July 15 | Kind When the Cousins Pile In | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,
 
Family can be the easiest people to love and the easiest people to get annoyed with, sometimes in the same five minutes. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Colossians 3:12, where the Bible says to put on kindness like clothes. Kindness isn't just a feeling that shows up. It's something a kid chooses to wear, even on a loud, crowded day, and the people we get the most chances to practice on are usually right in our own house.
 
This Wednesday episode hands kids three things to try this week: picture kindness like a jacket and put it on before you speak, whisper a quick prayer when you feel the snap coming, and ask the heart question, am I only kind when it's easy? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
 
Today's One Thing: Put on kindness like clothes, especially with family.
 
Scripture: Colossians 3:12 (CSB)

July 14 | When the Trip Goes Sideways | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,
 
A plan you were counting on falls apart, and it can wreck a kid's whole mood in two seconds. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 16:9, where we plan our way but the Lord determines our steps. Even when the day goes sideways, God hasn't lost control for one second. The plan changed. He didn't. And some of the best days of the summer are the ones that didn't go the way anybody wanted.
 
This Tuesday episode hands kids three things to try this week: take a breath and ask God what to do with the day instead, whisper a one-sentence prayer when that crushed feeling comes, and ask the heart question, do I think a day is only good if it goes exactly my way? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
 
Today's One Thing: We make plans, but God is still in charge when they fall apart.
 
Scripture: Proverbs 16:9 (CSB)

July 13 | What to Say to Grandparents | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,
 
Talking to grandparents can feel a little awkward, and a lot of kids freeze up. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 16:31, where gray hair is called a glorious crown. The best gift a kid can give an older person isn't the perfect thing to say. It's actually listening. Ask one real question, then truly pay attention to the answer, and watch their whole face light up.
 
This Monday episode hands kids three things to try this week: ask an older person one real question and listen, whisper a quick prayer when they get antsy, and ask the heart question, do I treat older people like they're in my way or like a crown worth honoring? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
 
Today's One Thing: Honoring older people starts with really listening to them.

July 10 | When Telling the Truth Is Hard | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,
 
The second a kid messes up, the brain starts building a story to stay out of trouble. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Ephesians 4:25 and reframes honesty for kids. We belong to each other like one family, so telling the truth, even the hard truth, is one of the ways we actually love the people around us. A lie protects you for a minute. The truth protects the people you love for a long time.
 
This Friday episode hands kids three things to try this week: tell the truth about something they've been hiding before it gets heavier, whisper a one-sentence prayer for courage, and ask the heart question, am I being honest to protect myself or because I love them? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
 
Today's One Thing: Telling the truth is one way we love the people around us.

July 9 | When You're Scared to Try | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,
 
Twisty stomach, feet that won't move. Every kid knows the feeling of wanting to try something and being scared to. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Isaiah 41:10, where God says I will be with you, I will strengthen you, I will hold on to you. The Bible never tells kids to feel brave out of nowhere. It tells them God is with them, and that's where the brave comes from.
 
This Thursday episode hands kids three things to try this week: take one small first step toward a thing they've been scared of, whisper a one-sentence prayer right before the scary part, and learn that you take the step with God first and the brave shows up on the way. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
 
Today's One Thing: You don't have to be brave alone, because God is with you.
 
Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 (CSB)

July 8 | The Kindness Nobody Sees | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,
The second we do something nice, most of us want a little credit for it. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Luke 6:35 and shows kids a different kind of kindness, the kind that expects nothing back. The good you do when nobody is watching is the good that looks the most like God, and He never misses a single quiet, hidden one.
This Wednesday episode hands kids three things to try this week: do one kind thing they keep totally secret, hand the credit to God instead of waiting for it, and ask the heart question, would I still do it if no one ever found out? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
Today's One Thing: The best kindness is the kind that expects nothing back.
Scripture: Luke 6:35 (CSB)

July 7 | Doing Hard Things When Nobody's Checking | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,
Every kid knows the temptation to do a job halfway when nobody's checking. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Colossians 3:23 and flips the whole thing around. The main person your kid is working for isn't a parent, coach, or teacher. It's God, and that changes even the boring stuff into something worth doing all the way.
This Tuesday episode hands kids three things to try this week: pick one job and do every part of it like it's for God, say one short prayer when they want to quit halfway, and ask the heart question, who am I really working for? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
Today's One Thing: Do your work for God, even when no one is watching.
Scripture: Colossians 3:23 (CSB)

July 6 | Your Backyard Is a Cathedral | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,
The most amazing thing around your kid might be the stuff they walk past every day. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Psalm 19:1 and helps kids see that the sky over their own backyard is bigger than any cathedral people could build. Creation is always announcing how great God is, if we slow down enough to look.
This Monday episode hands kids three things to try this week: find one thing they've never really looked at and thank God for it, stare at the night sky for one full minute with no screen, and slow down instead of rushing past the ordinary. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
Today's One Thing: Creation is always pointing to God, even in your own backyard.
Scripture: Psalm 19:1 (CSB)

July 3 | Why Did Jesus Have to Die? | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,
Freedom Week hits the big question today: why did Jesus have to die? On Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Romans 5:8 and explains the cross to kids the way they can actually picture it. Every wrong thing we do runs up a bill too big to pay. Jesus stepped in and paid the whole thing Himself, not because anyone made Him, but because He wanted us with Him.
This Friday episode hands kids three things to try this week: say one thank-you sentence to Jesus out loud, stop hiding when you mess up because the bill is already paid, and ask the heart question, am I trying to earn God's love or do I believe Jesus already covered it? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
Today's One Thing: Jesus paid the price so you could go free.
Scripture: Romans 5:8 (CSB)

July 2 | Free to Do Right When Nobody's Watching | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids Devotional

Hey Carpool Crew,
Freedom Week rolls into day two with the question every kid runs into all summer long: what do I do when nobody's watching? Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens 1 Peter 2:16, where Peter says being free was never meant to be a cover-up for doing wrong. Real freedom shows up in the quiet, unsupervised moments, when doing right is completely your own call.
This Thursday episode hands kids three things to try this week: do one right thing on purpose when nobody's watching, pray three quick words when you feel the pull to hide something, and ask the heart question, am I the same kid with the door shut as I am when everybody's looking? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.
Today's One Thing: Who you are when nobody's watching is the real you. Jesus set you free to do right even then, not to sneak.
