## Resource

Pastor Justin welcomes the “carpool crew,” gives shout-outs to Kinsley in Chatham, Illinois and Cammie in Riverside, California, and shares the episode’s big idea: “Kindness isn’t just for nice people.” Using Luke 6:27 (“Love your enemies. Do what is good to those who hate you.”), he explains that real love chooses kindness even when others are mean, excluding, or bullying. He tells a story about Marcus, who invites a boy who mocked him to sit with his group, and over time the boy becomes less mean because kindness got his attention. Pastor Justin clarifies that kindness isn’t being a pushover—kids should set boundaries and tell a teacher if something serious happens. He suggests practical steps: don’t respond with meanness, use kind words anyway, include instead of exclude, and pray for the person, then asks families to discuss one kind thing they could do for someone who hasn’t been kind to them.
