaurant, having a picnic, or doing something outdoors together. Sometimes, they may include a bigger adventure. One year, Brian's oldest child spun the “big ticket” item—a weekend trip tubing down the Chattahoochee River. The point is not extravagance. The point is intentionality. Simple moments of joy can become lasting memories. And in Brian's family, participation in the “summer of fun” is connected to completing daily duties. That gives the children an added incentive while reinforcing the connection between responsibility and enjoyment. Rest Must Be Prioritized The final bucket is rest. Most parents know that what is fun for kids is not always restful for adults. And what feels restful to adults may not sound fun to kids. But both play and rest are important. God created us with limits. He designed us to work, but not endlessly. He calls us to enjoy His good gifts, but also to slow down and receive rest as a gift from Him. In the busyness of summer activities, camps, trips, and family plans, rest can easily be overlooked. That is why families need to make room for quiet, unhurried time. Sometimes that may mean protecting an evening at home. Sometimes it may mean a slower morning, a Sabbath rhythm, or a break from screens and schedules. Rest reminds us that our worth is not measured by productivity. It teaches children—and reminds adults—that we are dependent creatures who need God's provision, not just our own effort. Stewarding the Summer Well Summer is a gift to stewards. It gives families a unique opportunity to shape character, build memories, and practice rhythms that reflect God's design. Work teaches responsibility. Play creates joy and connection. Rest reminds us to trust the Lord with our time. As Psalm 90:12 reminds us, wisdom begins when we recognize that our days are numbered. We cannot control how quickly the summer passes, but we can choose to receive it as a gift and steward it with purpose. So this summer, consider how your family might make room for work, play, and rest. Not as a rigid formula, but as a faithful way to number your days and seek a heart of wisdom. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I own a rental house and am starting my second eviction for non-payment. I'm considering selling, though the house is next door to my daughter, and she'd prefer I keep it. I owe about $50,000; it may be worth around $169,000, and it rents for $1,300 a month. Given the market and my family situation, should I sell now or keep it? I have a property owned by a nonprofit that has shut down. I'd like to sell the property and donate the proceeds to a 501(c)(3) church. What steps or forms are required, and is that handled at closing, or are there special rules for selling nonprofit property? I've never invested before, and I don't plan to retire in the traditional sense. How should I think about saving, spending, getting out of debt, and investing? I'd also like to invest in line with my values, but I only have a landline and regular mail—no internet. How can I pursue faith-based investing with those limitations? I'm 60 years old. If I claim Social Security at 62, will my benefit increase at ages 65 or 70, or will I be locked into the lower amount from claiming early?

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.

In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden continue their Genesis series with a conversation that feels especially relevant in today's world: what does it actually mean to "steward the earth" as a Christian family? Starting in Genesis 1:28, Rachael and Melissa unpack the idea of dominion—not as domination or destruction, but as thoughtful care, cultivation, and responsibility. Using the simple but powerful analogy of gardening, Rachael paints a picture of stewardship as tending, nurturing, and bringing order to what God has created. It's a perspective shift that invites both moms and daughters to see the environment not as a burden to fix, but as a gift to faithfully manage. As cultural conversations around climate and environmental responsibility grow louder, this episode offers a grounded, Biblical response. Melissa introduces the concept of climate activism and acknowledges the good intentions behind it, while also pointing listeners back to a greater truth: this earth is a temporary home, and our ultimate hope is anchored in God's promise of a new heaven and a new earth. That hope doesn't lead to neglect—it leads to peace-filled, purposeful action. Through the Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay reminds us that God works through ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary plan. And that includes how we care for His creation. When we teach our girls to observe the world around them—really see it—we begin cultivating hearts that appreciate, respect, and responsibly steward what God has made. This episode is filled with practical, doable ways to live this out as a family—from picking up trash at a local park to planting a garden to simply slowing down and noticing God's handiwork. Because when girls learn to love creation, they naturally begin to care for it. Most importantly, this conversation helps parents anchor environmental stewardship in truth—not fear. We are not responsible for saving the world. We are called to faithfully care for what God has entrusted to us, trusting Him with the outcome. Three Things to Remember: Focus on what you can do—small, hands-on actions help combat overwhelm and build joyful responsibility. Stewardship is about cultivating and caring for God's creation, not controlling it. Anchor your perspective in eternity—the God who created the world is the One who will restore it.

