This week, we begin with an unusual collection of national holidays and a few unbelievable headlines from the past week.

Then we talk about accepting the people God created us to be and releasing the pressure we place on ourselves. What happens when we let go of pride, become more honest about what we know, and stop pretending to care about things that simply aren’t ours to carry?

Join us for honesty, humor, unexpected turns, and a reminder that grace gives us room to keep learning, growing, and becoming more comfortable with who we are.

A little bit of everything on this week’s Grace Period.

Josh and Noel catch up on life and talk about finding balance—not by trying to feel happy all the time, but by making space for all the emotions that come with being human.

We also recognize National Suicide Prevention Month and talk about the importance of checking in, reaching out, and reminding people they don’t have to navigate the hard stuff alone.

And because it’s Grace Period, we definitely get sidetracked. Zombies. School pictures. The anniversaries we carry with us as we move through life. And probably a few tangents we forgot we even went on.

Some serious. Some ridiculous. All part of life.

Summer is winding down, school is back, and we have plenty to talk about!

Josh Nauman joins Noel Thompson as they ook back at another great CLC Family Camp at San Simeon—the memories, the laughs, what makes the weekend so special, and why getting away together is such an important part of our church community.

Then we turn the page to back-to-school season! We talk about the return of routines, the chaos of school mornings, what school was like when we were kids, and the excitement (and stress!) that comes with the start of a new year.

Family Camp memories, back-to-school stories, plenty of laughs, and more on this week's Grace Period!
