July 10 | When Telling the Truth Is Hard | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
2d ago00:05:35Tap to summarizeHey Carpool Crew, The second a kid messes up, the brain starts building a story to stay out of trouble. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Ephesians 4:25 and reframes honesty for kids. We belong to each other like one family, so telling the truth, even the hard truth, is one of the ways we actually love the people around us. A lie protects you for a minute. The truth protects the people you love for a long time. This Friday episode hands kids three things to try this week: tell the truth about something they've been hiding before it gets heavier, whisper a one-sentence prayer for courage, and ask the heart question, am I being honest to protect myself or because I love them? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together. Today's One Thing: Telling the truth is one way we love the people around us.

Transcribe →July 9 | When You're Scared to Try | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
3d ago00:05:17Tap to summarizeHey Carpool Crew, Twisty stomach, feet that won't move. Every kid knows the feeling of wanting to try something and being scared to. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Isaiah 41:10, where God says I will be with you, I will strengthen you, I will hold on to you. The Bible never tells kids to feel brave out of nowhere. It tells them God is with them, and that's where the brave comes from. This Thursday episode hands kids three things to try this week: take one small first step toward a thing they've been scared of, whisper a one-sentence prayer right before the scary part, and learn that you take the step with God first and the brave shows up on the way. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together. Today's One Thing: You don't have to be brave alone, because God is with you. Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 (CSB) https://carpoolingwithjesus.com

4d ago00:04:26Tap to summarizeHey Carpool Crew, The second we do something nice, most of us want a little credit for it. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Luke 6:35 and shows kids a different kind of kindness, the kind that expects nothing back. The good you do when nobody is watching is the good that looks the most like God, and He never misses a single quiet, hidden one. This Wednesday episode hands kids three things to try this week: do one kind thing they keep totally secret, hand the credit to God instead of waiting for it, and ask the heart question, would I still do it if no one ever found out? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together. Today's One Thing: The best kindness is the kind that expects nothing back. Scripture: Luke 6:35 (CSB) https://carpoolingwithjesus.com
Transcribe →July 7 | Doing Hard Things When Nobody's Checking | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
5d ago00:04:19Tap to summarizeHey Carpool Crew, Every kid knows the temptation to do a job halfway when nobody's checking. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Colossians 3:23 and flips the whole thing around. The main person your kid is working for isn't a parent, coach, or teacher. It's God, and that changes even the boring stuff into something worth doing all the way. This Tuesday episode hands kids three things to try this week: pick one job and do every part of it like it's for God, say one short prayer when they want to quit halfway, and ask the heart question, who am I really working for? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together. Today's One Thing: Do your work for God, even when no one is watching. Scripture: Colossians 3:23 (CSB) https://carpoolingwithjesus.com

Creation is always announcing how great God is, if we slow down enough to look.

1w ago00:04:40Tap to summarizeHey Carpool Crew, Freedom Week hits the big question today: why did Jesus have to die? On Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Romans 5:8 and explains the cross to kids the way they can actually picture it. Every wrong thing we do runs up a bill too big to pay. Jesus stepped in and paid the whole thing Himself, not because anyone made Him, but because He wanted us with Him. This Friday episode hands kids three things to try this week: say one thank-you sentence to Jesus out loud, stop hiding when you mess up because the bill is already paid, and ask the heart question, am I trying to earn God's love or do I believe Jesus already covered it?

Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin kicks off Freedom Week with Galatians 5:1, where Paul says Christ set us free. Free, it turns out, was never about doing whatever you want. It's about finally being able to do what's right. This Wednesday episode hands kids three things to try this week: pick one right thing nobody's making you do, pray three quick words when you feel the tug to do wrong, and ask the heart question, am I trying to earn God's love or do I already have it? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together. Today's One Thing: Jesus didn't break your chains so you could run wild. He broke them so you could turn around and do the right thing.

2w ago00:04:54Tap to summarizeHey Carpool Crew, Last day of June. Your kid has spent a month at camp, on the road, with siblings, in cabins, in hotel beds, at grandma's. They are probably running on fumes. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Isaiah 40:31, the verse with eagle wings in it. The kind that fills a kid up instead of just patching them up. You can't run the second half of summer on yesterday's energy. This Tuesday episode gives kids three real moves for refilling. The four-word prayer move. The plug-in-first move. The God-not-screens move. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together. Today's One Thing: Whispering "God, fill me" is the move when your tank is empty.

2w ago00:05:00Tap to summarizeHey Carpool Crew Parents, This week is the bridge. June is almost done. July is about to start. Your kid is basically at halftime of summer. Today's episode walks them into the locker room for a quick check-in instead of letting them coast or quit. Pastor Justin walks through 2 Corinthians 4:16 and gives kids a frame for honestly evaluating June without shame. Whether their first half was great or rough, halftime is not for quitting. It is for refilling. Three small ways to step into the second half on purpose. About six minutes long, kid-friendly, ready to talk about together. Press play in the carpool or at the kitchen table. Today's One Thing: Halftime is for refilling, not quitting.
