March 14th: "Here Am I, Send Me" – Trusting God’s Big Plans | Carpooling with Jesus

Hey friends! 🚗✨ Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus ! Whether you’re in the car, having breakfast, or winding down for bed, I’m so glad you’re here. Today, we’re diving into a powerful story from the book of Isaiah—a story about saying YES to God, even when it feels big and scary. 💡 Today’s Bible Verse: "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’" – Isaiah 6:8 🔥 Episode Highlights: Isaiah was a prophet chosen by God to share His messages with people. One day, Isaiah had a vision of God on His throne, surrounded by angels. It was so incredible that Isaiah realized how small and imperfect he was. But when God asked, “Who will go for us?” , Isaiah didn’t hesitate—he said, “Here am I, send me!” Isaiah wasn’t the biggest, strongest, or smartest, but he trusted God and followed His call. Jesus loves when we have a willing heart to say YES to God’s plans! 🙌 Jesus’ Encouragement: If Jesus were sitting next to you, He might say: "I love when you’re willing to say yes to what God asks you to do. You don’t have to be the biggest, strongest, or smartest—just trust in me, and I will help you. When you say, ‘Here am I, send me,’ you are showing great faith, and I will always be right beside you." 📖 Real-Life Connection: Imagine your teacher asks for a volunteer to read aloud in class. Your heart pounds, and you want to raise your hand—but what if you mess up? That’s how I felt as a kid (and sometimes still do!). One day, I remembered Isaiah’s story. Instead of looking away, I took a deep breath, raised my hand, and read. I stumbled on a few words, but I did it! My teacher was proud, and so was my mom. I learned that saying YES to something scary can lead to something amazing. 💡 What About You? Is there something God is asking you to do? Maybe helping a friend, being kind to someone new, or standing up for what’s right? 🙏 Friday Prayer: "God, thank You for this week. Help us finish strong and bless our weekend with joy and rest. Amen." 💭 Family Discussion Question: What is one thing you can say YES to this week that will honor God? 🎧 Parents: If you love this podcast, share it with other parents or even your kids' pastor at church! We’d love for more families to have faith-filled moments together.
