Carpooling with Jesus | Bible Stories for Kids Devotionals Daily Devotional for Kids Daily Christian Kids Devotional

Hey, Carpool Crew! What if everything changes? What if growing up feels too big or too fast? In today’s episode of Carpooling with Jesus, we’re talking about one of the most common fears kids face — the future. Whether it’s a sibling going off to college, the thought of moving out one day, or just the unknown of what’s next, Jesus has something powerful to say. In Matthew 6:34, He tells us not to worry about tomorrow — because God is already there. He invites us to trust Him with what’s ahead and live fully in today. You’ll hear Maya’s story from Florida about how she faced this exact fear and how Jesus helped her enjoy the moment instead of letting fear steal it. Today’s message will help you learn how to breathe, be present, and remember that Jesus is already in your future — and that means you’re never facing it alone. 📍 Talk about it together: What's something you're really enjoying right now — and how can you thank God for this part of today? I’ll see you tomorrow on Carpooling with Jesus. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

Hey, Carpool Crew! Today’s episode is for anyone who’s ever had to say goodbye to a pet — or is scared of that happening one day. Whether it’s a goldfish, a hamster, a dog, or a cat, losing a pet is hard… because loving them meant something real. We’re continuing our October series What Would Jesus Say About the Things That Scare Us? — and today we’re talking about grief. In John 11:35, the shortest verse in the Bible simply says: “Jesus wept.” That’s two words, but they show us something really important: Jesus understands sadness. When someone he loved died, he cried. And that means your tears matter to him too. If you’ve lost a pet — or you’re scared of losing one — Jesus doesn’t roll his eyes or rush you to feel better. He sits with you in your sadness. He cares about the things you care about. You can talk to him, cry with him, and thank him for the memories that made your pet so special. Before you go, talk about this together: 📍 What’s one thing you loved about a pet you had — and how can you thank God for that memory today? I’ll see you tomorrow on Carpooling with Jesus. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

Hey carpool crew! Whether you're looking at a stormy sky or just feeling a little nervous about what could happen, today’s episode is all about a big fear many kids (and grownups!) face — natural disasters like tornadoes and earthquakes. Pastor Justin takes us to Mark 4:39–40, where Jesus calms a wild storm with just three words: “Silence. Be still.” Jesus' power over the wind and waves reminds us that He is stronger than any storm, and even when the storm keeps going, we are never alone. You’ll also hear a real story from a listener named Kayla, who lives in tornado country, and how she and her family found peace by praying and singing “Jesus Loves Me” during a scary night. This episode helps kids prepare wisely, trust deeply, and remember that God’s voice is stronger than any storm. Whether you’re in the hallway with flashlights or just feeling anxious before bed, Jesus is right there — riding it out with you and ready to bring peace. 🎧 Today’s Bottom Line: Jesus is stronger than every storm — and He's with you through them all. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

Hey carpool crew! Whether you're facing a big move, starting at a new school, or just feeling nervous about all the changes around you — this episode is for you. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin talks about one of the biggest fears many kids face: what if I have to move or change schools? We’ll look at Isaiah 43:19, where God says, “I’m doing something new… I will make a way in the wilderness.” This verse reminds us that even when things feel scary or uncertain, God is already making a way for us — not just to get through it, but to discover something new and good in the process. You'll hear the story of Mateo, a real kid who had to move away from everything he knew — and how God showed up through one act of kindness in a brand new classroom. Whether you’re heading to a new place or learning to be brave in the one you’re already in, this episode will remind you that Jesus goes ahead of you, walks beside you, and never leaves you behind. 🎧 Today’s takeaway: God doesn’t just comfort us when things change — He creates new things through the change. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

