September 17th: What Real Friendship Looks Like | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re excited to see your best friend or still rubbing your eyes in the backseat, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you’re here.

This month we’re in our series:

Proverbs for Your School Life — Bible wisdom to help you build real relationships, handle school life, and make good choices each day.

📖 Proverbs 17:17 (CSB)

👉 “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time.”

💡 What does that mean?

Solomon is showing us what real friendship looks like:

  • A true friend doesn’t just show up for fun—they stick around when life gets hard

  • Real friends love you on your messy days, not just your best ones

  • You were made by God to be that kind of friend—and Jesus is the perfect example

    ✅ In this episode, kids will learn:

    • The difference between fair-weather friends and faithful friends

    • Why showing up during tough times matters more than popularity

    • How Jesus modeled loyalty, love, and friendship with His disciples—even when they struggled

    • How to be the kind of friend that others can count on—no matter what

      đŸ« Real-life example:

      Your friend is getting made fun of at lunch. You’re not joining in
 but you’re just standing there.
      👉 What kind of friend do you want to be?
      This episode helps kids think through real-life friendship moments and how to respond with courage, love, and faith.

      📘 Application for Today:

      1. Be the kind of friend you wish you had

      2. Stick with people when they’re hurting, not just when it’s fun

      3. Ask Jesus to help you show up in real life, not just on text or social media

        đŸ‘šâ€đŸ‘©â€đŸ‘§ Parent Tip:

        Ask your child:
        “What’s one way you can be a better friend this week—especially to someone going through a hard time?”
        If this episode encouraged your family, share it with a parent friend or your church’s kids ministry. Let’s help more families raise wise, compassionate, Christ-like kids.
