Carpooling with Jesus | Bible Stories for Kids Devotionals Daily Devotional for Kids Daily Christian Kids Devotional

What’s better than your favorite drink, your strongest muscles, or even a protein bar? According to the Bible—it’s joy. Real strength comes from the joy of the Lord, and today we’re diving into what that really means. In Nehemiah 8:10, God’s people had just rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem and were hearing His Word after years of being far from Him. They felt emotional, guilty, overwhelmed—but Nehemiah and Ezra reminded them not to stay sad. Why? Because God’s joy is what gives us true strength. Today’s episode reminds kids: Joy doesn’t depend on what’s happening—it depends on who God is. You don’t have to fake a smile to have real strength. Jesus gives us joy that helps us stay kind, hopeful, and strong even when life is hard. 🚗 Whether you’re riding home after a long day or curled up on the couch with a Popsicle, Pastor Justin is here to help you tap into a joy that never runs out. 🧠 Bottom Line: Joy isn’t the same as happiness. It’s deeper—and it comes from knowing Jesus is always with you. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Action Step: Text a friend the link to this episode or drop it in a Facebook group to help other families discover joy with Jesus too. 💬 Family Discussion Question: What’s one way you can choose God’s joy the next time you're having a tough day? 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 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.

Today’s story is one of Jesus’s most snack-filled miracles—and it all starts with a kid and his lunchbox. Just five loaves. Two fish. And somehow… thousands of people are fed. In John 6:9, we meet a boy who offers up his small lunch. And Jesus? He doesn’t say, “That’s not enough.” He says, “That’ll do.” He blesses it, breaks it, and feeds everyone. With leftovers! Today’s episode helps kids discover: That Jesus loves using small things in big ways Why you’re never too young to make a difference What it means to give your time, talents, and faith—even if they feel tiny 🚗 Whether you’re hanging under a beach umbrella or munching trail mix in the backseat, this story will remind you: God multiplies what we surrender. 🧠 Bottom Line: Jesus can do big things with small offerings—so give Him what you’ve got. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Action Step: Share this episode with a parent friend and talk as a family about one small way you can serve someone this week—just like the boy with the lunchbox. 💬 Family Discussion Question: What’s one small thing you could offer to Jesus today—and how do you think He might use it? 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 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.

Today’s episode is all about... ants. Yep, those tiny little bugs crawling around your sidewalk. But did you know God says we can actually learn from them? In Proverbs 6:6, King Solomon—the wisest man who ever lived—calls out laziness and tells us to watch how ants work. Why? Because they hustle with purpose, plan ahead, and get the job done even when no one's watching. Solomon drops some serious wisdom in this short verse, and we’re breaking it down just for you. Jesus often used nature to teach, and ants? They totally fit. Today’s devotional will challenge kids to: Spot the difference between rest and laziness Use their time, energy, and gifts for good Work with intention—just like ants 🚗 Whether you're chilling at the park, sipping a slushie, or cleaning your room (ant-style), Pastor Justin is here to help you follow Jesus in the small things that matter. 🧠 Bottom Line: You don’t have to be big to be wise—you just have to move with purpose. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Action Step: Pick one “Ant Hour” this week—an hour of focused work as a family.

Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.” 📍 In this high-energy story from the Gospel of Mark: Jesus is preaching in a packed house in Capernaum Four faith-filled friends refuse to let the crowd stop them They dig through the roof and lower their paralyzed friend down Jesus is so moved by their faith, He heals their friend—body and soul 🙌 Takeaway Truth: Real friends do whatever it takes to get each other closer to Jesus. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Action Step: Tag a parent or kids’ pastor in the comments, or share this episode with someone who needs a reminder about the power of faithful friendship. 💪 🗣️ Today’s Discussion Question: Who are your “roof friends”—the people who help bring you closer to Jesus? 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 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! Whether you're crashing in the backseat after soccer or helping dad haul in groceries, today’s story is weird, funny, and packed with truth. Imagine getting bread from heaven every day—literally baked by God—and still whining about onions. 🍞🧅 Yep, it happened. Our verse of the day is Numbers 11:5–6 (CSB): “We remember the free fish we ate in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic. But now our appetite is gone; there’s nothing to look at but this manna!” God had just rescued His people from Egypt with Red Sea-splitting, sky-guiding, miracle-level power—and now He’s feeding them with manna from the sky. But instead of praising Him, they start complaining… about vegetables. 📍In this episode, kids will learn: What manna really was (miracle bread from God!) Why grumbling makes us miss God’s goodness That Jesus wants us to see the miracles happening now, not just wish for the past How to trade complaints for gratitude—every single day 🙌 Takeaway Truth: Don’t miss the miracle because you’re craving onions. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Action Step: Snap a photo of where you’re listening and tag us on Instagram @carpoolingwithJesus!

Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you’re swinging from monkey bars or riding home with sand in your shoes, Pastor Justin is back with an epic Bible story that kids won’t forget. Today, we’re talking about Zacchaeus, the man who climbed a tree just to see Jesus! Our verse of the day is Luke 19:4 (CSB) “So running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus, since he was about to pass that way.” Zacchaeus lived in Jericho, had lots of money—but no real friends. Why? Because he stole from people! But when he heard Jesus was coming, he ran and climbed a tree to get a glimpse. What happened next? Jesus saw him, called him by name, and chose to spend time with him—just as he was. 📍 In this episode, kids will learn: Why Zacchaeus climbed the tree and what it showed about his heart That Jesus sees you—you don’t have to climb higher or try harder How to take bold steps toward Jesus How to make things right, just like Zacchaeus did How to be a friend to someone who feels left out ⏱️ Plus, we’ve got a fun challenge: If you climb a tree this week, think about how Jesus already sees you and loves you—no climbing required! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Action Step: Share this episode with another parent or post it in a Facebook group.

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re snacking in the backseat or helping mom push the cart at the store, today’s episode is all about something powerful — God-level kindness. We’re diving into Proverbs 19:17 — “Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord, and He will give a reward to the lender.” (CSB) This isn’t just “be nice because you’re told to.” This is deep, heart-first kindness — the kind God sees, honors, and loves. Inside today’s episode, you’ll learn: What Proverbs teaches about helping others in need How God views acts of kindness as gifts to Him Why Jesus said “whatever you did for the least of these, you did for Me” Practical ways kids can show kindness right now — at home, at camp, or in the neighborhood 💬 Big Question to Talk About Together: Who is someone in your life who might need extra kindness right now? 🎯 Parent Challenge: Brainstorm one way your family can serve someone this week.

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you're heading to summer camp or chilling while your Xbox warms up, today's episode is packed with purpose. We’re looking at Mark 10:45 — “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (CSB) That one sentence from Jesus changes everything. Back in His day, kings were treated like royalty (literally!). But Jesus flipped it upside down: the greatest one is the one who serves.

🚗 Father’s Day Special — Carpooling with Jesus Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you're in the car, eating cereal at the kitchen table, or riding your scooter down the sidewalk—this Father’s Day episode is just for you. 🦸 It’s time to play: REAL DAD or SUPERHERO? Spoiler alert: While dads don’t wear capes or shoot webs, they love, protect, and lead in powerful ways that reflect the heart of God. Today, we’re looking at Jesus’ earthly dad, Joseph, and what made him the kind of father God chose for His Son. Joseph didn’t have fame or superpowers—but he had courage, obedience, and grit. Through him, and through His Heavenly Father, Jesus learned what it means to love with strength and serve with heart. 📖 Key Verses: Matthew 1:20–24 — Joseph listens to God’s voice Matthew 2:13–15 — Joseph protects his family John 5:19 — Jesus follows the Father’s example Psalm 68:5 — God is a Father to the fatherless 💡 Big Lesson: Great dads show us a glimpse of what God is like—loving, present, and kind. And even if your dad isn’t around or doesn't get it right, your Heavenly Father always does. 👟 Action Steps for Kids: Say thank you to your dad or a dad-like person Pray for them to have strength and wisdom Forgive when they mess up Spend time with them—it’s the best gift 🎙️ Story Moment: Imagine Jesus as a kid, hammer in hand, missing the nail—and Joseph saying, “Good job, son. Keep trying. I’m proud of you.” That’s the kind of love every kid needs. And that’s how God sees you. 💬 Discussion Question: What’s something your dad—or a dad-like person—has done that made you feel really loved or special? 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 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

Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re busting a myth you’ve probably heard before — that Friday the 13th is unlucky. From black cats to ladder superstitions, people have all kinds of weird fears… but guess what? That’s not how God works. 📖 Key Verse: “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 🛑 Big Idea: God doesn’t deal in luck. He deals in truth, love, and power. So whether it’s Friday the 13th or any other day, we don’t have to be afraid. 🧭 In this episode: The strange history of why people fear Friday the 13th Why the Bible says fear doesn’t come from God 3 ways to live boldly and peacefully today — even when the world says “be afraid” 🧠 Practical Takeaways for Kids: Replace fear with prayer Encourage a friend who’s nervous Celebrate the day God made (Psalm 118:24) 📣 Family Discussion Question: What’s something that used to make you nervous or scared — and how has God helped you see it differently? 💬 Parents: If you enjoyed this podcast, share it with a friend, a kid’s ministry leader, or your church this weekend.

Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re talking about a true story from the Bible that’s both surprising and unforgettable — a boy named Eutychus literally fell asleep during a late-night sermon… and fell out of a third-story window. 😴💥 📖 Key Verse: “And a young man named Eutychus... sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.” — Acts 20:9 But don’t worry — the story doesn’t end there.

Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re diving into one of the strangest and funniest stories in the whole Bible — and yes, it involves a real talking donkey (no Shrek here). 😄 📖 Key Verse: “Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth…” — Numbers 22:28 Balaam thought he was on a simple trip, chasing a reward. But God had a different plan — and when Balaam wouldn’t listen, even his donkey had to speak up. 🚨 Main Point: God can speak through anything — even a donkey. So don’t tune out the surprising moments.

Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re diving into one of the most unexpected and hilarious moments in the Bible… until it’s not so funny anymore. It’s the story of Elisha, a group of mean kids, and a reminder that words stick. 📍 Whether you’re headed to camp, cooling off by the pool, or chilling with a cereal bowl at home, today’s episode reminds us that even jokes can leave a mark—and Jesus wants our hearts and words to be full of love and respect. 🗣 Key Verse: “Some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, ‘Get up, baldy!’” — 2 Kings 2:23 👊 Big Idea: Kind words show a strong heart.

Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re diving into one of the most surprising post-resurrection miracles Jesus ever did — and yes, it involves fishing! 🎣 When the disciples didn’t know what to do, they went back to what they knew: fishing. But after a long night of catching nothing, Jesus showed up on the shore with some unexpected help — and a miraculous catch of 153 large fish. 📖 Verse of the Day: John 21:11 — “So Simon Peter climbed up and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish—153 of them. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.” 🔑 Big Idea: When things aren’t working, don’t quit — try again with Jesus. 👟 We talk about: Why the disciples went back to fishing How Jesus helped them in an unexpected way What it means to "cast again" in your own life A summer story about skipping rocks and learning to listen Whether you're finishing a weekend at the lake, hanging at home, or just riding along with your fishing hat still on, this episode reminds us that even when we feel like giving up, Jesus knows just what we need. 📝 Family Question: What's something that hasn’t been working for you lately — and what’s one new way you can try again with Jesus this week? 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 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

In today’s episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin dives into the part of Noah’s story that comes after the storm — the rainbow. 🌈 After 40 days of nonstop rain, Noah and his family step off the ark into a brand-new world.

In today’s Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin takes us into one of the most unforgettable moments from Noah’s story—when the animals came two by two into the ark (Genesis 7:9). But guess what? Noah didn’t go on a safari hunt. God brought the animals to him, and Noah was simply ready. With a funny childhood story about his first goldfish, Captain Bubbles, Pastor Justin helps kids understand what it means to be responsible and faithful—whether you're caring for a pet, cleaning your room, or helping your siblings (even when they steal your snacks). 📖 Bible Verse of the Day: “Two of each, male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, just as God had commanded Noah.” – Genesis 7:9 (CSB) 💡 Big Idea: When we do our part, God does His. Faithfulness starts small—and matters big. 🚗 Carpool Challenge: Ask each other, “What’s one small thing God has given you to take care of this week?” Then go do it… like Noah did—ready, faithful, and with a great attitude! ⭐ Parents: If this episode encouraged your family, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Just obedience. 🚗 Whether you're on a road trip, chilling in the backyard, or sipping a milkshake, Pastor Justin is here with a reminder: Doing the right thing might feel weird or hard, but it’s always worth it — just like Noah proved. ✝️ And guess what?

Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you're headed to school, finishing breakfast, or stuck in traffic, Pastor Justin is here to tackle another big question someone asked Jesus—this time, it wasn’t a kind one. In John 8, religious leaders tried to trap Jesus by asking Him, “Who do you think you are?” But Jesus didn’t back down. He told the truth—even when people didn’t like it. He said, “Before Abraham was born, I am.” That wasn’t just bold—it was Him declaring He really is God’s Son. In today’s episode, we’ll talk about what it means to trust Jesus when others doubt Him, how to stand strong in your faith, and what to say when people ask tough questions. You’ll also hear a story about Maya, a girl who stayed calm and confident when someone at school questioned her belief in Jesus. 💡 Big Idea for Kids: Jesus is God’s Son—and we can trust Him. 💬 Car Conversation Starter: What would you say if someone asked, “Who is Jesus to you?” 🎯 Faith in Action: When someone questions your faith, you can respond with love, confidence, and truth—just like Jesus did. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Note: Loving the podcast?

Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you’re heading to school, chilling at home, or running errands with your family, Pastor Justin is here with another big question someone asked Jesus—this time, from someone really important: John the Baptist. Even though John baptized Jesus and told everyone the Savior was coming, he still had a moment of doubt when things got hard. From prison, he asked Jesus, “Are you really the one?” And guess what? Jesus didn’t get mad. He gave proof. He reminded John—and all of us—why we can trust Him: the blind see, the dead are raised, and good news is being shared. This episode reminds kids that even strong believers can have doubts—but Jesus is still the Savior we’ve been waiting for. 💡 Big Idea for Kids: Jesus is the Savior we’ve been waiting for—even when we doubt. 💬 Car Conversation Starter: What helps me remember that Jesus is real and loves me—even when I have doubts? 🎯 Faith in Action: If you’re going through a tough time, talk to someone you trust. And ask Jesus to remind you He’s near—even when life feels hard. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Note: If today’s episode helped spark a great conversation, share it with a friend or your church’s kids ministry leader.

Hey Carpool Crew! Today we’re diving into a big question a man named Nicodemus asked Jesus: How can someone be born again? Nicodemus was super smart and religious, but Jesus told him that knowing the rules isn’t what saves you. What matters is having a brand new heart that follows Jesus from the inside out. In this episode, Pastor Justin helps kids understand what it means to live with a new heart—a life filled with God’s love, patience, and peace. Whether you’re at school, in line at lunch, or hanging out at recess, your new heart helps you treat others the way Jesus would. 🚗 Big Idea for Kids: Jesus gives us a brand-new life when we follow Him. 💬 Car Conversation Starter: How can living with a new heart from Jesus help you be different today at school? 🎯 Kid-Friendly Application: The next time someone is mean or things don’t go your way, stop and say: “Jesus, help me live the new life you gave me.” 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Note: If this podcast helps your family, share it with your parent friends or your kids' ministry leader.

Hey Carpool Crew! Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin explores a tough question someone asked Jesus in Luke 13:23: “Are only a few people going to be saved?” Instead of giving a number, Jesus flips the question and makes it personal—Are YOU following me? This episode reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just want a few perfect people in heaven. He wants everyone to follow Him! That means trusting Him, including others, and living out what He teaches—not just going through the motions. We’ll also hear about a kid named Emma who chose kindness at lunch and showed what it means to truly follow Jesus from the heart. 🚗 Big Idea for Kids: Jesus wants everyone to follow Him—not just a few. 📖 Bible Verse of the Day: Luke 13:23 – “Lord,” someone asked him, “are only a few people going to be saved?” 💬 Car Conversation Starter: Do I ever treat faith like it’s only for a few people instead of an invitation for everyone? 🎯 Weekly Challenge: Invite someone new to church, pray for a friend, or include someone who feels left out—just like Jesus would. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Note: If today’s episode encouraged your family, share it with your kids’ pastor or a friend!

Hey Carpool Crew! Pastor Justin is back with another big question people asked Jesus—this one comes straight from His disciples: “Who then can be saved?” (Matthew 19:25) The disciples were shocked to hear that it’s hard for rich people to enter heaven. In their world, being rich meant you were already close to God. But Jesus flipped that idea upside down! Today we learn that you don’t have to be perfect, rich, or powerful—you just have to trust Jesus. It’s not about earning God’s love. He already gives it freely. 🚗 Big Idea for Kids: You don’t have to be rich, perfect, or powerful—you just have to trust Jesus. 📖 Bible Verse of the Day: Matthew 19:25–26 – “Who then can be saved?... With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” 💬 Car Conversation Starter: Have I ever felt like I’m not good enough for God? 🙏 Short Friday Prayer: God, thank You for this week. Help us finish strong today and bless our weekend with joy and rest. Amen. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Note: Enjoying this podcast with your kids?

Hey Carpool Crew! Pastor Justin is kicking off a new month full of big questions people asked Jesus. Today’s comes from a rich young ruler who asked, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Mark 10:17) This man had everything—money, power, and probably a huge collection of shoes and toys. But deep down, he was missing something. When he asked Jesus how to live forever with God, the answer was a lot harder than expected. Jesus showed him (and us) what it really means to put God first. 🚗 Big Idea for Kids: Loving God means putting Him first—more than anything else.

And not just kindness to our friends, but kindness to everyone, even people who seem different from us.

👋 Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus! Today wraps up our week with Samson, and it’s a powerful reminder of something we all need to hear: Even when we mess up, God can still use us. 🙌 In this episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks through the final chapter of Samson’s story in Judges 16:28, where Samson—broken, blind, and alone—prays one more time: “Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more.” And guess what? God does. 🎯 Big Takeaways: Samson gave away his secret and lost everything… but God wasn’t done with him. Grace means God still loves us, forgives us, and gives second chances—even when we’ve blown it. One honest prayer can change everything. Jesus doesn’t cancel people—He restores them. From Peter to Zacchaeus to Samson, the Bible is full of people who made mistakes but still got used by God—and you can be one of those people too. 💬 Car Question: Can you think of a time you made a mistake, but were given another chance? 🙏 One Thing for the Ride: Even when we mess up, God can still use us. 📣 Parents: If this podcast encouraged you and your kids this week, share it with a friend or post about it.
