What Should I Do If I'm Nervous About a New Grade or New Teacher? | Carpooling with Jesus Bonus
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.

Anchored in Philippians 4:6-7 and the story of Joshua (wh
July 31 | First Day Eve Courage | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

July 30 | The Listening Superpower | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 list
July 29 | Pick Your One Word for the School Year | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 jus
BONUS Daniel Ep 1: Taken From Home | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible | Carpooling with Jesus

Most kids know Daniel because of the lions. But long before the lions' den, Daniel was a teenager who got taken from his home.

July 28 | The Empty Backpack Prayer | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 i
July 27 | The Friend You Want to Be This Year | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 j
July 24 | When You Didn't Get Picked | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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
July 23 | When You Miss Someone This Summer | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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
July 22 | Who You Are When Nobody's Telling You What to Do | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 bak
July 21 | Three Thanks Beats Grumpy | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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
July 20 | The Boredom Treasure Hunt | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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
July 17 | The Long Car Ride Honor Test | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 tir
July 16 | When Your Sibling Is Driving You Crazy | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 fi
July 15 | Kind When the Cousins Pile In | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 th
July 14 | When the Trip Goes Sideways | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 did
July 13 | What to Say to Grandparents | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
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 f
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.
This Wednesday episode hands kids th
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.
This Tuesday episode hands kids three thi
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. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Psalm 19:1 and helps kids see that the sky over their own backyard is bigger than any cathedral people could build. Creation is always announcing how great God is, if we slow down enough to look.
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.
This Friday episo
July 2 | Free to Do Right When Nobody's Watching | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids Devotional
Hey Carpool Crew,
Freedom Week rolls into day two with the question every kid runs into all summer long: what do I do when nobody's watching? Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens 1 Peter 2:16, where Peter says being free was never meant to be a cover-up for doing wrong. Real freedom shows up in the quiet, unsupervised moments, when doing right is completely your own call.
This Thurs
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.
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
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.

By the end of Genesis 37, Joseph is sold by his own
June 22 | First Day Nerves | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

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. The first day was great, but now they just want their bed. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Psalm 23:4, where David teaches that God is not just in the green pa
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
June 16 | When Plans Change Last Minute | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,
Summer is the season of changed plans. The closed restaurant. The thunderstorm. The flat tire. The full campground. Every changed plan is a quiet question your kid is being asked: do you trust God with this day, or only the original plan? Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Proverbs 16:9, where Solomon tells us we plan, but God determines what actuall
June 15 | The Long Drive Patience Test | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids
Hey Carpool Crew,

He walks kids through James 1:4, where Scripture says endurance gets built in stuck moments, not easy ones. The back-seat-at-hour-three is one of the easiest places to actually grow it.

June 12 | Sharing Your Stuff | Devotional for kids Carpooling with Jesus
Hey Carpool Crew,
Kids hoard. Not in a bad way. It is just where they live. Their stuff is their stuff. The new scooter, the controller, the trading cards. The instinct is to protect it. But when a friend asks to borrow something and the answer is yes, something between those two kids gets bigger. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Acts 20:35, where Paul quotes Jesus
June 11 | Standing Up for Someone | Devotional for kids Carpooling with Jesus
Hey Carpool Crew,
Most kids freeze. Not because they are mean. Because they do not know what to say in the moment when a kid is being made fun of in front of them. So they laugh nervously, put their earbuds in, or look at their phone, and the moment passes. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Proverbs 31:8, where the Bible says to speak up for those who have no voice.
