Description: Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review. In this episode of Liv2Thrive, Michael Hicks challenges the culture of performing summer — and invites faith-based leaders, couples, and women to do something far more powerful: decide with conviction how they actually want to live this season.The truth is, everyone's summer looks different. A CEO trying to unplug from work mode. A wife who planned everyone else's summer and arrived at August empty. A teacher who finally exhales. Teenagers who want independence. Couples who haven't been on the same page in months. This episode speaks to all of them — and gives each one something real to hold onto.Michael walks through 7 powerful dimensions to help you architect YOUR summer — not the Instagram version, not the influencer bucket list, but the one that aligns with who you are, what your family needs, and what God designed this season to be.What You'll Discover:• Why the "bucket list" culture is making summer feel like a performance• The doing vs. being summer tension — and how it shows up in your marriage• 7 dimensions to design your summer with intention (body, marriage, faith, kids, self, community, and your September story)• What Scripture says about rest — and why it's not optional for the leader• The one exercise that turns your summer from reactive to intentionalYour action step this week: Find 30 quiet minutes and write your answer to this question — "What do I want to be able to say about Summer 2026 in September?" Share it with your spouse. Put one thing on the calendar. That's how conviction becomes reality.Summer 2026 can be the one you actually remember.