Hey Carpool Crew — I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here. This is a special Carpooling with Jesus+ bonus episode — part of our series: 👉 “What Should I Do If…” We’re talking about real stuff kids face every day — at school, in the neighborhood, and even at church. And today’s topic is a big one: What Should I Do If...Im being Bullied. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Action Step: Parents — use this episode as more than background noise. Use it as a launching point for a real conversation with your child. Here are some questions to get you started. Ask them gently, without pressure, and be ready to listen without interrupting. The goal is to open the door, not to get all the answers right away. 💬 Questions to Ask Your Child: “Have you ever seen someone get picked on at school or in your neighborhood?” “What do you think bullying looks like? What makes it different from someone just having a bad day?” “Has anyone ever made you feel nervous, embarrassed, or unsafe — on purpose?” “If that ever happened, would you feel comfortable telling me or another adult?” “What do you think Jesus would say to someone being bullied?” “What would you do if you saw a kid sitting alone every day?” “Do you know what to say if someone is being mean to you over and over?” “Has anyone ever said something to you online that felt wrong or hurtful?” “Have you ever done or said something you wish you could take back?” “Is there anything you haven’t told me because you weren’t sure how I’d respond?” These questions help you gently explore both sides of the experience — whether they’ve seen bullying, experienced it, or participated in it. 🚩 Signs That Your Child Might Be Getting Bullied: Even when kids don’t say anything out loud, their behavior often tells the story. Here are some typical signs to watch for: Suddenly not wanting to go to school or church Complaints of stoma ch aches, headaches, or feeling sick before school Torn clothing, missing items, or unexplained bruises Big mood swings after school — especially sadness or anger Trouble sleeping or frequent nightmares A drop in confidence or saying things like, “I’m dumb” or “No one likes me” Changes in eating habits (eating way more or less than usual) Avoiding social situations they used to enjoy Withdrawing from friends or acting distant Refusing to talk about what happened that day Sometimes it’s subtle. Sometimes it’s loud. But it’s always worth leaning in.   🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.   Each episode of Carpooling with Jesus is a short, faith-filled devotional for kids—perfect for car rides, breakfast tables, bedtime routines, or anywhere your family has a few minutes to connect with God.

Hey carpool crew! If the words “checkup” or “dentist” make your stomach twist, you’re not alone — and today’s episode is just for you. We’re continuing our October series What Would Jesus Say About the Things That Scare Us? by looking at a fear many kids (and adults!) deal with: going to the doctor or dentist. In this episode, Pastor Justin shares a powerful story from Luke 8:48 where Jesus doesn’t just heal a woman’s body — He gives her peace. Whether you’re nervous about a shot, a cleaning, or just that big light over the chair, this episode reminds us that Jesus meets us right where we are and walks with us through every uncomfortable moment. You’ll learn: How Jesus helps us feel brave even when we’re scared A short prayer you can whisper before an appointment What it means to “go in peace” — even in the waiting room! Jesus doesn’t expect you to be fearless. He’s proud of your courage even when you’re holding someone’s hand tight or blinking back tears. So let’s face this fear together with faith, peace, and maybe even a stuffed animal in hand. 🎧 This episode is great for families talking about upcoming appointments, facing nervous feelings, or teaching kids to trust Jesus in everyday moments. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

Hey carpool crew! 👋 Maybe you woke up today still feeling a little shaky from a bad dream, or maybe you’ve had a few nights recently where falling asleep felt scary. You’re not alone. On today’s Carpooling with Jesus, we’re continuing our October series, What Would Jesus Say About the Things That Scare Us?—and today’s fear is a nighttime one: scary dreams. Proverbs 3:24 says, “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; you will lie down, and your sleep will be pleasant.” This is a promise reminding us that God gives peace even while we sleep. He doesn’t sleep or forget about us—He’s with us in the daylight and in the dark. If Jesus were sitting at the end of your bed after a nightmare, He wouldn’t roll His eyes. He’d say, “I’m here. You’re safe. You can rest.” Today’s episode will help you learn how to respond when you wake up scared, what the Bible says about sleep and peace, and how to pray for calm when your dreams get scary. 📍 Question of the Day: What helps you feel safe when you wake up from a scary dream? See you tomorrow for more Carpooling with Jesus! 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

Hey Carpool Crew! In tonight’s Goodnight Psalms episode, we reflect on Psalm 27:1, a verse that reminds us we don’t have to be afraid — because God is our light and our stronghold.

Hey carpool crew! 👋 Have you ever made a mistake that hurt someone you really care about—like your parents, teacher, coach, or a close friend? That heavy feeling of disappointment can be tough, especially when you hear those words, “I’m not mad, just disappointed.” But today’s episode of Carpooling with Jesus is here to remind you of something important: you are loved, even when you mess up. We’re continuing our October series, What Would Jesus Say About the Things That Scare Us?—and today, we’re talking about the fear of disappointing others. In Matthew 3:17, God says about Jesus, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” And here’s the amazing part: God said that before Jesus ever did a miracle, preached a sermon, or went to the cross. He was already fully loved—not because of what He had done, but because of who He was. And that’s true for you too. You don’t have to be perfect for God—or your parents—to be proud of you. When you make mistakes (and we all do!), the best thing you can do is be honest, say you're sorry, and remember that you're still loved. Today’s devotional helps you walk through those hard moments with courage, humility, and grace. 📍 Question of the Day: What’s something you’ve done that made you feel bad—but God reminded you that you are still loved?

