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

2026/07/20

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.

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.

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 the

2026/07/15

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

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

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

2026/07/13

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

July 10 | When Telling the Truth Is Hard | Carpooling...

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

2026/07/10

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

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 comes from.

July 8 | The Kindness Nobody Sees | Carpooling with...

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

2026/07/08

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 three things to try this week: do one kind thing they keep totally secret, hand the credit to God instead

2026/07/07

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.

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

2026/07/03

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.

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.

2026/06/30

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 yesterday's energy. This Tuesday episode gives kids three real moves for refilling. The four-word prayer

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 rough, halftime is not for quitting. It is for refilling. Three small ways to step into the second half

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 in honoring one another. The cabin is the perfect place to learn it.

2026/06/25

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. Whatever you drink. Whatever you do. Do it for God. The "whatever" is the part most kids miss. This

2026/06/23

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 strength is not yours. It is loaned. God hands it to you in the moment you need it. This Tuesday episode
