Ever feel jealous when someone else gets the spotlight, scores the winning goal, or gets the bigger dessert? You're not alone—and there's a better way to respond.

In today’s episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin helps kids understand where jealousy comes from and how God’s wisdom can turn envy into joy. Through James 3:16–17, we learn that jealousy creates confusion, but God's wisdom brings peace, mercy, and kindness. We even hear about a real-life story from Pastor Justin’s son, Canon, who learned to cheer others on—even when he didn’t win.
