Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re riding to school, crunching cereal at the kitchen table, or hanging out in the backseat — I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here.

Let’s be real: nothing’s worse than your phone or tablet dying right in the middle of your favorite game. Why does it happen? Because it’s not connected to the charger. And guess what — our hearts are the same way.

In John 15:4, Jesus says: 👉 “Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.”

That means if we want to grow in love, joy, patience, and kindness, we need to stay connected to Jesus. He’s the vine, and we’re the branches.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why Jesus compared our hearts to branches on a grapevine.

  • What it really means to stay connected to Him every day.

  • Simple ways to stay plugged in:

    1. Talk to Him — quick prayers anytime, anywhere.

    2. Remember His words — keep a verse nearby or listen to Bible podcasts.

    3. Thank Him — worship through music or simple gratitude.

When you’re connected to Jesus, you’ll notice something amazing: more peace in hard times, more patience with people, and more love even for the ones who bug you. He’s your true power source.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip: Share this episode with another parent in your Facebook group so more kids can learn how to stay close to Jesus.
