Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and whether you are heading to school or getting ready for the day at home, I am so glad you are here. Mondays are a fresh start, but sometimes they come with old feelings from last week. Today we are talking about second chances. Matthew 5:7 (CSB) says, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” Jesus shared these words during the Sermon on the Mount. Mercy means choosing kindness instead of payback and giving someone a second chance. Jesus teaches us that mercy is not weak. Mercy is brave. Jesus forgives us again and again, and He invites us to do the same for others. When we choose mercy, we let go of anger and move forward with kindness. So today, think about someone who hurt you last week. Instead of holding onto it, choose mercy. Say hello. Be kind. Give a second chance. Mercy does not make you weak. It makes you free. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. Parents: Snap a photo listening together, post it on Instagram, and tag @carpoolingwithjesus so we can celebrate your family. Talk about it together: Who is someone you could give a second chance to today? 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and welcome to a brand new year. A new year can feel exciting, but it can also feel like a lot of pressure. Pressure to be better, smarter, faster, or more liked. Today, Jesus reminds us of something really important. You don’t have to prove anything. Matthew 5:3 (CSB) says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.” Jesus shared these words during the Sermon on the Mount. When He talked about being “poor in spirit,” He meant people who know they need God. Kids and parents who do not have it all figured out, but trust Jesus anyway. And Jesus says those people are already blessed. You do not earn God’s love by getting good grades, making the team, or being perfect. You start your day already loved. Even when you mess up, Jesus does not walk away. Your worth is not tied to wins, losses, or mistakes. So today, do your best. Be kind. Try hard. But do not beat yourself up if things do not go perfectly. Jesus loves you before the day even begins. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. Parents: If this episode encouraged your child, consider sharing Carpooling with Jesus with another family. It could become part of their daily routine too.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today is New Year’s Eve—the very last day of the year. Before the countdown, the snacks, and staying up late, we’re talking about how to start the new year with Jesus. James 4:8 (CSB) says, “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” As a new year begins, you don’t need big resolutions or a long list of goals. What matters most is choosing one simple rhythm that helps you grow closer to Jesus. When you take a small step toward Him, He helps you keep going. That rhythm could be a short prayer each morning, reading one Bible verse a day, thanking God before bed, or encouraging one person every day. Small choices, done consistently, can make a big difference. So before you go to bed tonight, pick one simple way you want to walk closer with Jesus in the new year. Write it down. Pray about it.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re talking about faith—not faith that sees the whole road, but faith that takes one brave step and says, “Jesus, I trust You.” Proverbs 3:5–6 (CSB) reminds us to trust the Lord with all our hearts and not rely only on what we understand. King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, wrote these words. Even with all his wisdom, he knew that God sees more than we do. Following Jesus can feel like stepping into a dark room and hearing a voice say, “I’m right here. Take one step.” You may not see everything, but you can trust the One leading you. That’s what faith looks like—choosing to trust Jesus even when you feel unsure. Everyday faith shows up in small moments: telling the truth, being kind when it’s hard, forgiving someone, standing up for a friend, or trying something new. Each one is a step of faith. So this week, when something feels scary or confusing, try this simple prayer: “Jesus, I trust You.” One step of faith can change everything. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re talking about the best way to start a brand new year. Not with perfect plans or big resolutions, but with Jesus. Philippians 3:13–14 (CSB) reminds us to forget what is behind and reach forward to what is ahead. Paul wrote these words knowing firsthand that a messy past does not cancel a hopeful future. Jesus forgives, restores, and invites us to move forward. Sometimes we carry old mistakes, regrets, fear, or guilt into a new year. Jesus doesn’t want yesterday to ruin today. That doesn’t mean ignoring what went wrong. It means making things right when we can, asking for forgiveness, and trusting that God still has good plans ahead. A new year is a chance for a new direction. More kindness. More honesty. More forgiveness. More listening to Jesus. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about choosing to move forward with Him. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re starting something new. Christmas may be over on the calendar, but what Jesus gives us never runs out. James 1:17 (CSB) reminds us that every good and perfect gift comes from God. That means the good things in your life—your family, friends, and even the gifts you just opened—are all reminders of how generous God is. Unlike toys or games, God’s gifts don’t break, fade, or get old. The greatest gift God ever gave us is Jesus, and He stays with us every day, not just on Christmas. God doesn’t just want us to receive His gifts. He wants us to share them. That might look like sharing a toy, using your gifts to help someone else, giving your time, or showing kindness in a simple way. So today’s challenge is this: use one of your Christmas gifts to bless someone else. When you share what God has given you, joy grows and you look more like Jesus. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. Talk about it together: How can you share what God has given you with someone else? 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

Hey Carpool Crew… Merry Christmas! I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re celebrating the best news the world has ever heard: Jesus is here. Luke 2:15 (CSB) tells us that when the angels announced Jesus’ birth, the first people invited to see Him were shepherds—regular, hardworking people. They weren’t famous or important by the world’s standards, but God chose them first to show us something powerful: Jesus came for everyone. The shepherds didn’t wait or make excuses. They hurried to Bethlehem because they wanted to see Jesus for themselves. God didn’t stay far away or too busy—He showed up. He came close, right into our world, right into our lives. That’s what Christmas is all about. Jesus is not just a story or a tradition. He is real, and He is here—now and always. So here’s today’s simple Christmas challenge: every time you notice something good today, say, “Thank you, Jesus.”When you open a gift. When you laugh with your family. When you feel loved. All good things point back to Him. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. Parents: Merry Christmas to you. Thank you for all the love, care, and effort you pour into your kids. It matters more than you know. Talk about it together: What’s one thing you want to thank Jesus for this Christmas? I’ll see you tomorrow on Carpooling with Jesus. 