In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy Lowe and Marissa Ray sit down with Matt Lowe, chaplain and volunteer coordinator at the Real Life Center and father of two, to talk about why serving others is one of the most impactful habits families can build together.

Matt shares how volunteering not only helps those who are benefiting from your service, but also increases gratitude, joy, and purpose in the lives of those who give their time. From packing "care bags" with preschoolers to empowering teenagers to take ownership of meaningful work, he offers practical ideas for involving kids of every age in serving others. Our conversation also explores how volunteering creates opportunities for connection, leadership, and memorable moments as a family.

Whether your family starts with a one-time project or finds a regular place to serve, this episode will encourage you to discover how serving together can shape your family's values and deepen your relationships.

What does it actually look like to disciple your kids in their faith – from the early years all the way through launching them into adulthood?

In this episode, Amy and Sara sit down with Jeff and Courtney Osborn, parents of two grown daughters who love the Lord, care deeply for others, and still have a strong relationship with their family. Jeff and Courtney share honest reflections from their parenting journey – the things they did well, the things they’d do differently, and how they learned to trust God with their kids every step of the way.

You’ll hear practical wisdom and encouragement on:

• Letting go of the “perfect parenting formula”
• Balancing grace with expectations
• Praying intentionally for your kids
• Navigating the shift from authority to influence in the teen years
• Creating meaningful moments and traditions that shape faith over time

Whether you’re parenting toddlers or teens, this conversation will remind you of a freeing truth: you don’t have to get everything right—God is at work in your kids’ lives.

Part of the WinShape Camps Drive-In Track series–audio experiences created for Campers and families on their way to camp.

The drive to Overnight Camp is filled with excitement, anticipation, and maybe even a few butterflies—for both Campers and parents. Whether this is your Camper’s very first week away or a summer tradition they’ve been counting down to, this Drive-In Track is designed to help your family start the journey with encouragement, laughter, and truth.

You’ll join Ranger Stu, Amy, and Speedy on the way to camp as they welcome your Camper, build excitement for the adventure ahead, and remind them that God has something special in store this week.

Together, you'll get a glimpse into this summer’s theme – Ascend – and be encouraged to lift your eyes, trust God with what lies ahead, and step confidently into all He has prepared.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” – Psalm 121:1-2
