Hey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the incredible story from Mark chapter 4 when Jesus calmed a massive storm with just three words: “Silence. Be still.”

The disciples were terrified as waves crashed into their boat and the wind shook everything around them. But while everyone else panicked, Jesus stood up calmly and showed that even the wind and waves obey Him.

This episode reminds kids that Jesus is not only bigger than storms outside the boat, but also the storms happening inside our hearts and minds. Whether it’s anxiety, fear, frustration, sadness, or stress, Jesus cares about every loud feeling we carry.

Kids will learn:

Why the disciples were so afraid during the storm
How Jesus responded with peace instead of panic
What to do when emotions feel overwhelming
Why talking about your worries helps
How prayer invites Jesus into hard moments

Scripture Referenced:
Mark 4:39 (CSB)

Today’s challenge:
When your thoughts or emotions start feeling loud this week, stop and take three slow breaths while praying:
“Jesus, be still.”

Then talk to someone you trust about what’s going on inside your heart.

Special shoutouts to Peyton and Mila from Ohio and Ellie from Mansfield, Louisiana. Thanks for being part of the Carpool Crew!
