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

Hey Carpool Crew,

Kids have a short list of who counts. The friends they sit with at lunch. The kids on their team. The group at recess. Everybody else gets walked past. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Luke 10:36 and the story of the Good Samaritan. The point lands different for kids than they expect. A priest walked past. A temple worker walked past. The Samaritan, who nobody thought would help, stopped. He bandaged the man on the side of the road. He put him on his own donkey. He paid for his room at the inn and told the innkeeper, "If it costs more, I'll pay when I come back." Jesus' question lands on all of us. Which one was the neighbor?

This Friday episode gives kids three real moves to try this weekend. The stop-and-check move. The helpful-without-being-asked move. The "ask Jesus who I keep walking past" move. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on before the weekend kicks in.

Today's One Thing: Be a neighbor to whoever is right in front of you.

Scripture: Luke 10:36 (CSB)

Hey Carpool Crew,

Most kids keep score. Not on purpose. It just happens. The sibling who keeps doing the thing that bugs them. The friend who hurt their feelings again. The kid at school who said something mean and they can still feel it days later. Each one gets added to a quiet list in their head. And the longer the list, the heavier it gets. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Matthew 18:22, where Peter walks up to Jesus and asks how many times he has to forgive somebody. Peter guesses seven. Jesus says seventy times seven. The point isn't the math. The point is stop counting. Forgiveness doesn't have a number on it.

This episode gives kids three real forgiveness moves to try this week. The "Jesus, I'm letting it go" move. The one-breath move. The "I'm sorry" move. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, and a discussion question for the whole family before they jump out of the car.

Today's One Thing: Stop counting, start forgiving.

Scripture: Matthew 18:22 (CSB)

Hey Carpool Crew!

Most kids think prayer is something fancy. Quiet church voice. Hands folded. Eyes squeezed shut extra tight. Special words they're not sure they can pull off. So a lot of kids skip it because they're not sure they're doing it right. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Luke 11:1, where Jesus' own friends asked Him, "Lord, teach us to pray." Jesus didn't hand them a complicated formula. He gave them a short, real, honest prayer we now call the Lord's Prayer. The point lands clean for kids. God is close. He's listening. You don't need fancy words to talk to Him.

This episode gives kids three real prayer moves to try this week. The wake-up prayer. The middle-of-the-moment prayer. The two-sentence bedtime prayer. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on before they jump out of the car.

Today's One Thing: You can talk to God any time, and He hears you.

Scripture: Luke 11:1 (CSB)

Hey Carpool Crew! 

Today's episode is built on Luke 10:41. Martha is hustling to make everything perfect while her sister Mary just sits with Jesus. Martha gets frustrated and calls Jesus out, but Jesus reminds her that being with him matters more than working for him.

One Thing to Remember: Be with Jesus before you work for Jesus.

Three ways kids can practice this week:

In the morning, take 30 seconds to say, "Jesus, here's my day. Stay with me in it."

Pick one car ride this week to play a worship song instead of scrolling.

Before bed, tell Jesus one thing about your day. Just one sentence.

Family Discussion Question: When this week can our family slow down and just be with Jesus together?

Hey Carpool Crew!

Pastor Justin kicks off the week with a shout out to Harper in Maryvale, Tennessee, and a challenge for the whole carpool crew: make room for the kid no one else is making room for.

Today's episode walks kids through Mark 10:14, when the disciples tried to block parents from bringing their kids to Jesus. Jesus stopped everything, called the kids over, and reminded everyone that they were never in the way.

One Thing to Remember: Make room for the kid no one is making room for.

Three things kids can do this week:

Find one kid sitting alone at lunch and ask to sit with them.

Say yes the first time a younger sibling wants to hang out.

Look for the kid not playing at recess and invite them in.

Family Discussion Question: Why was it important to Jesus to tell the disciples to let all the kids come to him?
