Hey Carpool Crew, I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re talking about something really hard but really important—what if someone I love dies? It’s one of those fears that can hit when things get quiet, or after losing a pet or grandparent, or even when you just start thinking about what would happen if someone you love wasn’t there anymore.

In this episode, we look at John 14:2 where Jesus says, “In my Father’s house are many rooms... I’m going away to prepare a place for you.” These words weren’t meant to scare His followers—they were meant to give them hope. Jesus was reminding them (and us) that death isn’t the end for those who love Him.

If you’ve ever felt scared about losing someone, you’re not alone. Jesus understands that fear. He’s lost people too. But He wants you to know that heaven is real, and He’s preparing a place for all who believe in Him. In this episode, we’ll talk about how to find comfort, how to talk to your parents about your fears, and how to focus on the gift of each day you have with the people you love.

Before you go, talk about this together: What’s one thing about heaven that makes you feel a little less scared?

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