Hey Carpool Crew!

Summer is finally here, and today Pastor Justin asks one of the most important questions anyone can ever answer:

Who is Jesus to you?

In this special summer kickoff episode, we look at a moment when Jesus asked His disciples what people were saying about Him. Everyone seemed to have an opinion. Some thought He was a prophet. Others thought He was someone else from the Bible. But Jesus wasn't interested in what everyone else thought.

He asked a personal question:

"Who do you say that I am?"

That same question still matters today.

Kids will learn that faith isn't about borrowing someone else's answer. It's about discovering who Jesus is for themselves. Whether you're spending summer with family, at camp, with friends, or just enjoying a break from school, this episode encourages listeners to spend time getting to know Jesus personally.

Today's Bible Verse:
Matthew 16:15 (CSB)

Big Idea:
You decide who Jesus is to you.

What Kids Will Learn:
• Why Jesus asked His disciples who they believed He was
• Why everyone has to answer that question for themselves
• Simple ways to grow closer to Jesus this summer
• How faith becomes personal and real

Summer Challenge:
• Start each morning by saying, "Hi, Jesus."
• Read one chapter from Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John each week.
• Be ready to tell others who Jesus is to you.

Family Discussion Question:
Who do you say Jesus is? And how can we keep that real all summer long?
