In this episode, Perry and Pastor Dave discuss how Christians can intentionally use summer for the glory of God. Summer often brings vacations, sports, camping trips, family gatherings, and changing schedules. While these activities can be wonderful gifts from God, they can also become seasons of spiritual drift if believers aren't intentional. This conversation explores hospitality, evangelism, family discipleship, church involvement, recreation, and making the most of the unique opportunities summer provides. Rather than merely surviving summer, Christians can use it as a powerful season for gospel ministry.
