May 4 | Use What God Gave You | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗Happy May the Fourth! And today’s big truth fits perfectly:Use what God gave you to help others.
In Luke 12:48, Jesus says, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be required.” That means if you’ve been given gifts, talents, or strengths, they’re not just for you.
Here’s the truth:You have influence. You have ability. You have something that matters.The question is, how are you using it?
Just like in Star Wars, power can be used for good or for bad. Same power, different outcomes.
Some of you are funny. Some are leaders. Some are kind. Some are great at sports or school.That’s your “power.”
What this looks like today:
Know your strengths
Use them to help, not hurt
Pay attention to your impact on others
The goal isn’t just being gifted.It’s using your gifts in a way that makes people better.
Family Discussion Question:What is something you are good at, and how can you use it to help someone today?

May 1 | Following Jesus Matters Most | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗We’re so glad you’re here today. Whether you’re heading to school, finishing breakfast, or starting homeschool, this episode is all about one big question: What matters most in your life?
Pastor Justin gives a special shoutout to Emma, Scott, Amelia, and Adeline in Midland, Texas, and then dives into a powerful moment from Mark 10:17. A man runs up to Jesus and asks the question we’ve all wondered at some point: What do I need to do to have eternal life?
That question leads us to today’s big truth:
👉 Following Jesus matters more than anything else.
The man in the story looked like he had everything together. He made good choices and followed the rules. But Jesus saw something deeper. Something else had first place in his heart.
So what about us?
Kids today have a lot of good things in their lives. Friends, sports, games, family. None of those are bad. But this episode challenges listeners to ask:👉 Do any of those things matter more to me than following Jesus?
Through a relatable story about a boy named Tyler and his video games, kids will learn how everyday choices reveal what truly comes first in their hearts.
Here’s what you can do today:
Put Jesus first before distractions
Pay attention to your choices because they show what matters most
Be willing to let go of anything that gets in the way
Parent Action Step:If this episode encouraged your family, share it with another parent today or post it in a group you're part of. It’s a simple way to help more families have meaningful faith conversations.
Family Discussion Question:What is something in your life that sometimes feels more important than following Jesus? And how can you change that?

BONUS: Ep 1: Samuel is Listening | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible Kids Devotional

Hey Carpool Crew!Welcome back to Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible! In today’s episode, we continue the story of Samuel and explore a turning point that changed Israel forever. 
As Samuel grows older, the people of Israel make a big request—they want a king. But this wasn’t just about leadership… it revealed something deeper going on in their hearts.
In this episode, kids will learn:
How Samuel became a trusted prophet across Israel
What life was like before Israel had kings
What judges were and how they led the nation
Why Samuel’s sons created a problem for the people
What it really meant when Israel asked for a king
Why wanting to be “like everyone else” can lead us in the wrong direction
Even after God warned them, the people still chose their own way—and that decision would shape the future of Israel.
📖 Scripture Focus: 1 Samuel 8 (CSB)
Sometimes what we want isn’t what’s best.God knows what we truly need—even when we don’t.
🚗💨 Thanks for riding along on Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible.Next episode, we’ll meet Saul—the man who looked exactly like the king people wanted… but whose story teaches us that appearances can be deceiving.
And remember: God isn’t trying to hold you back—He’s trying to lead you well.
