Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about one of the best ways to show thankfulness: worship. Worship isn’t just about singing songs at church; it’s our way of saying thank you to God — with our hearts, our voices, and our joy.
In Psalm 100:4, it says, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and bless His name.” When this psalm was written, God’s people would come to the temple singing, clapping, and celebrating how good He was. Worship was never quiet or routine — it was full of energy and thankfulness! And now, because of Jesus, we don’t have to go to a temple to worship. God’s Spirit lives in us, which means we can worship anywhere — at church, in the car, in our room, even in the shower.
If Jesus were sitting next to you today, I think He’d say, “Worship isn’t about sounding perfect — it’s about being thankful. Sing from your heart, not for others, but for Me.”
In this episode, we’ll talk about how worship is thankfulness in action — how singing, praying, or even dancing can remind us that God is good and that He’s always worthy of our praise. Worship helps our hearts refocus and remember how amazing God really is, no matter what kind of day we’re having.
Before you go, talk about this together: What’s one way you like to worship God — singing, praying, dancing, drawing, or something else?
And remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
