June 12th: Don’t Fall Out the Window: Staying Focused on God | Carpooling with Jesus

Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re talking about a true story from the Bible that’s both surprising and unforgettable — a boy named Eutychus literally fell asleep during a late-night sermon… and fell out of a third-story window. 😴💥

📖 Key Verse: “And a young man named Eutychus... sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.” — Acts 20:9

But don’t worry — the story doesn’t end there. God worked a miracle.

🧠 Big Idea:
God can work through our accidents — but He calls us to be present, alert, and ready to listen.

🏡 In this episode:

• Why church was held in houses in Bible times

• What it felt like to be packed into a hot upper room with oil lamps

• A teenage boy who tried to stay focused… but just couldn’t keep his eyes open

• How Paul responded, how God moved, and how it all points back to grace

💡 Practical Takeaways for Kids:

• Get good sleep before church or time with Jesus

• Leave devices behind so you can focus

• Bring a notebook or doodle during teaching to stay engaged

📝 Family Discussion Question:
What’s one thing you can do this week to show up fully and focus better when it’s time to learn about Jesus?
