I want to show you why celebrating a week outside in a handmade booth becomes the most unforgettable family tradition - without feeling like a chore.

We're joined by community coaches Brent and Katie Kruithoff, who previously helped us learn to celebrate spring holidays like Passover and Pentecost. This time, they share how the fall Biblical festival of Sukkot became a unifying, joy-filled anchor for their family's yearly rhythm.

We also unpack the beautiful theology behind Sukkot: dwelling outside reminds us that "this earth is not our home," pointing our eyes to our true forever home with God in heaven.

Ready to reimagine how your family marks time? Tune in to be inspired, equipped, and excited to build traditions that echo into eternity - and learn how to start small, stay consistent, and celebrate big.