🍏 Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://apple.co/4gUygJo⁠ 🎧 Spotify: ⁠https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus⁠ ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: ⁠https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe⁠ 📱 Instagram: ⁠https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ⁠ 🚗 Facebook Community: ⁠https://bit.ly/CPWJFB⁠ This Christmas Day episode of Carpooling with Jesus helps kids celebrate the birth of Jesus through Luke 2:15.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re wrapping up our Advent week on love—and it’s a big day. It’s Christmas Eve, and we’re talking about the moment love arrived. Matthew 1:23 (CSB) says, “They will name him Emmanuel,” which means God is with us. Before the manger, before the shepherds, before the star, God made a promise. Hundreds of years earlier, He said a child would come—and that child would show us that God didn’t stay far away. He came close. Jesus didn’t arrive as a king in a palace. He came as a baby—small, gentle, and reachable. That’s how God showed His love. Not distant. Not loud. Personal and near. Jesus understands hard days, fear, loneliness, and growing up—because He lived it too. When you feel scared or alone, He is with you. Just like when someone sits beside you when you’re upset—that comfort is what Emmanuel feels like. So today’s challenge is simple: be with someone else, just like Jesus is with you. Sit with someone who feels alone. Help without being asked. Say, “I’m here for you.” Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. Parents: Thank you for all the ways you make Christmas meaningful for your kids—the love, the time, the care. It matters more than you know. Talk about it together: What does it mean to you that Jesus is with you, no matter what?

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re continuing our Advent journey toward Christmas by learning more about God’s love—and it starts in a surprising place: a manger. Luke 2:6–7 (CSB) tells us that when Jesus was born, He wasn’t placed in a palace or a fancy bed. He was laid in a manger—a feeding trough for animals. God chose a humble beginning to show us something powerful: His love is for everyone. Jesus didn’t come in comfort or luxury. He came close. His love moves toward people who feel left out, overlooked, or forgotten. From the very beginning, Jesus showed that everyone matters to God. So today, look for someone who might feel alone. Include them. Help them. Say something kind. Small acts of love can show others just how much God cares. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re talking about how you can find joy in quiet moments—even when things feel slow or a little boring. Zephaniah 3:17 (CSB) tells us something incredible: God is with you, He saves you, He delights in you, and He is quiet in His love. That means God doesn’t only show up in loud or exciting moments. Sometimes His joy meets us best when everything is calm and still. Quiet moments can feel uncomfortable at first, but they can also become special places where God reminds you that you are loved, safe, and never alone. Joy doesn’t always need noise. Sometimes it grows in peace. So today, don’t rush through the quiet. Slow down. Take a breath. Let God’s quiet love fill your heart with joy. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here! Fridays feel great because the weekend is almost here—but today we’re talking about a joy that’s even stronger than Friday joy: the joy that comes from remembering God’s promises. Joshua 21:45 (CSB) says, “None of the good promises the Lord had made… failed. Everything was fulfilled.” God’s people went through years of waiting, wandering, and battles—but when they finally looked back, they realized something amazing: God kept every single promise. Not some. Not most. All of them. That’s why God’s promises bring real joy. When you remember what God has done, you can trust what He will do next. Even when life feels stressful or uncertain, God’s promises are steady and strong. So today, think of one promise from God. Say it out loud. Share it with a parent or a friend. And trust that God will keep working in your life. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Hey Carpool Crew… Happy Thursday! Today we’re talking about how choosing gratitude leads to joy—even when your week feels long or a little hard. 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (CSB) reminds us to rejoice always, pray constantly, and give thanks in everything. Paul wrote this to people who were facing real challenges, and he reminded them that gratitude isn’t about pretending things are perfect—it’s about remembering that God is still good. Gratitude is like a switch. When you choose it, joy lights up. Even on tough days, God helps you notice the good—small blessings, kind moments, and reminders that He is close. So today, try this: name three things you’re thankful for. Then thank God for being near—because He always is. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Hey Carpool Crew… Happy Wednesday! I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here as we continue our Advent journey toward Christmas. Today we’re talking about the joy that comes from God’s good news. Isaiah 52:7 (CSB) reminds us how beautiful it is when someone brings good news—peace, salvation, and hope. Isaiah wrote this hundreds of years before Jesus was born, but the message was clear: God hasn’t forgotten His people. A Savior is coming. That’s why the good news of Jesus still brings joy today. When you remember that Jesus loves you, forgives you, and is always near—joy follows. And just like good news changes your day, God’s good news can change your heart. So today, look for one way to pass that joy along—encourage a friend, help a sibling, or give someone a kind word. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Hey Carpool Crew… Happy Tuesday! I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here as we continue our Advent journey toward Christmas. Today we’re talking about a joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances. Habakkuk 3:17–18 (CSB) reminds us that even when everything goes wrong, we can still rejoice in God. Habakkuk lived in a really hard time, but he chose joy—not because life was easy, but because God was still good. That’s the kind of joy Jesus gives us. It doesn’t disappear on hard days. It stays because Jesus stays with you. Even when life feels stressful or confusing, His joy can still shine through. So today, tell Jesus what’s on your heart. Look for one good thing. And remember—joy comes from Jesus, not your circumstances. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Hey Carpool Crew… Happy Monday! I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here as we keep moving through Advent toward Christmas. Today we’re talking about joy—the kind that stays with you because it comes from Jesus. John 15:11 (CSB) says, “I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.” Jesus didn’t say, “Go find joy.” He said, “I’m giving you My joy.” This joy doesn’t disappear on hard Mondays, rough mornings, or stressful school days. It stays because it comes from Jesus. So today, ask Jesus for His joy. Look for one good thing. Smile. Encourage someone. Let His joy be with you all day.

