Over time, every family can fall into a rut. We lose track of all of the things we said we would do with our kids. But it’s never too late to start! Chris and Jenni Graebe give practical advice and heart-felt stories about their own journey establishing rhythms with their five children. They examine how adventure, serving, speaking life, slowing down, and staying in awe will help you grow closer together and closer to God.
