Welcome to the summer 2023 edition of Everyday Faith. From cover to cover, you will find stories to remind you that no matter what you are facing and no matter what life brings your way, God is making all things new for you. You will find tips on how to make a legacy Bible for your family, how to cultivate a culture of kindness, and how to host a DIY summer camp. You will find true stories of hope and encouragement, and you will find truth from God’s Word. This year, and always, we are focusing on the truth that God has a plan for our lives, and He makes all things new—He tells us that in His Word over and over. You care about your faith—that's why you picked up this magazine—and we hope that this issue helps you know and share God’s love in fresh, true, and inspiring ways!
