August 11 | Two Are Better Than One | Carpooling with Jesus Daily Christian Devotional Podcast for Kids
Ep 588 · Aug 11, 2026 · 4 min
Hey Carpool Crew! A real friend is not about cool stuff or funny jokes. It is the one who helps you back up when you fall.

Today's One Thing: A good friend helps you back up, and you can be that friend for someone.

What Should I Do If I'm Nervous About a New Grade or New Teacher? | Carpooling with Jesus Bonus
Ep 601 · Jul 31, 2026 · 10 min
A new grade. A new teacher. A new everything. For a lot of kids, the last week of summer comes with a stomachache that isn't really a stomachache. It's nerves. In this back-to-school bonus episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin gives kids honest permission to feel nervous, then hands them a simple, repeatable way to deal with it. Anchored in Philippians 4:6-7 and the story of Joshua (who got the most nerve-racking first day in the Bible when God handed him Moses's job), this episode wal…
July 31 | First Day Eve Courage | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 576 · Jul 31, 2026 · 5 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Tomorrow's a big day. A brand-new year, a fresh start, and that excited-nervous swirl that comes the night before, with the backpack already packed by the door. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Deuteronomy 31:6, where God says be strong and courageous, because He goes with you and will not leave you. Notice why God says be brave. Not because the day will be easy, but because He's going ahead into every part of it. Your kid isn't walking into tomorrow alone, h…