Summertime is here. And while kids may be counting down the days until school is out, parents and grandparents may be counting something else—the cost. Keeping kids entertained during the summer does not have to break the bank. In fact, some of the best memories do not come from expensive outings. They come from creativity, time together, and a little planning. It is tempting to spend our way into a good time. A movie with popcorn and drinks can easily become a costly outing for a family. A trip to a major league ballpark can cost even more. But meaningful family fun does not have to come with a high price tag. Here are ten fun, meaningful, and free things your family can do this summer. 1. Visit the Library Today's libraries are more than shelves of books. Many host summer reading challenges, puppet shows, craft days, Lego clubs, and other free activities for kids. A trip to the library builds lifelong learning habits, encourages imagination, and gives children a healthy break from screen time. It is a simple summer win for the whole family. 2. Have a Themed Movie Marathon Movie nights are always fun, but you can make them even more memorable with a theme. Dress up like your favorite characters, make homemade popcorn, and watch movies you already own or can stream for free through your library. It is a cozy, low-cost way to enjoy time together without leaving home. 3. Check Your Community Calendar Many towns and cities host free summer concerts, outdoor movie nights, festivals, parades, and family events. These gatherings are not only enjoyable; they also help families connect with their neighbors and experience the gift of community. Scripture often reminds us that we were not made to live in isolation, and summer can be a wonderful time to build those local connections. 4. Plan a Backyard Campout You do not need a mountain getaway to go camping. Pitch a tent in the backyard, roast marshmallows, tell stories, and spend time under the stars. You can also take a few moments to marvel at the night sky together. Psalm 8:3–4 says, “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars… what is man that you are mindful of him?” A backyard campout can become a simple opportunity to worship the God who made the heavens and cares for us. 5. Host a Yard Sale A yard sale can be more than a way to clean out the garage. Let your kids gather items, price them, and help run their own mini shop. This can teach stewardship, contentment, and generosity—especially if they choose to give a portion of the proceeds to someone in need. 6. Try Geocaching If your family enjoys a good treasure hunt, geocaching can be a fun adventure. All you need is a smartphone and a free app to begin searching for small caches hidden throughout your community. It is a great way to explore new places, get outside, and bond as a family—without spending money. 7. Organize a Neighborhood Game Day Sometimes the simplest games are the most fun. Kickball, capture the flag, relay races, or a water balloon battle can bring kids and families together for hours. Reach out to other parents in your neighborhood and organize a recurring game day. You can rotate houses, share the fun, and build community at no cost. 8. Create a Summer Bucket List Get the kids involved and make a list of free or simple things they want to do this summer. It could include building a fort, catching fireflies, learning a new skill, having a picnic, or watching a sunset. Then check the items off one by one. A summer bucket list builds anticipation, keeps the season organized, and helps your family make memories with intention. 9. Explore Local Parks and Trails Nature is one of God's most accessible gifts. A walk through the woods, a bike ride, or a visit to a local preserve can stir the soul and open our eyes to the beauty of creation. Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” And so does every bird's song, wildflower, trail, and sunset. Summer is a wonderful time to help children slow down and notice the world God has made. 10. Serve Together as a Family One of the most meaningful things you can do this summer is serve others together. You could volunteer at a food pantry, visit a nursing home, bake treats for neighbors, write encouraging cards, or help someone with yard work. Acts of service teach children the joy of giving and remind them that life is not just about being entertained. Jesus said in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Serving together helps children experience that truth firsthand. Steward the Summer Well It is easy to assume that fun comes with a price tag. But often, the most meaningful moments cost nothing at all. Laughter, love, sunshine, conversation, service, and time together are gifts from God. As you plan your summer, do not focus solely on how much you can spend. Focus on how you can wisely steward the time God has given you with the people you love. And take it from a dad who knows how quickly the years pass: this season goes by faster than you think. Summer is a wonderful opportunity to invest relationally, be present, and build memories that do not require debt. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 64, about to turn 65, and have severe health issues from pesticide and mold poisoning. I work multiple part-time jobs to cover care that traditional insurance hasn't covered, including a specialized doctor and compounded medications. People say I need Medicare and possibly a supplement to avoid penalties, but I'm not sure either would help. What should I do? I'm 62 and still working. At what age can I start drawing Social Security while continuing to earn my current income without reducing my benefit? And if I wait until 70, will that be when I receive the maximum benefit? I want to keep my estate out of probate. My bank accounts are payable on death to my two children, but I also have a house and 20 acres. How can I keep that property out of probate as well? Also, has the annual gift exclusion changed this year? I own a three-unit rental property. Would there be a benefit to placing it in an LLC, and what are the main advantages?
