Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something that can feel a little tricky: the future. Sometimes we’re excited about what’s ahead — a game, a trip, or something fun — but other times the future can feel uncertain or even a little scary. The good news? God already knows what’s coming, and His plans are always good.

In Jeremiah 29:11, it says, “For I know the plans I have for you — this is the Lord’s declaration — plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

This verse was written when God’s people were living far from home in Babylon. They were scared, confused, and wondering if God had forgotten about them. But through Jeremiah, God reminded them that He still had a plan — a good one — even when they couldn’t see it yet.

If Jesus were sitting next to you right now, I think He’d say, “You don’t have to be afraid of tomorrow, because I’m already there. You might not see the whole picture yet, but I do. Trust Me — every piece of your story fits perfectly in My plan.”

In this episode, we’ll talk about how trusting God is kind of like putting together a big puzzle without seeing the box top. We don’t always understand how the pieces fit, but God does. Every day, He’s arranging things for our good — and that’s something we can be thankful for.

Before you go, talk about this together: What’s something in the future you’re nervous about, and how can you thank God in advance for being with you through it?

And remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.
