“The Train Platform”

At an imaginary train platform, a group of teens waits for different “life trains,” each promising something exciting: popularity, shortcuts, or instant success. Loud announcements echo through the station, and the teens scramble from one platform to another, afraid of missing out.

As confusion grows, one simple train called “God’s Help” quietly waits. Through humorous mishaps, tempting whispers, and honest conversations, the teens discover that God’s way may not look impressive, but it leads to the right destination.
