Hey Carpool Crew, Camp is one of the wildest places on earth for friendship. By day three your kid will probably have an inside joke with somebody who was a stranger 24 hours earlier.

Hey Carpool Crew! This week we're starting a five-episode journey through the life of Joseph, one of the most surprising heroes in the Bible. In Episode 1, we go back to the beginning. Joseph is seventeen, the favorite son in a complicated family, and God gives him a dream that nobody around him is ready to hear. The reaction is fast and brutal. By the end of Genesis 37, Joseph is sold by his own brothers and headed to Egypt. The dream God gave him is still alive. The people closest to him are not. For parents listening with your kids: this episode is a doorway into a real conversation about what to do when the people in your child's life don't celebrate what God is doing in them. We name the pain honestly and we anchor it in who God says they are. Today's One Thing: Sometimes the people closest to you won't understand what God is doing in your life. Stay rooted in who God says you are. Scripture: Genesis 37:5 (CSB) The arc: * Episode 1: When People Don't Get You (Backstory) * Episode 2: When You're Far From Home (Slavery and Potiphar's house) * Episode 3: Faithful in the Hard Place (False accusation and prison) * Episode 4: When God Lifts You Up (Pharaoh and elevation) * Episode 5: The Forgiveness That Saves a Family (Reunion and legacy) Carpoolingwithjesus.com Get involved with the Carpool Crew: follow @carpoolingwithjesus and tell us which Bible hero you want us to cover next.

Hey Carpool Crew, There is a moment in the middle of almost every summer trip where your kid stops being excited and starts going quiet. The pillow at grandma’s smells wrong. The hotel light is too bright. The first day was great, but now they just want their bed. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Psalm 23:4, where David teaches that God is not just in the green pastures, He is in the valley too. Missing home is not a baby feeling. It is a real one. And God is right there in the middle of it.

Hey Carpool Crew, Summer is the season of changed plans. The closed restaurant. The thunderstorm. The flat tire. The full campground. Every changed plan is a quiet question your kid is being asked: do you trust God with this day, or only the original plan? Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Proverbs 16:9, where Solomon tells us we plan, but God determines what actually happens. That isn’t bad news. That’s good news.

Hey Carpool Crew! What should kids do when they’re bored during summer break?
