For Parents
If your kid watched a moment at school and walked past instead of stopping, this episode meets them there. Pastor Justin walks them through Luke 10 and the Good Samaritan, names that the person no one expected was the hero, and lands them in the truth that loving is doing. After it ends, share a time you stopped for someone when it would have been easier to keep walking.
The One Thing for the Ride
