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

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Pastor Justin here, and today we’re tackling a big question: Is Jesus just a really good teacher… or is He actually God?

Today’s Big Truth: Jesus isn’t just a good teacher. He is God.

In John 8:58, Jesus says something that caught everyone’s attention: “Before Abraham was, I am.”

That might sound simple at first, but it was a huge statement. “I am” was the name God used for Himself in the Old Testament. So when Jesus said that, He wasn’t just saying He existed before Abraham. He was saying He is God.

We break that down in a way kids can understand, including a simple school example that makes it click.

Here’s why this matters for you today:

This isn’t just about knowing facts. It changes how you pray, how you trust Him, and how you live every day.

When you talk to Jesus, you’re talking to God. When you feel scared, God is with you. When you follow Jesus, you’re following the One who made everything.

Family Discussion Question: Why do you think it matters that Jesus isn’t just a teacher, but actually God?

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗

In John 3:3, Jesus says something that surprised a lot of people: you have to be born again to see the kingdom of God. But He wasn’t talking about starting life over as a baby. He was talking about something way deeper.

Today’s Big Truth:

We walk through the story of Nicodemus and break down what Jesus really meant. It’s not about changing how you look on the outside. It’s about God changing your heart, your thoughts, and the way you treat people.

We also share a real-life story about a kid named Tyler who messed up, felt it in his heart, and chose to talk to Jesus about it. What happened next? That’s exactly what “being made new” looks like.

Here’s what you can do today:

You don’t just need better behavior.

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗

In Luke 12:48, Jesus says, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be required.” That means if you’ve been given gifts, talents, or strengths, they’re not just for you.

Here’s the truth:

Just like in Star Wars, power can be used for good or for bad. Same power, different outcomes.

Some of you are funny. Some are leaders. Some are kind. Some are great at sports or school.

What this looks like today:

The goal isn’t just being gifted.

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗

Pastor Justin gives a special shoutout to Emma, Scott, Amelia, and Adeline in Midland, Texas, and then dives into a powerful moment from Mark 10:17. A man runs up to Jesus and asks the question we’ve all wondered at some point: What do I need to do to have eternal life?

That question leads us to today’s big truth:

👉 Following Jesus matters more than anything else.

The man in the story looked like he had everything together. He made good choices and followed the rules. But Jesus saw something deeper. Something else had first place in his heart.

So what about us?

Kids today have a lot of good things in their lives. Friends, sports, games, family. None of those are bad. But this episode challenges listeners to ask:

Through a relatable story about a boy named Tyler and his video games, kids will learn how everyday choices reveal what truly comes first in their hearts.

Hey Carpool Crew!Welcome back to Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible! In today’s episode, we continue the story of Samuel and explore a turning point that changed Israel forever. 

As Samuel grows older, the people of Israel make a big request—they want a king. But this wasn’t just about leadership… it revealed something deeper going on in their hearts.

In this episode, kids will learn:

Even after God warned them, the people still chose their own way—and that decision would shape the future of Israel.

📖 Scripture Focus: 1 Samuel 8 (CSB)

Sometimes what we want isn’t what’s best.God knows what we truly need—even when we don’t.

🚗💨 Thanks for riding along on Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible.Next episode, we’ll meet Saul—the man who looked exactly like the king people wanted… but whose story teaches us that appearances can be deceiving.

And remember: God isn’t trying to hold you back—He’s trying to lead you well.

Each episode is short, honest, and designed to help kids think about faith in a way that makes sense.

If your question gets featured in an episode, we’ll give you a shoutout and send you a special Carpool Crew sticker.
