Carpooling with Jesus: Daily Christian Devotions for Kids and Families

July 7th: Gideon: Chosen Even When You're Scared | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you're on your way to swim lessons, running errands, or relaxing at home with your favorite snack—I'm Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here.

In today’s Carpooling with Jesus devotional, we’re talking about Gideon—a guy who thought he was way too weak, too small, and too ordinary to do anything big for God. But guess what? God had different plans. If you’ve ever felt nervous, unsure, or like you're not enough, this episode is for you.

We explore Judges 6:12 — “The Lord is with you, valiant warrior.”

Even when Gideon was hiding and scared, God called him brave. Why? Because God doesn’t look at what we are today—He sees who we can become when we trust Him.

✨ In this episode, kids will learn:

  • How God sees potential in ordinary people

  • What to do when you feel scared or not good enough

  • How faith can make you strong, just like it did for Gideon

  • Why Jesus loves using regular kids to do extraordinary things

    🙌 No matter how small you feel, you are chosen, brave, and never alone.

    🚗 Parent Tip:

    If this encouraged your child today, share this episode with other families—on social media, in your neighborhood group, or with your church. Let’s spread the word about Carpooling with Jesus!

    ❓ Before you go, talk about this as a family:

    What’s one thing you think God might want you to do—even if it feels a little scary or too big for you?
