If you have any questions or thoughts that you’d like to share, reach out at RenchMedia@gmail.com Check out Annie’s new website! annierench.com Find Annie on Instagram @AnnieMRench Many families treat summer as something to endure, missing the opportunity to make it the most formative season of the year. The chaos of kids at home, disrupted routines, and constant mess can tempt parents to just “get through it,” but this mindset overlooks the unique chance summer offers for discipleship, connection, and growth. Scripture calls parents to intentionality, not survival mode, and the habits formed in these months shape children for years to come. By making one deliberate change—whether in family structure, daily routines, or parental priorities—families can transform summer from a season of stress into a time of joy, health, and togetherness. This episode addresses the real challenges of summer parenting, offers practical strategies for family routines, fitness, and nutrition, and encourages Christian families to embrace summer as a God-given opportunity for building lasting memories and spiritual foundations.
