Christian Parenting.

Summer is here, and that means it's time to stock up on your summer reads.

This year, Christian Parenting put together its very first summer reading picks list,

and it's packed with great books for the whole family.

For the kids,

you'll find illustrated storybooks for little ones, fun biographies of prominent men and women

of faith, a mystery series, perfect for elementary and middle schoolers, Bibles with scripture

merry cards and games, devotionals that will help kids learn how to spend time with God,

and even a dyslexia-friendly Bible. How great is that?

And parents, we didn't forget about you. There's a curated selection of devotionals and books

covering faith, culture, and spiritual growth. We've included summer reading bingo cards. I love

that to make a whole family experience because the family that reads together grows together.

Head on over to Christianparenting.org slash summer to check out the full list and make

this the summer your whole family grows together in faith.

And I just wanted today for you to have bigger, like, context to like why I'm leaving, because I think people can just announce these things and be like, hey, wait,

like, I feel like we're friends. If you've been listening for a while, you're like, wait, we're actually friends. Like we do life together on Mondays. I'm in your car and we're praying together and on Thursdays. It's like we're sitting down and having coffee. And so I know some of you is going to be a little bit of an adjustment, but I just appreciate y'all so much. So many of you have reached out to me and encouraged me over the years and really kept me going because when you're a podcaster, you're typically just literally staring at the wall. I do have some of your photos in front of me that I'm staring at that kind of keep me motivated and remembering that there are thousands, if not millions of families out there listening.

Well, that's a total lie.

Thousands of you listen every week, but millions of downloads over the last three years.

But I just really appreciate you individually reaching out and just saying how it's impacted you.

So I really know that God has been working through this podcast the last several years, and I got the
