Back to School Survival: Meal Prep Tips & First Day Fears

Join Justin and Merideth as they dive into back-to-school nostalgia, the chaos of meal prepping, and how to stay focused on your spiritual vision during busy seasons. This episode is all about finding encouragement in the everyday moments of life, from the classroom to the kitchen.

In this conversation, we share some hilarious memories of growing up in the 80s and 90s, including the legendary PE scooters and the struggle of opening milk cartons in kindergarten. We also get real about the challenges of communication, Justin’s infamously bad handwriting, and the importance of having a clear vision of who Jesus is. Whether you are a student heading back to class, a teacher preparing your room, or a parent navigating a busy schedule, there is a word of encouragement here for you.

We also take time to discuss what it looks like to be a witness for Christ in your daily environment. Being a light does not just happen on Sundays; it is about how we treat others on the playground, in the break room, and throughout our communities. Stick around until the end for some special shoutouts to our amazing volunteers and an update on the exciting growth happening at Frontline.
