Best Summer Yet: 24 Ways to Be Intentional with God's Presence.

At Champion Church, we exist to help people champion every season of life.

Not just the highlight reels. Not just the "New Year, New Me" months. Every season. Even the chaotic, sunscreen-sticky, mosquito-buzzing, what-day-is-it-again stretch we call summer.

So here's the challenge: What if we didn’t just drift through the next 90 days, hoping we survive family road trips and cookouts with that one uncle who always wants to debate Revelation? What if we made this the best summer yet—not because everything goes right, but because we made space for the presence of God in the middle of it?
That’s what this is.

For the next three months, we’re giving you 24 practical ways to be intentional with the presence of God. That’s two per week, and they’re designed for real life:

• For parents who haven’t had a quiet moment since 2019
• For business leaders who are trying to balance growth and godliness
• For college students home for the summer wondering what to do next
• For retirees, newlyweds, night shift workers, coaches, supervisors, and anyone who wants more of Jesus in their daily life

These aren’t deep theology dives. They’re practical, spiritual, and often hilarious ways to invite God into your everyday rhythms. Inspired by 2 Samuel 6, where Obed-Edom hosted the Ark of the Covenant (aka the presence of God) in his house for just three months—and everything changed.

Let that sink in. Three months.

So what if your next three months were marked by:

• More peace in your home
• More joy in your conversations
• More clarity in your decisions
• More blessing in what you lead
• More presence in your presence

Here are the 24 ways we’ll explore together:

• Say "Good Morning, Holy Spirit"
• Create a presence spot in your home
• Ditch the scroll and open Scripture
• Turn your car into a chapel
• Reclaim your phone like it’s holy ground
• Let worship fill your house this summer
• Fast something small, but on purpose
• Pray over your calendar like it’s spiritual
• Speak peace into your home.
• Parent with presence, not just rules
• Keep a running list of "God showed up"
• Bring Jesus into your hobbies
• Let the Word shape your reactions
• Let God interrupt your schedule
• End your day with a 60-second replay
• Make interruptions holy
• Bring the Ark to work
• Don’t rush the presence
• The Obed-Edom effect (blessing flows from presence)
• Bless what you carry
• Don’t confuse performance with presence
• Build an Ark culture (home, team, classroom)
• From temporary to lifestyle
• Your leadership leaks presence

You don’t have to do them in order. Mix and match. Revisit the ones that hit different. Share them with a friend. Use them as a family. Print them on your fridge. Turn one into a small group night.

Just be intentional.

That’s what made Obed-Edom different. He didn’t have a spiritual resume. He just said yes. You can too.

Let’s champion this summer together.
