👋 Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus!

🚗 Today’s story is all about one of Jesus' favorite ways to show love—kindness. And not just kindness to our friends, but kindness to everyone, even people who seem different from us.

In John 4:9-10, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well—someone the world said He shouldn’t even talk to. But Jesus breaks those barriers with respect, friendship, and love, reminding us that kindness knows no limits.

🎯 Takeaways from Today’s Ride:

• Jesus chose kindness even when others didn’t

• God’s love is for everyone, not just those who look or live like us

• Real kindness crosses cultures, cliques, and comfort zones

• A simple lunch seat or smile can reflect Jesus' love in powerful ways

Pastor Justin also shares a personal story about his friend Raj and how a lunchroom friendship—spicy food and all—taught him to love like Jesus.

💬 Car Question: How can you show kindness today—even to someone who’s different from you?
