Carpooling with Jesus: Daily Christian Devotions for Kids and Families

June 13th: Is Friday the 13th Unlucky? What the Bible Really Says About Fear | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re busting a myth you’ve probably heard before — that Friday the 13th is unlucky. From black cats to ladder superstitions, people have all kinds of weird fears… but guess what? That’s not how God works.

📖 Key Verse: “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

🛑 Big Idea:

God doesn’t deal in luck. He deals in truth, love, and power.
So whether it’s Friday the 13th or any other day, we don’t have to be afraid.

🧭 In this episode:

  • The strange history of why people fear Friday the 13th

  • Why the Bible says fear doesn’t come from God

  • 3 ways to live boldly and peacefully today — even when the world says “be afraid”

    🧠 Practical Takeaways for Kids:

    1. Replace fear with prayer

    2. Encourage a friend who’s nervous

    3. Celebrate the day God made (Psalm 118:24)

      📣 Family Discussion Question:

      What’s something that used to make you nervous or scared — and how has God helped you see it differently?

      💬 Parents: If you enjoyed this podcast, share it with a friend, a kid’s ministry leader, or your church this weekend. Help more families replace fear with truth!
