    Joseph Ep1 | 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. Joseph is seventeen, the favorite son in a complicated family, and God gives him a dream that nobody around him is ready to hear. The reaction is fast and brutal. By the end of Genesis 37, Joseph is sold by his own brothers and headed to Egypt. The dream God gave him is still alive. The people closest to him are not.   For parents listening with your kids: this episode is a doorway into a real conversation about what to do when the people in your child's life don't celebrate what God is doing in them. We name the pain honestly and we anchor it in who God says they are.   Today's One Thing: Sometimes the people closest to you won't understand what God is doing in your life. Stay rooted in who God says you are.   Scripture: Genesis 37:5 (CSB)   The arc: * Episode 1: When People Don't Get You (Backstory) * Episode 2: When You're Far From Home (Slavery and Potiphar's house) * Episode 3: Faithful in the Hard Place (False accusation and prison) * Episode 4: When God Lifts You Up (Pharaoh and elevation) * Episode 5: The Forgiveness That Saves a Family (Reunion and legacy)   CarpoolingiwthJesus.com   Get involved with the Carpool Crew: follow @carpoolingwithjesus and tell us which Bible hero you want us to cover next.

    Joseph Ep 2 | When You're Far From Home | Episode 2 of 5 | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible

    Hey Carpool Crew! Episode 2 of our five-episode journey through Joseph. Joseph arrives in Egypt as a slave in the house of Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh's guard. Everything has changed. The country, the language, the gods, the food, the future. And the very first thing Genesis 39 tells us is that the Lord was with Joseph. We unpack what those five words actually mean for a kid who feels like the whole world around them just shifted. Parents, this episode is built for the season your kid is in when everything looks different. Use it to start a conversation about what it looks like to trust God in a chapter you didn't pick. Today's One Thing: When everything around you changes, God doesn't move with the move. Scripture: Genesis 39:2 (CSB) The arc: * Episode 1: When People Don't Get You (Backstory) * Episode 2: When You're Far From Home (Slavery and Potiphar's house) * Episode 3: Faithful in the Hard Place (False accusation and prison) * Episode 4: When God Lifts You Up (Pharaoh and elevation) * Episode 5: The Forgiveness That Saves a Family (Reunion and legacy) ⁠CarpoolingwithJesus.com⁠

    Joseph Ep 3 | Faithful in the Hard Place | Episode 3 of 5 | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible

    Hey Carpool Crew! Episode 3 of our five-episode Joseph arc. Joseph does everything right and ends up in prison anyway. We walk carefully through the moment Potiphar's wife lies about him, and we watch Joseph land in an Egyptian dungeon for staying faithful to God. This episode answers a question every kid eventually asks: why does doing the right thing sometimes cost you? And what is God up to when the hard room shows up? Today's One Thing: God uses the worst rooms to do some of His best work. Scripture: Genesis 39:21 (CSB) Parents, this episode handles the Potiphar's wife scene with care. We name the truth without graphic detail. It's the perfect doorway into a conversation about why faithfulness can cost something in the short term and still be the right call. The arc: * Episode 1: When People Don't Get You (Backstory) * Episode 2: When You're Far From Home (Slavery and Potiphar's house) * Episode 3: Faithful in the Hard Place (False accusation and prison) * Episode 4: When God Lifts You Up (Pharaoh and elevation) * Episode 5: The Forgiveness That Saves a Family (Reunion and legacy) ⁠CarpoolingwithJesus.com⁠

    Joseph - When God Lifts You Up | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible Episode 4 of our five-episode Joseph arc. Joseph spends thirteen years between his dream and his elevation.

We walk through the cupbearer who forgot him, the two extra years of waiting, and the moment Pharaoh's dream finally cracked Joseph's prison wide open. The point of the episode is simple: God's pace is not your pace, and God's lifting up is never late. Today's One Thing: God's promotions come at God's pace, not yours. Scripture: Genesis 41:39-40 (CSB) The arc: * Episode 1: When People Don't Get You (Backstory) * Episode 2: When You're Far From Home (Slavery and Potiphar's house) * Episode 3: Faithful in the Hard Place (False accusation and prison) * Episode 4: When God Lifts You Up (Pharaoh and elevation) * Episode 5: The Forgiveness That Saves a Family (Reunion and legacy) CarpoolingwithJesus.com

