Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re talking about a true story from the Bible that’s both surprising and unforgettable — a boy named Eutychus literally fell asleep during a late-night sermon… and fell out of a third-story window. 😴💥

📖 Key Verse: “And a young man named Eutychus... sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.” — Acts 20:9

But don’t worry — the story doesn’t end there. God worked a miracle.
