In today’s episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin shares why we all need people by our side — especially when life gets hard. Whether you're camping with friends, hanging out in the backyard, or just having a tough day, this episode reminds us that God designed us for community.

📖 Today’s Bible verse comes from Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 (CSB):

Kids will learn what King Solomon — one of the wisest people who ever lived — had to say about friendship, support, and sticking together. Pastor Justin explains how Jesus modeled real friendship and how we can follow His lead by being the kind of friend who shows up, helps out, and lifts others up when they fall.

🎯 In this episode, kids will discover:

Why God doesn’t want us to go through life alone

What it really means to “fall” (and how to help someone when they do)

How Jesus showed up for others — and how we can too

Practical ways to be a helper at home, at school, or at camp
