Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you’re still waking up in the car or already asking for snacks, Pastor Justin is glad you're here!

In today’s episode, we’re talking all about parents—yep, the ones who told you to brush your teeth this morning. But they’re not just there to make rules. God gave you your parents on purpose—to help you grow into who He made you to be.

📖 Today’s verse comes from Proverbs 1:8–9 (CSB):

We’ll explore what Jesus might say about honoring your parents, how even He listened to Mary and Joseph, and how doing what your parents ask can actually make you wiser, kinder, and stronger.

🎒 Back-to-school challenge: Try doing one thing your parents ask this week without complaining—and see it as a gift, not a chore.

Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you're loading up on school supplies, finishing off your pancakes, or soaking in the last bit of summer—I'm Pastor Justin, and I'm so glad you're here.

Today we’re talking about something Jesus said that might surprise you: you don’t have to wait until you’re older to do something great. That’s right—Jesus believes in kids right now. In Matthew 18:3, He said we need to become like children to enter the kingdom of heaven. That means your faith, your heart, and your kindness matter today—not “someday.”

Jesus doesn’t need you to be taller, older, or more popular to use you in amazing ways. He’s ready to use your life, your words, and your heart—right now.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why Jesus lifted up a child as an example to His disciples

What it means to lead with kindness and courage as a kid

Real ways you can make a difference in your school or neighborhood this week

Hey Carpool Crew!

Today’s episode is all about remembering to ask Jesus for help—especially as things start to get busy with school right around the corner. When we feel nervous, left out, or unsure of what to do next, we don’t have to handle it all alone.

We’re looking at John 14:13 (CSB):

In this episode, we’ll explore:

Why prayer is more than just for big problems

What Jesus would say if He were sitting beside you

Real ways you can talk to Him every day

Remember: There’s no prayer too small. If it matters to you, it matters to Jesus.

Hey Carpool Crew!

In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the story of David from 2 Samuel 5:19—right after David became king and had to decide whether to go to battle. Instead of jumping in, David asked God first—and God gave him the answer he needed.

Jesus would want us to do the same. Whether you’re choosing where to sit at lunch, solving a problem with a friend, or facing a big change like moving to a new school—God wants to help. All you have to do is ask.

We’ll also hear a real-life story about Beckett and how a simple prayer helped him make a tough choice. You’ll walk away with confidence to pause, pray, and invite God into your decision-making.

Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you’re back-to-school shopping or still hunting down that one missing shoe, today’s reminder is big: You don’t have to earn God’s love—because you already have it.

As the school year approaches, it’s normal to feel nervous. What if you mess up? What if you don’t get the grade you hoped for? What if you forget your lunch on the first day? But Luke 12:7 reminds us that we are worth more than many sparrows—and that means you are seen, known, and deeply loved by God.

In this episode, Pastor Justin helps kids step into a new school year with confidence, not pressure. Jesus doesn’t care about your report card—He cares about your heart.

👟 A simple prayer to start the school day

Hey Carpool Crew!

Today’s verse comes from Job 2:13 (CSB):

“Then they sat on the ground with him seven days and nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw that his suffering was very intense.”

Sometimes, the best way to be a good friend isn’t saying the perfect thing—it’s just showing up. In this episode, we explore how Job’s friends got it right—by sitting with him in silence when he was hurting—and what that teaches us about love, friendship, and being present like Jesus.

Kids will learn:

Why listening is more powerful than talking

How Jesus responded to people who were hurting

Practical ways to be a gentle, supportive friend at school, at home, or anywhere life takes you

Jesus doesn’t ask us to fix everyone’s problems. He just asks us to be there with love and kindness.
