In his third year as Elementary Principal at Northwest Christian School, Eric Dowdle has worked, throughout his entire educational career, to create school culture in which every student feels valued. Yet, it can be challenging! The elementary years are those in which socialization is forming and students are moving from being entire self-aware towards being cognizant of the needs of their peers.

But, as Eric shares today, when school and home work together around some common objectives, we can take some of the bumps out of the road...

Crusaders Charge into Summer Reading is Northwest Christian's annual summer reading campaign. During the summer of 2025, we're jumping -- with both feet! -- into Tim Kimmel's "Raising Kids for True Greatness - Redefining Success for Your Child". Throughout Summer 2025, swing by the school's offices to pick up a free copy and join us!

Both feet? Yes! The school's two podcasts -- Kingdom Culture Conversations and Off the Page -- are each working through the book all summer.

On Off the Page, Geoff and G are working through the book chapter-by-chapter, taking a deep dive into the ideas, concepts, and principles that will help us all, as parents, to reframe how we approach raising our kids.

Then, on Kingdom Culture Conversations, we are spending time with the "Top 10" list found at the conclusion of each chapter within the book. Specifically, we are putting those lists in front of members of the NCS faculty and community that might be able to offer insights based on their role in the school.

It's going to be a great summer full of growth! Take the time to join us!

TODAY! Today, we kick off Summer 2025's "Crusaders Charge into Summer Reading" campaign with Pastor Aaron Dailey who serves as the Director of Community Involvement for Grace Based Families, a powerfully effective ministry established by Dr. Tim Kimmel, the author of this summer's book.

For over twenty year, Aaron has worked in inner city Phoenix with individuals and families that are unreached and under-resourced. His ministry reaches beyond ethnicity or economics as that God has uniquely positioned him to lead within contexts where family-strengthening resources and Biblical discipleship are deeply needed.

Today, Aaron sets the stage for what will be a powerful series for Summer 2025.

As this episode hits, it is the final Monday of the school year. And, well, I guess folks around the International Podcasting Headquarters of Kingdom Culture Conversations are feeling a bit reflective.

So, G and Geoff invited in Beth Easley, as fine an alumni of Northwest Christian as one will find, to reflect on her experiences within the school. Foundational to it all is Beth's commitment to ministry within the local church as well as her countless experiences on the mission field.