    Rahab Ep 1 | God Saw Rahab | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible

    Hey Carpool Crew! Who was Rahab, and why would God choose her to play such an important role in one of the Bible's most incredible stories? In Episode 1 of our five-part series on Rahab the Brave Believer, we travel to the ancient city of Jericho, one of the oldest fortified cities in the world. As Joshua prepares the Israelites to enter the Promised Land, two spies are sent into the city and find themselves at the home of an unexpected woman named Rahab. At first glance, Rahab seems like the last person anyone would expect God to use. She lived on the edge of society, carried a difficult reputation, and wasn't part of God's chosen people. Yet God saw something deeper. Join Pastor Justin as we discover how God often chooses people the world overlooks and why Rahab's story is still encouraging kids and families thousands of years later. Kids will learn: • Who Rahab was and where she lived • Why Jericho was such an important city • Why the Israelite spies came to Rahab's house • How God sees people differently than the world does • Why no one is invisible to God Key Scriptures: Joshua 2:1-3 1 Samuel 16:7 Discussion Questions: Has there ever been a time you felt overlooked? What would change about your day tomorrow if you really believed God sees you right where you are? Rahab's story begins with a powerful reminder: God sees people others ignore. While the world often focuses on popularity, success, appearance, or status, God looks at the heart. The same God who saw Rahab in Jericho sees you today. This episode helps kids understand that they are known, valued, and loved by God, regardless of their mistakes, circumstances, or what others think about them.   ⁠https://carpoolingwithjesus.com⁠   In this Christian kids podcast episode, children and families will learn about Rahab, the city of Jericho, Joshua and the Promised Land, Bible heroes, God's love for outsiders, and how God sees the heart. This Bible story for kids teaches that God notices people others overlook and that He can use anyone for His purposes.

Along the way, we'll learn about ancient Jericho, the surprising significance of flax on Rahab's rooftop, and why faith is more than simply believing something is true. Kids will learn: • Why Rahab chose to hide the Israelite spies• What made her decision so dangerous• How stories about God's power reached Jericho• Why Rahab believed when others did not• What it means to put faith into action Key Scriptures:Joshua 2:1-14James 2:25-26 Discussion Questions: When was the last time your faith actually cost you something, big or small? What is one brave thing you can do this week because you believe God is who He says He is? Rahab heard the same stories everyone else in Jericho heard. The difference was that she believed them. Her faith wasn't just something she thought about. It changed how she acted. Even when it was dangerous. Even when it was costly.

    Rahab Ep 3 | The Scarlet Cord and God's Promise | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible

    Hey Carpool Crew! Why did Rahab hang a scarlet cord in her window? In Episode 3 of our Rahab series, we explore one of the most powerful symbols in the entire Bible. After risking her life to protect the Israelite spies, Rahab asks for a promise: that she and her family will be spared when Jericho falls. The spies agree and give her a simple instruction. Tie a scarlet cord in the window. But this red rope becomes much more than a marker on a house. It points to a much bigger story that stretches from the walls of Jericho all the way to Jesus. Join Pastor Justin as we discover the meaning of the scarlet cord, its connection to Passover, and why Rahab's faith makes her one of the clearest pictures of God's rescue plan in the Old Testament. Kids will learn: • Why Rahab asked the spies for a promise• What the scarlet cord represented• How the story connects to the Passover in Exodus• Why God keeps His promises• How faith and trust in God bring hope and rescue Key Scriptures:Joshua 2:12-21Exodus 12:13 Discussion Questions: Where in your life right now do you need to remember that God keeps His promises? What is one thing you have been worried about that you can hand back over to God today? Rahab's story reminds us that God notices faith. He sees those who trust Him, remembers His promises, and provides rescue in ways we could never imagine. The scarlet cord hanging from Rahab's window became a sign of hope, protection, and God's faithfulness. This episode helps kids understand that God's rescue plan has always been about faith and trust, and that His promises remain true no matter what challenges we face. https://carpoolingwithjesus.com In this Christian kids podcast episode, children and families will learn about Rahab and the scarlet cord, the Israelite spies, God's promises, the Passover, faith in the Old Testament, biblical archaeology, and how God's rescue plan points to Jesus.
