Hey Carpool Crew,

Summer makes friendships go quiet. People travel, they're at camp, families get busy, and the friend a kid saw every day is suddenly gone for a while. That quiet can feel scary, like something's wrong. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 17:17, where a friend loves at all times, which includes the quiet ones. Quiet is not the same as over. A friendship can go silent for a season and still be alive underneath. The real question isn't whether a friend went quiet. It's what kind of friend your kid will be while it's quiet.

This Saturday episode hands kids three things to try this week: send one kind message with no pressure, whisper a quick prayer to be a steady friend, and ask the heart question, do I drop people the second things get quiet, or do I love at all times? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.

Today's One Thing: A real friend keeps loving even through the quiet stretches.

Scripture: Proverbs 17:17 (CSB)
