(Post by: Lilly Hobbs)

Cue the sunshine, iced coffee, and long summer evenings, it’s time for our June recap! If your summer schedule has been a little hectic, don’t worry. We’ve gathered everything we shared throughout the month of June into one place, so you can easily catch up on every blog post, podcast episode, and social media post. Every month, we like to hit the rewind button and gather everything we’ve shared so you don’t have to go searching for it.

Think of this as your monthly reset! It’s a place to revisit what mattered, catch anything you missed, and pass along content to someone who needs encouragement, conviction, or a fresh perspective on their faith.

Without further ado, here are a few favorites from the month of June…

JUNE BLOG POSTS (OLDEST TO NEWEST)

A FEW FAVORITES FROM THE MONTH OF MAY: https://thefew.blog/2026/06/04/a-few-favorites-from-the-month-of-may-2026/

Excerpt: School’s out, the days are longer, and summer is officially knocking at the door! But before we dive headfirst into sunshine, road trips, cookouts, and everything June has to offer, we wanted to take a look back at May. It was a month filled with meaningful conversations, fresh content, and opportunities to challenge ourselves and others to follow Jesus faithfully in a culture that often encourages the opposite.

THE CHURCH WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE CONTENT: https://thefew.blog/2026/06/11/the-church-was-never-meant-to-be-content/

Excerpt: The Church was never meant to be content. It was meant to be a family. A body. A community. A people called out of darkness and into the marvelous light of Christ. Christian content can be a wonderful supplement, but it makes a terrible substitute. 

OTHERWISE THAN BY HEARSAY: https://thefew.blog/2026/06/18/otherwise-than-by-hearsay-2/

Excerpt: Too many of us are still trying to figure God out with our heads, and I’m here to tell you today that that doesn’t work. It never will. Tozer said, “You can’t get at Him with your mind.” So cut it out! You have to get helpless before Jesus. 

DON’T HANG UP YOUR HARP:  https://thefew.blog/2026/06/25/dont-hang-up-your-harp/

Excerpt: This is why we worship! We worship because those of us who are saved are set apart because of what Jesus has done for us on the cross. Where you are doesn’t determine who you are.

JUNE PODCAST EPISODES (OLDEST TO NEWEST)

Christian Struggles No One Talks About: https://afewminuteswiththefew.podbean.com/e/christian-struggles-no-one-talks-about-s6ep73/

Episode Description: Do you ever struggle with things as a Christian that you feel like nobody talks about? In this fun, rapid-fire episode of A Few Minutes With The Few, we’re reacting to some of the most relatable struggles Christians secretly deal with—from comparison and distraction to overthinking, people-pleasing, spiritual burnout, and feeling guilty for resting.

We share our honest reactions, laugh at some of our own experiences, and talk about what Scripture has to say about the struggles many Christians quietly carry.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one wrestling with these things, this conversation is for you. Let’s get into it!

When Parenthood Costs Something: https://afewminuteswiththefew.podbean.com/e/when-parenthood-costs-something-s6ep74/ 

Episode Description: What happens when love requires sacrifice? In this episode, we discuss the heartbreaking story surrounding Jesse and Ashley Ridgeway’s decision to abort their baby after a Down Syndrome diagnosis. From a Christian perspective, we wrestle with difficult questions about suffering, human dignity, and what it means to be a parent in a culture that often prioritizes comfort above calling. Parenthood was never designed to be convenient, and that’s exactly what makes it sacred. Let’s get into it!

Why Most Of Gen Z Is Intimidated By Marriage And Parenthood:  https://afewminuteswiththefew.podbean.com/e/why-most-of-gen-z-is-intimidated-by-marriage-and-parenthood-s6ep75/

Episode Description: Why does marriage and parenthood feel so intimidating to Gen Z? In this episode, we explore whether the fear goes deeper than finances, culture, or commitment. Many in our generation grew up with busy parents, packed schedules, and the feeling that our care was often outsourced to schools, coaches, programs, and screens. What if what we really wanted wasn’t more opportunities, but more presence? We discuss the sacrifices parents are called to make, the biblical purpose of family, and why embracing selflessness may be the key to rebuilding a culture that values marriage and children. Let’s get into it!

Stop Waiting For Your Real Life To Begin: https://afewminuteswiththefew.podbean.com/e/stop-waiting-for-your-real-life-to-begin-s7ep1/

Episode Description: Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Life will finally start when…”? Maybe it’s when you get married, finish school, land your dream job, buy a house, or reach some other milestone you’ve been anticipating. The problem is that many of us become so focused on the next season that we fail to fully invest in the one God has already given us.

In this episode, we discuss why your current season isn’t a waiting room. We explore how Christians can stop merely enduring the present and start stewarding it well through contentment, gratitude, intentional relationships, and faithful obedience. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, in college, starting a career, or navigating an unexpected season of life, God has work for you to do right now. Let’s get into it!

Faith On The Field: The MLB Controversy Explained:https://afewminuteswiththefew.podbean.com/e/faith-on-the-field-the-mlb-controversy-explained-s7ep2/

Episode Description: Is there still room for Christianity in the public square?

Just this month, an MLB player found himself at the center of controversy after writing a Bible verse on his hat and receiving a warning from league officials. Why did this happen? Was it simply about enforcing league policy, or does it reveal something deeper about how Christian beliefs are viewed in today’s culture?

In this episode, we unpack the controversy, discuss the growing tension between biblical convictions and cultural expectations, and explore what it means to stand firm in your faith while showing Christlike love. We’ll talk about religious freedom, consistency in how beliefs are treated, and how Christians can respond with both truth and grace when following Jesus comes with opposition.

Whether you agree with the league’s decision or not, this conversation invites us to ask a bigger question: Are we more concerned with fitting into the culture or faithfully following Christ? Let’s get into it!
