    Summer Discipleship Tips for Busy Families With Bobby and Meg

    After surviving the whirlwind known as Maycember—the month packed with award ceremonies, recitals, tournaments, graduations, field days, banquets, and enough calendar notifications to make your head spin—summer has finally arrived. The pace is slowing, the schedules are opening up, and families have a unique opportunity to be intentional with the time ahead. In this episode of the Empowered Homes Podcast, Bobby and Meghan talk about how to move from the chaos of May into a summer filled with purpose, connection, and spiritual growth. Instead of simply filling the calendar with activities, what if your family used this season to grow deeper in faith together? They introduce Camping Out in Colossians, a six-week family discipleship journey designed to help families gather around God's Word through simple daily readings, meaningful conversations, prayer, journaling, and fun hands-on activities. Together, you'll discover what it means to put Jesus first, grow deep roots in Christ, develop Christlike character, serve others, and build faith habits that last long after summer ends. Whether you're traveling, staying home, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you take advantage of one of the best opportunities of the year to strengthen your family's faith and relationships.
