Carpooling with Jesus | Bible Stories for Kids Devotionals Daily Devotional for Kids Daily Christian Kids Devotional

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re learning about how Jesus brings peace even when life feels loud, stressful, or out of control. In Mark 4:39, Jesus stood up in the middle of a huge storm and said, “Peace. Be still.” And everything went quiet. The waves stopped. The wind calmed. The storm ended—just because Jesus spoke. This episode reminds kids that the same Jesus who calmed the wind and waves can ca...

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re finishing our first full week of Advent by talking about something really important—hope has a name, and His name is Jesus. In Matthew 1:21, the angel tells Joseph to name the baby Jesus because “He will save His people from their sins.” The name Jesus literally means “The Lord saves.” This episode reminds kids and families that hope isn’t just a nice thought or a wis...

Hey Carpool Crew, today we’re learning about God’s perfect timing. Galatians 4:4–5 reminds us that Jesus was born at the exact right moment in history—every detail prepared by God. And the same is true in your life. Even when waiting feels slow, confusing, or frustrating, God is never late. He’s always working, preparing, and lining things up in ways we can’t see yet. This episode encourages kids...

Hey Carpool Crew, we’ve been talking all about hope this week as we journey through Advent toward Christmas! 🎄 I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re learning about something that’s not easy — waiting. Our verse is Isaiah 40:3 (CSB): “A voice of one crying out: Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.” God’s people had waited a long time and we...

Hey Carpool Crew, this week we’re talking about hope as we travel through Advent toward Christmas! 🌟 I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re looking at one of God’s earliest promises — the one He made to Abraham. Our verse is Genesis 12:1–3 (CSB): “I will make you into a great nation... and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” God told Abraham that his family would grow and one day b...

New Spotify Podcast Feed HERE   Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something amazing: being thankful for Jesus’ example and learning how to live like Him every day. We all have people we look up to — maybe a teacher, coach, or parent — but Jesus gave us the ultimate example of how to love, serve, and live with kindness. In John 13:15, Jesus said, “For I have given...

New Spotify Podcast Feed HERE   Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something bigger than anything you could ever wrap in a box or find under a tree: salvation. It’s God’s greatest gift — something we could never earn, but something that changes everything. In Ephesians 2:8–9, the Bible says, “For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselve...

Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about one of the best reasons to be thankful every day: God’s forgiveness. We all mess up sometimes. Maybe you’ve said something you wish you could take back, disobeyed your parents, or hurt a friend’s feelings. That heavy feeling of guilt can whisper, “I blew it.” But here’s the amazing truth — when we mess up, God doesn’t cancel us....

Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something that’s a huge part of your life: school! Some mornings it’s exciting, and other mornings… well, you’d rather stay in bed. But here’s the truth: school isn’t just about grades or homework — it’s one of the ways God helps you grow. In Luke 2:52, the Bible says, “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with...

Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something exciting: being thankful for adventures! Whether it’s a road trip, a vacation, or just exploring a new park, every trip is a chance to see God’s goodness in new places and with new people. In Psalm 121:8, the Bible says, “The Lord will protect your coming and going both now and forever.” This verse comes from a special...

Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something that might sound small but can make a big difference: quiet moments. Life can feel loud — alarms, chatter, school, sports, and busy schedules — but some of the most powerful moments with God happen when we slow down, breathe, and listen. In Psalm 46:10, God says, “Stop fighting, and know that I am God.” In Hebrew, that...

Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about two small words that can make a huge difference: Thank you. All month long, we’ve been learning about being thankful — not just during November, but every single day of the year. Saying thank you isn’t just good manners; it’s a way to remind people that God’s goodness is real. In Psalm 107:1, it says, “Give thanks to the Lord, fo...

I’m Pastor Justin, and in this new series, we’re going to take a deeper look at the amazing people God used all throughout Scripture — the heroes who followed Him, failed big, learned, grew, and changed the world. Each month, we’ll spend five episodes getting to know one Bib...

Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something we sometimes forget to thank God for: ourselves. That might sound a little funny, but think about it — God made you! He gave you your laugh, your voice, your mind, your talents, and the unique way you see the world. In Ephesians 2:10, it says, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which Go...
