We share our three summer family discipleship goals and a simple process you can use to discover yours. Don’t miss the summer opportunity like most parents do. You likely will have more quantity and quality time with your children during the summer and while having fun and creating experiences are essential don’t miss your opportunity to help your family grow stronger spiritually. It’s only when we see an opportunity will we try and seize it. Our hope is that your family looks different at the end of the summer and we aren’t talking about physically, but spiritually. One of the things we are bringing back is the gratitude board which is a powerful faith building activity to do with your family that boosts faith in Jesus. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so you don’t miss the new episodes that come out every Tuesday.

The inside scoop on our first generation large family of nine children. We are currently in every season at once with littles, middles, teenagers, young adults, and launched children raising families. So, yes grandparents too! Navigating finances, vehicles, food prep and the hefty bills, almost dying in pregnancy and having more, to family dynamics that most don’t realize are possible. We hope this gives a raw reality that encourages others. God has a unique design for every family and while we don’t expect everyone to look like ours, having a large family has surpassed our greatest expectations. If you want to be a fly on the wall inside the Tolpin home, this is the episode!
