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 walks

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.

2026/07/30

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

2026/07/29

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

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. But

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

2026/07/27

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...

Carpooling with Jesus | Bible Stories for Kids... ·

2026/07/24

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.

2026/07/23

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 went

Carpooling with Jesus | Bible Stories for Kids... ·

2026/07/22

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

2026/07/21

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 try