In today's episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin shares what Jesus says about the fear of getting lost, based on Luke 19:10: “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.” We’ll talk about what it feels like to be physically or spiritually lost—and how Jesus is always the one seeking, finding, and leading us back. You’ll hear the story of Zacchaeus, learn how to call on Jesus when life feels uncertain, and be reminded that even when no one else sees you—Jesus does. Always.

Hey Carpool Crew! Have you ever felt left out, invisible, or just really alone? Whether you're riding in the backseat or listening at the breakfast table, this episode is for you. This October, we’re in a series called What Would Jesus Say About the Things That Scare Us? — and today we’re talking about the fear of being alone. In Matthew 28:20, Jesus says: "And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Jesus gave that promise right before He returned to heaven—and it’s not just for the people standing in front of Him that day. It’s for you, right now. Even when you're sitting by yourself at lunch, walking through a quiet hallway, or feeling like no one sees you—Jesus does. In this episode, Pastor Justin reminds us: What Jesus says when we feel like no one understands Why being alone doesn’t mean being unseen How to remember that Jesus is always with you How you can turn loneliness into kindness by helping someone else This is the perfect encouragement for kids dealing with friendship struggles, lonely moments, or those quiet heart aches we don’t always talk about. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

Hey Carpool Crew! We’re kicking off our October series, What Would Jesus Say About the Things That Scare Us?—and today’s episode tackles a big one: the dark. Jesus said in John 8:12: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” That means even when you're lying in bed at night, walking down a dark hallway, or heading to the basement, you are not alone. His light is in you—and it’s stronger than fear. In this episode, Pastor Justin talks about: What Jesus would say if He were with you in a dark room Why His light is better than any nightlight How to pray when you're scared A fun and helpful way to remember John 8:12 This is a great conversation for families dealing with fear at bedtime or any time. Carpooling with Jesus is a daily Christian devotional podcast for kids and families.

Hey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin shares a powerful truth from Proverbs 28:6: “Better the poor person who lives with integrity than the rich one who distorts right and wrong.” This proverb flips what the world says about success. You’ll hear why who you are matters so much more than what you have — and how integrity is worth more than any phone, grade, trophy, or number of likes. Even Jesus, who could have chosen fame and power, chose obedience and character instead. He invites us to do the same. 🚗 Key Takeaways for Kids: Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching Being popular or having stuff doesn’t define your value God sees and celebrates every wise choice you make You don’t have to fake it to impress others—choose what’s right 👟 Practical Application: Don’t compare your life to others online or in real life Do what’s right, not just what’s easy Trust that your character matters more than your achievements 📖 Verse of the Day: Proverbs 28:6 – “Better the poor person who lives with integrity than the rich one who distorts right and wrong.” 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Action Step: Talk with your kids about how integrity shows up at school, in friendships, and online. Share a time when choosing integrity was hard but worth it—and encourage them to do the same. 💬 Family Discussion Question: What’s one area of your life where it’s hard to choose integrity—but you want to do better? 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Proverbs for children, teaching kids integrity, daily Bible devotional for kids, kids and character, wisdom over popularity, family discipleship, biblical parenting resources, helping kids follow Jesus, Carpooling with Jesus podcast.

Hey Carpool Crew! 📖 Proverbs 24:16 — “Though a righteous person falls seven times, he will get up, but the wicked will stumble into ruin.” We all mess up sometimes. We say the wrong thing, lose our temper, or make a decision we wish we hadn’t. But the Bible reminds us that wise people don’t stay down—they get back up. In today’s Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin encourages kids who feel discouraged, embarrassed, or just plain done. God isn’t asking for perfection. He’s inviting you to keep going, no matter how many times you fall. 📘 In this episode: What Proverbs teaches about failing and trying again Why Jesus may have referenced this verse when teaching Peter about forgiveness How wise kids keep growing, even after a bad day A simple reminder that real strength = getting back up ✨ Real-Life Application: Don’t expect perfection—expect to grow. When you fall, talk to God and try again. Remember: Jesus isn’t done with you. He’ll walk with you as you get back up. 🙋‍♀️ Before you go, answer this together: What’s one mistake you’ve made recently—and how can you get back up from it this week? 📣 Parents: If today’s episode encouraged your family, share it with a friend or post it in a Facebook group. It’s a great way to help more families discover Carpooling with Jesus. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe: 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, short Bible devotions for kids, devotional about perseverance, Proverbs 24:16 for kids, Christian parenting tools, how to talk to kids about failure, daily kids Bible podcast, Carpooling with Jesus.