July 30 | The Listening Superpower | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 577 · Jul 30, 2026 · 5 min
Hey Carpool Crew, A new year is almost here, and everybody's thinking about being smart and doing well. But there's one skill that makes a kid better at almost everything, and hardly anybody talks about it: listening. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens James 1:19, where God says everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Notice the order. Quick to listen comes first. When a kid really listens, people feel loved, friends trust them more, and they even h…
July 29 | Pick Your One Word for the School Year | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 577 · Jul 29, 2026 · 5 min
Hey Carpool Crew, A whole new year is almost here, and that can feel huge to a kid. Be better, try harder, do everything right. It's too much to aim at all at once, and most of it slips away by the second week. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Philippians 3:14, where Paul aimed at one goal and kept pressing toward it. Your kid doesn't have to fix everything this year. They just need one good word to aim at, picked with God, like brave, kind, honest, or steady. One word is some…
BONUS Daniel Ep 1: Taken From Home | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible | Carpooling with Jesus
Ep 578 · Jul 28, 2026 · 6 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Most kids know Daniel because of the lions. But long before the lions' den, Daniel was a teenager who got taken from his home. Today on Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible, Pastor Justin starts a brand-new five-episode journey with Daniel by going back to the very beginning, when King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem and marched Daniel and his three friends hundreds of miles to Babylon. Babylon tried to erase everything about them, even giving them new names to push God out.…
July 28 | The Empty Backpack Prayer | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 575 · Jul 28, 2026 · 5 min
Hey Carpool Crew, There's something about a brand-new empty backpack. It's not full of anything yet. It's just sitting there, full of a whole year that hasn't happened. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Psalm 32:8, where God promises to instruct us, show us the way, and keep His eye on us. Before a single day of the year happens, God is already promising to lead a kid through it. That empty backpack is a perfect picture of a year your kid can hand straight to God before it even…
July 27 | The Friend You Want to Be This Year | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 574 · Jul 27, 2026 · 5 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Summer's almost done, and a new year is right around the corner. Here's something most kids never realize: they get a say in what kind of friend they're going to be this year. It's not just something that happens to them. It's something they can decide. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 27:17, where iron sharpens iron. The right kind of friend doesn't just hang around, they make each other better. Your kid isn't just looking for good friends this year…
July 24 | When You Didn't Get Picked | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 571 · Jul 24, 2026 · 4 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Getting passed over stings way more than it should. A kid stands there acting like it's fine, but inside it hurts. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Psalm 34:18, where the Lord is near the brokenhearted. When a kid's heart cracks, God doesn't back away. He leans in closer, which is the exact opposite of how it feels. Not getting picked by people does not mean a kid isn't wanted by God. People can overlook them. God never does. This Friday episode hands kids th…
July 23 | When You Miss Someone This Summer | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 570 · Jul 23, 2026 · 5 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Summer makes friendships go quiet. People travel, they're at camp, families get busy, and the friend a kid saw every day is suddenly gone for a while. That quiet can feel scary, like something's wrong. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 17:17, where a friend loves at all times, which includes the quiet ones. Quiet is not the same as over. A friendship can go silent for a season and still be alive underneath. The real question isn't whether a friend wen…
July 22 | Who You Are When Nobody's Telling You What to Do | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 569 · Jul 22, 2026 · 5 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Summer does something funny. When nobody's handing kids a list, it's easy for them to forget who they are and just float through the day. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Ephesians 2:10, where we are God's workmanship, made on purpose for good works God planned ahead of time. A kid's worth doesn't switch on when a grown-up hands them an assignment. It was baked in all along. The empty day isn't a test of whether they matter. It's a blank page where the real t…
July 21 | Three Thanks Beats Grumpy | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 568 · Jul 21, 2026 · 4 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Some days a grumpy mood rolls in like a cloud and parks right over a kid's head, no real reason needed. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where we give thanks in everything, not for everything. Grumpy makes the brain hunt for what's wrong. Thankful makes it hunt for what's right. They can't both run the show. So when a kid names three real thank-yous, the grumpy has to start scooting over. This Tuesday episode hands kids three things to t…
July 20 | The Boredom Treasure Hunt | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 567 · Jul 20, 2026 · 4 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Somewhere in the middle of summer, kids hit the slump where every day feels the same and they're just bored. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 25:2, where God loves to conceal a good thing and then call us to go investigate. Boredom isn't the end of the fun. It might be the invitation right before it. God tucks good things nearby, not to keep them from us, but because He loves the joy of us finding them. This Monday episode hands kids three things to…
July 17 | The Long Car Ride Honor Test | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 566 · Jul 17, 2026 · 4 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Anybody can be respectful when everything's easy. The real test is the hard moment. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Ephesians 6:1-2, where the Bible tells kids to honor their father and mother. Honor means treating someone like they matter, with your words and your tone and your attitude. And the moment it counts most is the inconvenient one, when you're tired and you'd rather grumble. This Friday episode hands kids three things to try this week: do what you…
July 16 | When Your Sibling Is Driving You Crazy | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 560 · Jul 16, 2026 · 5 min
Hey Carpool Crew, You can't pick your siblings, you can't return them, and in the summer you're stuck with them a whole lot. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Romans 12:18, where the Bible says to live at peace as far as it depends on you. Kids can't control whether a brother or sister calms down. They can control their part. And often, when one person stops adding wood to the fire, the fire starts to go out. This Thursday episode hands kids three things to try this week: be th…
July 15 | Kind When the Cousins Pile In | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 559 · Jul 15, 2026 · 4 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Family can be the easiest people to love and the easiest people to get annoyed with, sometimes in the same five minutes. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Colossians 3:12, where the Bible says to put on kindness like clothes. Kindness isn't just a feeling that shows up. It's something a kid chooses to wear, even on a loud, crowded day, and the people we get the most chances to practice on are usually right in our own house. This Wednesday episode hands kids th…
July 14 | When the Trip Goes Sideways | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 558 · Jul 14, 2026 · 5 min
Hey Carpool Crew, A plan you were counting on falls apart, and it can wreck a kid's whole mood in two seconds. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 16:9, where we plan our way but the Lord determines our steps. Even when the day goes sideways, God hasn't lost control for one second. The plan changed. He didn't. And some of the best days of the summer are the ones that didn't go the way anybody wanted. This Tuesday episode hands kids three things to try this week: take a b…
July 13 | What to Say to Grandparents | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 557 · Jul 13, 2026 · 4 min
Hey Carpool Crew, Talking to grandparents can feel a little awkward, and a lot of kids freeze up. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 16:31, where gray hair is called a glorious crown. The best gift a kid can give an older person isn't the perfect thing to say. It's actually listening. Ask one real question, then truly pay attention to the answer, and watch their whole face light up. This Monday episode hands kids three things to try this week: ask an older person one re…
July 10 | When Telling the Truth Is Hard | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Ep 554 · Jul 10, 2026 · 6 min
Hey 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…
