Summer Expectations and Realities

OUR FIRST OFFICIAL DAY OF SUMMER HERE ON THE POD. Today we're answering the question, “What is summer and how do I define it in my life?” and Pastor Mike Kelsey is back to help us kick off this new season. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since we recorded.

We talk about the fun of this season, but we’re also talking about the ways summer can be really hard, the expectations we put on it, and insecurities it can bring up.

If you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 74 of our summer pages. You can purchase yours at anniefdowns.com/seasons.
