## Resource

Pastor Justin welcomes the Carpool crew, gives a shout-out to Oliver Carter and Benjamin at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas, and shares the main takeaway: encouraging others helps them grow. Using 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (“encourage one another and build each other up”), he explains that words can either build people up or tear them down, and Jesus cares how we use them. He contrasts the lasting impact of kind words versus mean or absent words, and tells a story of a struggling player who improved and didn’t quit because a teammate consistently encouraged them. He challenges listeners to cheer others on, speak life-giving words, and notice and praise effort, then invites parents to share the podcast and asks who listeners can encourage today.
