  July 24 | When You Didn't Get Picked | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 24.07.2026 4min

  Hey Carpool Crew, Getting passed over stings way more than it should. A kid stands there acting like it’s fine, but inside it hurts. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Psalm 34:18, where the Lord is near the brokenhearted. When a kid’s heart cracks, God doesn’t back away. He leans in closer, which is the exact opposite of how it feels. Not getting picked by people does not mean a kid isn’t wanted by God. People can overlook them. God never does.

  July 23 | When You Miss Someone This Summer | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 23.07.2026 4min

  Hey Carpool Crew, Summer makes friendships go quiet. People travel, they’re at camp, families get busy, and the friend a kid saw every day is suddenly gone for a while. That quiet can feel scary, like something’s wrong. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 17:17, where a friend loves at all times, which includes the quiet ones. Quiet is not the same as over. A friendship can go silent for a season and still be alive underneath. The real question isn’t whether a friend went quiet. It’s what kind of friend your kid will be while it’s quiet.

  July 22 | Who You Are When Nobody's Telling You What to Do | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 22.07.2026 4min

  Hey Carpool Crew, Summer does something funny. When nobody’s handing kids a list, it’s easy for them to forget who they are and just float through the day. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Ephesians 2:10, where we are God’s workmanship, made on purpose for good works God planned ahead of time. A kid’s worth doesn’t switch on when a grown-up hands them an assignment. It was baked in all along. The empty day isn’t a test of whether they matter. It’s a blank page where the real them gets to show up.

  July 21 | Three Thanks Beats Grumpy | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 21.07.2026 4min

  Hey Carpool Crew, Some days a grumpy mood rolls in like a cloud and parks right over a kid’s head, no real reason needed. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where we give thanks in everything, not for everything. Grumpy makes the brain hunt for what’s wrong. Thankful makes it hunt for what’s right. They can’t both run the show. So when a kid names three real thank-yous, the grumpy has to start scooting over.

  July 20 | The Boredom Treasure Hunt | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 20.07.2026 4min

  Hey Carpool Crew, Somewhere in the middle of summer, kids hit the slump where every day feels the same and they’re just bored. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 25:2, where God loves to conceal a good thing and then call us to go investigate. Boredom isn’t the end of the fun. It might be the invitation right before it. God tucks good things nearby, not to keep them from us, but because He loves the joy of us finding them.

  July 17 | The Long Car Ride Honor Test | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 17.07.2026 4min

  Hey Carpool Crew, Anybody can be respectful when everything’s easy. The real test is the hard moment. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Ephesians 6:1-2, where the Bible tells kids to honor their father and mother. Honor means treating someone like they matter, with your words and your tone and your attitude. And the moment it counts most is the inconvenient one, when you’re tired and you’d rather grumble.

  July 16 | When Your Sibling Is Driving You Crazy | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 16.07.2026 4min

  Hey Carpool Crew, You can’t pick your siblings, you can’t return them, and in the summer you’re stuck with them a whole lot. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Romans 12:18, where the Bible says to live at peace as far as it depends on you. Kids can’t control whether a brother or sister calms down. They can control their part. And often, when one person stops adding wood to the fire, the fire starts to go out.

  July 15 | Kind When the Cousins Pile In | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 15.07.2026 4min

  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.

  July 14 | When the Trip Goes Sideways | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 14.07.2026 4min

  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.

  July 13 | What to Say to Grandparents | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 13.07.2026 4min

  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.

  July 10 | When Telling the Truth Is Hard | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 10.07.2026 5min

  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.

  July 9 | When You're Scared to Try | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 09.07.2026 5min

  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.

  July 8 | The Kindness Nobody Sees | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 08.07.2026 4min

  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.

  July 7 | Doing Hard Things When Nobody's Checking | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 07.07.2026 4min

  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.

  July 6 | Your Backyard Is a Cathedral | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 06.07.2026 4min

  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.

  July 3 | Why Did Jesus Have to Die? | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids 03.07.2026 4min

  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.

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.

Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin kicks off Freedom Week with Galatians 5:1, where Paul says Christ set us free. Free, it turns out, was never about doing whatever you want. It’s about finally being able to do what’s right.
