May 5 | Born Again Explained | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗
Pastor Justin here, and today we’re talking about something that might sound a little confusing at first… what does it actually mean to be “born again”?

In John 3:3, Jesus says something that surprised a lot of people: you have to be born again to see the kingdom of God. But He wasn’t talking about starting life over as a baby. He was talking about something way deeper.

Today’s Big Truth:
Jesus gives you a brand new life on the inside.

We walk through the story of Nicodemus and break down what Jesus really meant. It’s not about changing how you look on the outside. It’s about God changing your heart, your thoughts, and the way you treat people.

We also share a real-life story about a kid named Tyler who messed up, felt it in his heart, and chose to talk to Jesus about it. What happened next? That’s exactly what “being made new” looks like.

Here’s what you can do today:

• Be honest when you mess up
• Talk to Jesus about what’s going on inside
• Trust Him to change your heart over time

You don’t just need better behavior.
You need a new heart. And that’s exactly what Jesus gives.

Parent Action Step:
If this episode helped your family, share it with another parent today. A quick text or post can help another kid hear truth on their way to school.

Family Discussion Question:
What do you think it means to have a new heart on the inside?
