March 5th: Messing Up and Making Things Right | Carpooling with Jesus

👋 Welcome, Friends! Whether you're in the car, having breakfast, or getting ready for homeschool, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re talking about something we ALL experience—messing up. 📖 Bible Verse of the Day: "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." – Psalm 51:10 🌟 Big Idea: Even the greatest heroes of the Bible made big mistakes. But the best part? God is always ready to forgive us when we turn back to Him. 💡 Story Recap: King David, the same shepherd boy who defeated Goliath, made a big mistake. He sinned, tried to cover it up, and felt terrible about what he had done. Instead of running away from God, he prayed and asked for forgiveness and a clean heart. God forgave him and helped him make things right—just like He does for us! ❤️ What Would Jesus Say? If Jesus were sitting with us, He’d say: "Friend, everyone makes mistakes, even really big ones. But don’t ever think your mistake means I love you any less. When you mess up, don’t hide—come to me, ask for forgiveness, and I will wash your heart clean." 🏈 A Quick Story: Ethan was playing football at recess. He was so upset about losing that he lied about a touchdown. At first, he thought it was no big deal, but later, he realized he had hurt his friend’s feelings. Ethan prayed, asked God for forgiveness, and then made things right by telling the truth. His friend forgave him, and he felt so much better! 🎙 Family Discussion Time: Before you go, here’s something to talk about together: Can you think of a time when you messed up, but then made things right? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents: If you’re enjoying Carpooling with Jesus , share it with another parent who might love these faith-filled moments with their kids! 🔗 Listen & Subscribe: 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB 🚗 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ
