## Resource

Family vacations aren't just about getting away; they're opportunities for formation. In this episode of Facing the Dark , Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore why travel can become one of the most powerful developmental experiences in a child's life. They discuss how new environments awaken curiosity, strengthen relationships, activate learning, and help children discover the unique ways God designed them. Whether your family is taking a cross country vacation or simply spending an afternoon exploring a local park, this conversation will encourage you to see summer adventures as opportunities to disciple your children.
