Hey friend, I'm Julie Lyles Carr. I'm the host of God on the Go, part of the Purposely Podcast Network and I'm getting ready to go on summer break to one of my very favorite places, and I hope that's what you're getting to do this summer as well. I was thinking about this verse from Psalm 74 verse 17. It was you, God, who set all the boundaries of the earth you made both summer and winter. And in summer, I don't know about you, but that always seems like a great time to be on the road, to travel, to soak up all those long summer days. I hope you are really enjoying it because we know that all too soon, all of the routines going to be back in place, right? School's going to start and all of the rehearsals and practices and all the things that we've got to get kids to and that our kids are involved in, it's all going to start again.So, I hope these days of summer for you are lazy and long and you have some time to reflect as a family, to chat, to talk. I want to encourage you, if you are doing a great American summer road trip, you can go back and listen to episodes of God on the Go, and you can find those trivia questions. You can find those places that are going to lead you to great conversation about faith and different things we need to consider as our kids are growing up and our own walks. So, go back and check out some of the episodes of God on the Go. We are going to be relaunching a whole new season as we get close to the start of school. So, be listening for that.And if you are already signed up on our text stream, great. I have a favor to ask you. Our show producer Rebecca, is going to be sending out a survey. We want to know what further topics that you want to know about. What are the conversations that you want to be able to have? How can we help you make the minutes matter even more? Those times that you're in the car waiting in the school, drop off line, taking somebody to practice, how can we come alongside and help and support you in that way? So be sure and look for that survey. If you're already on our texts. Now, if you don't want to do the text thing, no worries. You can go to the show notes and it would mean so much if you would take a look at the survey there and send us your answers. Send us any kind of feedback that you have for us, because again, that's why we're here. We want to come alongside and help you. So, be sure and check that out. Look for that survey.I hope you have an awesome summer break and I'll see you really soon back with new episodes. A whole new season of God on the Go. We want to also thank our sponsor.