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re learning that Jesus gives us peace when we feel nervous, scared, or unsure. In John 14:27, Jesus tells His friends, “My peace I give you… Don’t let your heart be troubled or fearful.” Even though His disciples didn’t know what was coming next, Jesus wanted them to know they would never face anything alone. This episode helps kids understand that Jesus’ peace is stronger than fear. Whether it’s talking in front of the class, going somewhere new, sleeping in the dark, or facing something that feels “too big,” Jesus is right there with them. His peace helps calm their hearts, steady their thoughts, and remind them they’re never on their own. Kids will learn to pray when they feel scared, take a deep breath, and talk to someone they trust. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re learning what it means to actually make peace—not just enjoy it. In Matthew 5:9, Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” reminding us that kids who choose kindness instead of arguing, calm instead of drama, and gentleness instead of snapping back are showing the world what God is like. This episode teaches kids that being a peacemaker doesn’t mean ignoring problems or pretending everything is fine. It means handling tough moments the way Jesus would—by pausing before reacting, using kind words even when frustrated, and helping others cool down or make things right. Peacemakers aren’t weak… they’re strong, thoughtful, and brave enough to bring calm wherever they go. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re learning why the angels announced “peace on earth” the night Jesus was born. Luke 2:14 tells us that the angels didn’t bring this message to kings or famous people—they shared it with ordinary shepherds, showing that God’s peace is for everybody. Kids who feel confident and kids who feel shy. Kids with big friend groups and kids who sit alone sometimes. Families that seem put together and families that feel a little messy. Jesus came for all of us. This episode encourages kids to look around and notice who might be left out, standing alone, or hoping someone would include them. When children invite others in—into a game, a seat at lunch, or a conversation—they help show the world what God’s peace really looks like. God’s peace isn’t small or limited. It’s big enough for everyone they’ll ever meet. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re learning how Jesus gives us peace when we feel worried, stressed, or nervous. Philippians 4:6–7 reminds us that instead of holding all our worries inside, we can pray and ask God for help. And when we do, His peace protects our hearts and minds even when life feels messy or loud. This episode helps kids understand that peace isn’t just a quiet room—peace is knowing Jesus is with you in every hard moment. Whether it’s a test, a game, a big conversation, or something stressful at home, Jesus gives us confidence and calm strength.

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re learning about how Jesus brings peace even when life feels loud, stressful, or out of control. In Mark 4:39, Jesus stood up in the middle of a huge storm and said, “Peace. Be still.” And everything went quiet. The waves stopped. The wind calmed. The storm ended—just because Jesus spoke. This episode reminds kids that the same Jesus who calmed the wind and waves can calm our hearts too. Even when school is stressful, plans fall apart, friends argue, or things feel messy at home, Jesus is right there. When we pause, breathe, and ask Him for peace, He can settle our hearts even if the situation hasn’t changed yet. His peace is real, and it works in the middle of the storm. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re finishing our first full week of Advent by talking about something really important—hope has a name, and His name is Jesus. In Matthew 1:21, the angel tells Joseph to name the baby Jesus because “He will save His people from their sins.” The name Jesus literally means “The Lord saves.” This episode reminds kids and families that hope isn’t just a nice thought or a wish—it’s a person. When we say “Jesus,” we are saying that God saves, God keeps His promises, and God is close. If you ever feel nervous, unsure, or alone, whispering His name reminds you that He’s right there with you. Jesus is the steady, certain hope we can trust every day. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re learning about God’s perfect timing. Galatians 4:4–5 reminds us that Jesus was born at the exact right moment in history—every detail prepared by God. And the same is true in your life. Even when waiting feels slow, confusing, or frustrating, God is never late. He’s always working, preparing, and lining things up in ways we can’t see yet. This episode encourages kids and families to trust God’s timeline, stay patient, and remember that waiting doesn’t mean God has forgotten—waiting often means God is getting things ready. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families
