## Resource

Pastor Justin reminds listeners about new “Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible” episodes on Samuel and invites families to subscribe for full access, then teaches that “growing up is a gift—don’t rush it,” based on Luke 2:52, which says Jesus increased in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and people. He explains that even Jesus grew up step by step and encourages kids to enjoy each stage, make memories, pray more, and sing loud. Sharing a home-movie story and an example of a boy named Caleb who wanted to grow up fast, he highlights the special gifts of being a kid—laughing, playing, learning, and being supported. He closes with three takeaways: enjoy where you are, keep growing, and thank God for today, plus a question: what do you love about your age right now?
