July 10 | When Telling the Truth Is Hard | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 th
July 9 | When You're Scared to Try | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey 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 co
July 8 | The Kindness Nobody Sees | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey 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.

July 7 | Doing Hard Things When Nobody's Checking | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey 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.

July 6 | Your Backyard Is a Cathedral | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
The most amazing thing around your kid might be the stuff they walk past every day.

This Monday episode hands kids three things to try
July 3 | Why Did Jesus Have to Die? | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey 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.

July 2 | Free to Do Right When Nobody's Watching | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids Devotional
Hey Carpool Crew,

Real freedom shows up in the quiet, unsupervised moments, when doing right is completely your own call.

July 1 | What Freedom Really Means | Kids Devotional for kids Carpooling with Jesus
Hey Carpool Crew,
Summer is wide open, and so is the big question every kid eventually asks: if I could do anything I wanted, what would I do? 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.

June 30 | Refilling Your Faith Tank | Carpooling with Jesus | Daily Christian Devotional Podcast for Kids
Hey 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 yeste
June 29 | Halfway Through Summer Check-in | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey 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.

June 26 | Being a Good Cabin-mate | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
Night three at camp. The lights are off. Somebody starts ripping on the kid in bunk five for crying earlier. Three kids laugh. Your kid feels a sentence forming. They can join in. They can stay quiet. Or they can say one sentence that shuts it down. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Romans 12:10, where Paul tells believers in Rome to take the lead
June 25 | When Camp Food Is Gross | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
The pasta is soft. The mystery casserole is hard to identify. The eggs look kind of green. Your kid sits down to a tray they did not pick, and their face starts to make the face before they can stop it. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through 1 Corinthians 10:31, where Paul ends a long teaching about food with one massive sentence. Whatever you eat. Wha
June 24 | Making Friends in 24 Hours | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
Camp is one of the wildest places on earth for friendship. By day three your kid will probably have an inside joke with somebody who was a stranger 24 hours earlier. But none of it happens unless somebody walks over first. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Proverbs 18:24 and gives them a vision for being the one who starts the friendship.

June 23 | Trying the Hard Activity | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
The high ropes. The lake jump. The mountain bike trail. The horse. The deep end. Camp puts your kid in front of stuff that scares them a little, and they have about ten seconds to decide whether to try it or sit it out. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Philippians 4:13, the verse Paul wrote from a prison cell. The point most kids miss is that the s
BONUS | Joseph - When People Don't Get You | Episode 1 of 5 | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible
Hey Carpool Crew!
This week we're starting a five-episode journey through the life of Joseph, one of the most surprising heroes in the Bible. In Episode 1, we go back to the beginning. Joseph is seventeen, the favorite son in a complicated family, and God gives him a dream that nobody around him is ready to hear. The reaction is fast and brutal. By the end of Genesis 37, Joseph is sold by his own
June 22 | First Day Nerves | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
The car drove away ten minutes ago. Your kid is standing in a cabin with a hundred other kids they don't know yet. Sunscreen smell. Suitcase wheels rolling. Somebody else got the top bunk. Today's episode kicks off a brand-new Faith at Camp series for the summer drop-off season. Pastor Justin walks kids through Joshua 1:9, the verse God spoke to Joshua right before he led a whole
June 19 | Missing Home | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
There is a moment in the middle of almost every summer trip where your kid stops being excited and starts going quiet. The pillow at grandma's smells wrong. The hotel light is too bright.

June 18 | When You Can't Sleep in a New Bed | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
Summer means hotel rooms, vacation cabins, sleepovers at grandma's, bunks at camp. It also means kids lying awake in new beds with the AC clicking and the shadows looking weird. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Psalm 4:8, where David tells us he could sleep in peace anywhere because God came with him. The God who tucks your kids in at home is the

June 17 | Saying Thank You for Adventure | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
Summer is packed with stuff worth being thankful for. The lake. The roller coaster. The cousin's wedding. The cabin. The pool. The road trip pit stop with the great milkshake. And almost none of it lands as worship in your kid's heart because nobody taught them to say thank you for it. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where
