Strengthen Your Family this Christmas Season

OAC-Gift-That-Lasts-All-Year-Facebook-Cover

The holidays are a busy time . . . but life can be even more hectic! In the midst of work, after-school activities, grocery shopping, and business trips, how are parents supposed to find the time to build within their families a lasting foundation of faith?

Focus on the Family wants to step in and give you some tips. Sign up by clicking here for a free e-book called 101 Surefire Ways to Strengthen Your Child’s Faith. With creative ideas on weaving faith into everyday conversations, turning family activities into learning opportunities, and having faith-filled holiday celebrations, this book is jam-packed with fun and interesting, easy, faith-building ideas for your family.

Another way to invest in your child’s faith is through the Odyssey Adventure Club (OAC). It offers safe and free content for everyone in your family, including an Advent calendar, a broadcast download with tips to create a memorable Christmas, AIO cutouts and Christmas stocking stuffer cards. Membership to the OAC costs just $9.99 a month — or even less if parents make a six-month or one-year commitment. Enrollment provides more than enough content to keep kids engaged throughout the year:

  • Access to exclusive content and first looks at books and select Radio Theatre dramas.
  • On-the-go access to the OAC app for both iOS and Android users.
  • 24/7 streaming access to nearly 800 AIO episodes.
  • A new, members-only AIO episode every month.
  • A subscription to Adventures in Odyssey Clubhouse Magazine, and more.

Another fun way to build your child’s faith: have a family craft night and use it as a faith-building opportunity! Click the image below for a printable Town of Odyssey cutout set. Bonus points if you listen to an Adventures in Odyssey episode while you put together your town!

In our latest episode, we dive into the real struggles of transitioning from part-time to full-time writing. It’s not just about the words on the page; it’s about the daily habits and mindset shifts that lead to success.

We discuss the importance of keeping a writer’s log to track progress and hold ourselves accountable. It’s a game-changer! 

Writing is more than just a passion; it’s a commitment to our goals. And sometimes, that means adjusting expectations and embracing the unique path we’re on.

Is it just about getting published or making money? Or is there a deeper reason fueling your fire?

Drop a 🔥 if you’re still working on clarifying your why—trust us, it makes all the difference in staying motivated.

We’ve spent years chasing publication, but it wasn’t until we remembered our true purpose—creating stories that inspire and uplift—that our passions reignited. Knowing why we write helps us push through the frustrations and keep going, even when it’s hard (because, y’all—writing is hard).

Your why isn’t just a line in your bio; it’s the fire that keeps you writing through the setbacks and self-doubt. So, what’s yours? Share below, we want to hear it!
