Hey Carpool Crew!

This October, we’re in a series called What Would Jesus Say About the Things That Scare Us? — and today we’re talking about the fear of being alone.

In Matthew 28:20, Jesus says:

"And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Jesus gave that promise right before He returned to heaven—and it’s not just for the people standing in front of Him that day. It’s for you, right now. Even when you're sitting by yourself at lunch, walking through a quiet hallway, or feeling like no one sees you—Jesus does.

In this episode, Pastor Justin reminds us:

What Jesus says when we feel like no one understands

Why being alone doesn’t mean being unseen

How to remember that Jesus is always with you

How you can turn loneliness into kindness by helping someone else

This is the perfect encouragement for kids dealing with friendship struggles, lonely moments, or those quiet heart aches we don’t always talk about.

Hey Carpool Crew!

Jesus said in John 8:12:

“I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”

That means even when you're lying in bed at night, walking down a dark hallway, or heading to the basement, you are not alone. His light is in you—and it’s stronger than fear.

In this episode, Pastor Justin talks about:

What Jesus would say if He were with you in a dark room

Why His light is better than any nightlight

How to pray when you're scared

A fun and helpful way to remember John 8:12

This is a great conversation for families dealing with fear at bedtime or any time.

Carpooling with Jesus is a daily Christian devotional podcast for kids and families. Each episode helps you start your day with God’s Word, real-life stories, and encouragement to follow Jesus every day.

If you’ve ever been scared of the dark—or know someone who is—this episode is for you.

Hey, carpool crew!

Whether this is your first ride with us or you’ve been buckled in all month, today we’re wrapping up Proverbs for Your School Life with a powerful truth about God’s Word that every kid—and parent—needs to hear.

Today’s verse, Proverbs 30:5, says, “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.” This means you can trust every single word God says—because it's flawless and never fails. Just like a strong shield, God’s Word offers protection, direction, and truth that stands firm even when everything else feels shaky.

So if you’ve ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or just unsure what to do at school, with friends, or in your own heart—run to God. Open your Bible. Say a prayer. Trust what He already said. You’re not alone—and His promises are always true.

🎯 In this episode, we talk about:

What it means that God’s word is “pure”

Why God is described as a shield

How kids can trust the Bible in school and everyday life

How to start building your life on Scripture now

Hey Carpool Crew!

In today’s episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin shares a powerful truth from Proverbs 28:6:

This proverb flips what the world says about success. You’ll hear why who you are matters so much more than what you have — and how integrity is worth more than any phone, grade, trophy, or number of likes.

Even Jesus, who could have chosen fame and power, chose obedience and character instead. He invites us to do the same.

🚗 Key Takeaways for Kids:

Integrity means doing the right thing, even when no one is watching

Being popular or having stuff doesn’t define your value

God sees and celebrates every wise choice you make

You don’t have to fake it to impress others—choose what’s right

👟 Practical Application:

Don’t compare your life to others online or in real life

Do what’s right, not just what’s easy

Trust that your character matters more than your achievements
