    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 actually happens. That isn't bad news. That's good news.   This Tuesday episode gives kids three change-of-plan moves they can try this week. The take-a-breath move. The find-the-new-good move. The whisper prayer move. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on right before everyone heads in.   Today's One Thing: Your plans can change, but God's are still on track.   Scripture: Proverbs 16:9 (CSB)   APPLE PODCASTS * Apple Channel: https://apple.co/4gUygJo * Carpooling with Jesus: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO * Goodnight Psalms: https://apple.co/4nPQBJy * Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: https://apple.co/42UWrBm   SPOTIFY * Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe * Spotify Plus (all shows + bonus content): https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus   CARPOOLING WITH JESUS COMMUNITY * Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB * YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ * Instagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-insta   GET INVOLVED * Request Free Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickers * Book a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutout * Submit a Question from the Backseat: https://bit.ly/4bgCQir   Christian podcast for kids about changed plans, helping kids trust God when things change, Proverbs 16:9 for kids, kid summer vacation devotional, road trip changed plans, raising flexible kids, Christian parenting podcast, daily devotional for elementary families, Faith on the Road series, family vacation Bible verses, Carpooling with Jesus.

    June 15 | The Long Drive Patience Test | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

    Hey Carpool Crew,   Summer means long drives. And long drives mean kid meltdowns somewhere around hour three. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin kicks off a brand-new Faith on the Road mini-series. He walks kids through James 1:4, where Scripture says endurance gets built in stuck moments, not easy ones.

The three-things move. The help-your-sibling move. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on right before the trip starts.   Today's One Thing: Patience grows at hour three when you're trying not to lose it.   Scripture: James 1:4 (CSB)   APPLE PODCASTS * Apple Channel: https://apple.co/4gUygJo * Carpooling with Jesus: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO * Goodnight Psalms: https://apple.co/4nPQBJy * Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: https://apple.co/42UWrBm   SPOTIFY * Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe * Spotify Plus (all shows + bonus content): https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus   CARPOOLING WITH JESUS COMMUNITY * Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB * YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ * Instagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-insta   GET INVOLVED * Request Free Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickers * Book a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutout * Submit a Question from the Backseat: https://bit.ly/4bgCQir   Christian podcast for kids about patience, teaching kids endurance, James 1:4 for kids, road trip devotional, family road trip faith content, summer travel devotional for kids, raising kids of faith, family devotional for elementary kids, Faith on the Road series, Christian parenting podcast, daily devotional for families, Carpooling with Jesus.

    June 14 | The Backyard Prayer | Devotional for kids Carpooling with Jesus

    Hey Carpool Crew, Your kid already has a spot. The corner of the backyard. The top of the treehouse. The patch of grass behind the bushes. The roof outside the bedroom window. The place they walk to when they just need to be alone for a minute. Most kids use that spot for everything except talking to God. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Matthew 6:6, where Jesus tells His followers prayer doesn't need a stage or an audience. It needs a quiet spot and an honest heart. The spot your kid already goes to be alone is one of God's favorite places to meet them.

    June 13 | Forgiving a Friend | Devotional for kids Carpooling with Jesus

    Hey Carpool Crew, Kids carry friend hurts longer than we realize. The joke in front of the neighborhood kids. The whisper they pretend not to hear. The slight nobody else saw. They replay it in their head when the AC kicks on at night. And they think holding onto it is somehow protecting them. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Colossians 3:13, where Paul reminds Christians to forgive each other the same way the Lord has forgiven them. Forgiving the friend is not just for the friend's sake. It's for the one carrying the weight. This Saturday episode gives kids three forgiveness moves to try this week. The God-first move. The reset move. The drop-it move. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, and a discussion question to land on together. Today's One Thing: Forgiveness lifts the weight off your chest, not just theirs.

    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 directly. It is more blessed to give than to receive. This Friday episode gives kids three sharing moves to try this weekend. The instinct yes. The offer-before-they-ask move. The use it up move. About six minutes long, kid-friendly, and a discussion question to land on right before everyone heads into the weekend. Today's One Thing: Letting someone borrow your stuff costs nothing and gives a lot.

    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. Standing up does not have to be loud. It just has to be honest. This episode gives kids three real moves they can use this week. The four words that stop it. The move-and-sit. The tell a grown-up. About six minutes long, kid-friendly, and a discussion question to land before they head into the day. Today's One Thing: Sometimes loving like Jesus means speaking up when others stay silent. Scripture: Proverbs 31:8 (CSB) What should you do when a new kid shows up this summer? In today's episode, Pastor Justin shares a powerful lesson from Hebrews 13:2 about hospitality, which is a fancy word for making people feel welcome and helping them belong. Whether it's a new kid at church, summer camp, the neighborhood pool, or riding a bike down your street, God gives us opportunities every day to notice people who might feel left out. Jesus welcomed people everywhere He went, and He invites us to do the same. Sometimes it only takes a smile, a wave, or four simple words: "Hey, want to hang out?" Those small acts of kindness can make a huge difference in someone's day. Kids will learn practical ways to welcome new friends, step outside their comfort zones, and show the kind of love that Jesus shows us every day. They'll also be reminded to involve their parents when meeting new kids and building new friendships. Today's big idea: Welcoming a new kid is doing something Jesus does for you every day. This episode is perfect for families looking to teach kindness, friendship, inclusion, hospitality, and Christian character during the summer months. https://carpoolingwithjesus.com Listen & Subscribe Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo Carpooling with Jesus: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO Goodnight Psalms: https://apple.co/4nPQBJy Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: https://apple.co/42UWrBm Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe Spotify Plus: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ Instagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-insta TikTok: https://bit.ly/TikTokCarpoooling Free Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickers Book a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutout Submit a Question: https://bit.ly/4bgCQir Carpooling with Jesus is a Christian kids podcast that helps families grow in faith through fun, practical Bible lessons.
