For Parents
If your kid is heading into a summer of camps, neighbors, and conversations where Jesus comes up, this episode meets them there. Pastor Justin walks them through Matthew 16, where Jesus asks his disciples 'But who do you say that I am?' and Peter answers without flinching. Lands them in the One Thing: you decide who Jesus is to you. After it ends, sit with your kid this week and ask them the same question, no right answer required.
