    Playing with Purpose

    How can something as simple as play help your child grow in their faith, and how can you make play a natural part of your family's everyday rhythms? In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy and Sara sit down with Brittany Compton to talk about the powerful purpose behind play. While play often comes naturally to kids, Brittany reminds parents that it is far more than just fun – it's how kids learn, grow, process emotions, build resilience, and connect with the world God made. Together, they discuss how simple, everyday moments of play can strengthen the parent-child bond, create space for meaningful faith conversations, and remind kids that they are loved, valued, and delighted in. From bath time and dinner games to backyard adventures and board games, this conversation is full of practical encouragement for parents who want to be more present and intentional. Whether play comes easily to you or feels like something you have to work at, this episode will encourage you to start small, have fun, and never underestimate what God can do through a few intentional moments with your kids.

    Why Families Should Volunteer Together–and How to Start

    In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy Lowe and Marissa Ray sit down with Matt Lowe, chaplain and volunteer coordinator at the Real Life Center and father of two, to talk about why serving others is one of the most impactful habits families can build together.  Matt shares how volunteering not only helps those who are benefiting from your service, but also increases gratitude, joy, and purpose in the lives of those who give their time. From packing "care bags" with preschoolers to empowering teenagers to take ownership of meaningful work, he offers practical ideas for involving kids of every age in serving others. Our conversation also explores how volunteering creates opportunities for connection, leadership, and memorable moments as a family. Whether your family starts with a one-time project or finds a regular place to serve, this episode will encourage you to discover how serving together can shape your family's values and deepen your relationships. -- Question of the Week: If your family could make someone's day better this week, what could you do? -- Hosts: Amy Lowe & Marissa Ray Guests: Matt Lowe Producers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun -- Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!
