Get your free 2026 tracker sheet ⁠here⁠ The 1000 Hours Outside App is on sale for $24.99 on ⁠iOs⁠ and ⁠Android⁠ ** Max Lucado is back with Ginny Yurich, and this one is a steadying exhale for parents and kids living under constant pressure. It’s launch day for his new kids devotional Calm Thoughts for Kids and instead of vague “just calm down” advice, Max gets really practical: what to do with the nonstop “what if” thoughts, why gratitude is such a fast anxiety-interrupter, and how kids are carrying way more pressure than most grownups realize. He shares pieces of his own story (including the shame spiral he had to climb out of), plus these simple outdoor pictures that stick like storms, tents, rivers, and stepping-stones that make faith feel steady and doable, not abstract. You’ll walk away with real words to say to an anxious kid, and a few new ways to steady your own mind too.
