Enjoy a Season of Renewal

In many parts of the world, August brings a change of season: students are returning to school, which means new teachers, new acquaintances, and new surroundings for them. And of course, new schedules — for everyone in the family!

Planning your family’s days around this “new normal” offers a unique opportunity to really think through the things you value most as a family. Devoting just a few minutes each day to connecting around God’s Word together is one of the best ways we know to draw your family closer. We’ve carefully selected the following devotionals for parents, for youth, and even for your little ones. (And, if you see a plan you like here, be sure you share it with friends!)
