Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something that’s not always easy to be thankful for: discipline. Yep, that word that makes everyone cringe a little! Whether it’s losing screen time, getting sent to your room, or having to say sorry when you don’t want to — no one likes those moments. But guess what? God uses discipline to help us grow.

In Hebrews 12:6, it says, “For the Lord disciplines the one He loves.” The early Christians who first read this verse were going through some really tough times. They were wondering, “If God loves me, why is this so hard?” The writer reminded them that discipline isn’t punishment — it’s love. Just like a good coach or a loving parent corrects you so you can grow stronger, God steps in to guide us because He cares deeply about who we’re becoming.

If Jesus were sitting next to you in the car, I think He’d say, “When you get corrected, don’t just get upset — listen. You’re being taught because you’re loved. I see the kind of person you can become, even when you can’t see it yet.”

In this episode, we’ll talk about how to see discipline as protection, not punishment — and why it’s something to actually be thankful for. From coaches who push us to try again, to parents who make rules to keep us safe, every correction is shaping us into who God designed us to be.

Before you go, talk about this together: What’s one time you got disciplined that helped you grow or change for the better?

And remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.
