March 11th: Standing Up for What’s Right | Carpooling with Jesus

Hey friends! 🚗✨ Welcome back to Carpooling with Jesus! Whether you're on your way to school, finishing up breakfast, or taking a break from homeschooling, I’m so glad you’re here. This month, we’re talking about BIG moments from the Bible—stories that Jesus would have learned about when He was a kid. Today, we’re diving into a story about courage: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego standing up for what’s right!

💡 Today’s Bible Verse:
"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it." – Daniel 3:17

🔥 Episode Highlights:

• King Nebuchadnezzar built a massive golden statue and demanded that everyone bow to it when the music played.
• Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused because they only worshipped God.
• The king was furious and threw them into a fiery furnace!
• Instead of burning, they were completely unharmed—and a fourth figure, an angel, appeared with them!
• The king was so amazed that he praised God and changed the law.

🙌 Jesus’ Encouragement:
Jesus reminds us that standing up for what’s right isn’t always easy. It can feel lonely and even scary—but you are never alone! Just like He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, He is with YOU too.

📖 Real-Life Story:
Cannon’s school had a no-phones rule, but his friends started sneaking out of class. They pressured him to come along, but Cannon stood his ground and followed the rules. Later, when his friends got caught, one admitted, "I wish I had done what Cannon did." Even though Cannon wasn’t facing a fiery furnace, he faced peer pressure—and God was with him, just like He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

💡 Faith in Action:

• Have you ever had to stand up for something you believed in?
• How did it feel?
