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

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.

Scripture: Luke 10:36 (CSB)

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.

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.

Scripture: Luke 11:1 (CSB)

Today's episode is built on Luke 10:41. Martha is hustling to make everything perfect while her sister Mary just sits with Jesus. Martha gets frustrated and calls Jesus out, but Jesus reminds her that being with him matters more than working for him.

One Thing to Remember: Be with Jesus before you work for Jesus.

Pastor Justin kicks off the week with a shout out to Harper in Maryvale, Tennessee, and a challenge for the whole carpool crew: make room for the kid no one else is making room for.

Today's episode walks kids through Mark 10:14, when the disciples tried to block parents from bringing their kids to Jesus. Jesus stopped everything, called the kids over, and reminded everyone that they were never in the way.

One Thing to Remember: Make room for the kid no one is making room for.

Hey Carpool Crew!

But this episode is about way more than just smelling good.

Pastor Justin talks about what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:19 and why the body God gave you is worth taking care of. You’ll hear funny real-life examples, honest talk about the “fake shower” strategy kids try to pull off, and practical ways to build better habits this week.

Most importantly, you’ll discover that taking care of yourself isn’t about looking perfect. It’s about respecting what God created.

Hey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the story from Luke chapter 17 where Jesus heals ten men with leprosy, but only one comes back to say thank you.

All ten men experienced a miracle. All ten were healed. But only one stopped what he was doing, turned around, and thanked Jesus with a grateful heart.

This episode teaches kids why gratitude matters and how easy it can be to rush through life without noticing all the good gifts God has given us. From family and food to friendship and help from others, Jesus invites us to slow down, notice blessings, and say thank you out loud.

Hey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the incredible story from Mark chapter 4 when Jesus calmed a massive storm with just three words: “Silence. Be still.”

The disciples were terrified as waves crashed into their boat and the wind shook everything around them. But while everyone else panicked, Jesus stood up calmly and showed that even the wind and waves obey Him.

This episode reminds kids that Jesus is not only bigger than storms outside the boat, but also the storms happening inside our hearts and minds. Whether it’s anxiety, fear, frustration, sadness, or stress, Jesus cares about every loud feeling we carry.

Hey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode, Pastor Justin talks about a moment in Mark chapter 6 when Jesus and His disciples were completely exhausted and desperately needed rest. But when they arrived at a quiet place, thousands of people were already waiting for them.

Instead of getting frustrated or sending everyone away, Jesus responded with compassion. Even though He was tired, He chose to care for people anyway.

This episode helps kids understand that kindness and love are often most important when we don’t feel like giving them. Whether it’s helping a sibling, listening to a friend, or pitching in at home, Jesus teaches us to put people before our own comfort.

Hey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the powerful story of Jesus meeting the woman at the well from John chapter 4. What started as one simple conversation turned into a life-changing moment that impacted an entire town.

The woman came to the well alone, probably trying to avoid people. But Jesus noticed her, talked with her kindly, and treated her like she mattered. Because she did.

This episode reminds kids that small moments of kindness, attention, and conversation can make a huge difference in someone’s life. Sometimes all it takes is saying hello, asking someone to sit with you, or noticing the person everyone else overlooks.
