For Parents
If your kid wants the big trust (a phone, more freedom, a later bedtime) but skips the small habits that earn it, this episode meets them there. Pastor Justin walks them through Luke 16:10 and the story of a girl returning an extra paper nobody asked her to return, and lands them in the truth that trust is built in tiny moments. After it ends, name one small thing your kid did this week that built trust.
