    May 31 | Who Is Jesus to You? | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional

    Hey Carpool Crew! Summer is finally here, and today Pastor Justin asks one of the most important questions anyone can ever answer: Who is Jesus to you? In this special summer kickoff episode, we look at a moment when Jesus asked His disciples what people were saying about Him. Everyone seemed to have an opinion. Some thought He was a prophet. Others thought He was someone else from the Bible. But Jesus wasn't interested in what everyone else thought. He asked a personal question: "Who do you say that I am?" That same question still matters today. Kids will learn that faith isn't about borrowing someone else's answer. It's about discovering who Jesus is for themselves. Whether you're spending summer with family, at camp, with friends, or just enjoying a break from school, this episode encourages listeners to spend time getting to know Jesus personally. Today's Bible Verse: Matthew 16:15 (CSB) Big Idea: You decide who Jesus is to you. What Kids Will Learn: • Why Jesus asked His disciples who they believed He was • Why everyone has to answer that question for themselves • Simple ways to grow closer to Jesus this summer • How faith becomes personal and real Summer Challenge: • Start each morning by saying, "Hi, Jesus." • Read one chapter from Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John each week. • Be ready to tell others who Jesus is to you. Family Discussion Question: Who do you say Jesus is? And how can we keep that real all summer long? 🔗 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 📰 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/Carpool-Unpacked In this Christian kids podcast episode, children explore one of the most important questions in the Bible: Who is Jesus?

Along the way, Pastor Justin gives a special shout-out to Mrs. Ramos and her class in Hawaii and challenges listeners to put these two simple commands into action all week long.

    May 29 | Stop Walking Past | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

    Hey Carpool Crew, Kids have a short list of who counts. The friends they sit with at lunch. The kids on their team. The group at recess. Everybody else gets walked past. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Luke 10:36 and the story of the Good Samaritan. The point lands different for kids than they expect. A priest walked past. A temple worker walked past. The Samaritan, who nobody thought would help, stopped. He bandaged the man on the side of the road. He put him on his own donkey. He paid for his room at the inn and told the innkeeper, "If it costs more, I'll pay when I come back." Jesus' question lands on all of us. Which one was the neighbor? This Friday episode gives kids three real moves to try this weekend. The stop-and-check move. The helpful-without-being-asked move. The "ask Jesus who I keep walking past" move. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on before the weekend kicks in. Today's One Thing: Be a neighbor to whoever is right in front of you.

    May 28 | Stop Counting, Start Forgiving | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

    Hey Carpool Crew, Most kids keep score. Not on purpose. It just happens. The sibling who keeps doing the thing that bugs them. The friend who hurt their feelings again. The kid at school who said something mean and they can still feel it days later. Each one gets added to a quiet list in their head. And the longer the list, the heavier it gets. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Matthew 18:22, where Peter walks up to Jesus and asks how many times he has to forgive somebody. Peter guesses seven. Jesus says seventy times seven. The point isn't the math. The point is stop counting. Forgiveness doesn't have a number on it. This episode gives kids three real forgiveness moves to try this week. The "Jesus, I'm letting it go" move. The one-breath move. The "I'm sorry" move. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, and a discussion question for the whole family before they jump out of the car. Today's One Thing: Stop counting, start forgiving.

    May 27 | Talking to God Anytime | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

    Hey Carpool Crew! Most kids think prayer is something fancy. Quiet church voice. Hands folded. Eyes squeezed shut extra tight. Special words they're not sure they can pull off. So a lot of kids skip it because they're not sure they're doing it right. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Luke 11:1, where Jesus' own friends asked Him, "Lord, teach us to pray." Jesus didn't hand them a complicated formula. He gave them a short, real, honest prayer we now call the Lord's Prayer. The point lands clean for kids. God is close. He's listening. You don't need fancy words to talk to Him. This episode gives kids three real prayer moves to try this week. The wake-up prayer. The middle-of-the-moment prayer. The two-sentence bedtime prayer. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on before they jump out of the car. Today's One Thing: You can talk to God any time, and He hears you.
