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

Hey Carpool Crew… Merry Christmas! I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re celebrating the best news the world has ever heard: Jesus is here. Luke 2:15 (CSB) tells us that when the angels announced Jesus’ birth, the first people invited to see Him were shepherds—regular, hardworking people. They weren’t famous or important by the world’s standards, but God chose them first to show us something powerful: Jesus came for everyone. The shepherds didn’t wait or make excuses. They hurried to Bethlehem because they wanted to see Jesus for themselves. God didn’t stay far away or too busy—He showed up. He came close, right into our world, right into our lives. That’s what Christmas is all about. Jesus is not just a story or a tradition. He is real, and He is here—now and always. So here’s today’s simple Christmas challenge: every time you notice something good today, say, “Thank you, Jesus.”When you open a gift. When you laugh with your family. When you feel loved. All good things point back to Him. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. Parents: Merry Christmas to you. Thank you for all the love, care, and effort you pour into your kids. It matters more than you know. Talk about it together: What’s one thing you want to thank Jesus for this Christmas? I’ll see you tomorrow on Carpooling with Jesus. 🍏 Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://apple.co/4gUygJo⁠ 🎧 Spotify: ⁠https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus⁠ ✨ Subscribe on Spotify: ⁠https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe⁠ 📱 Instagram: ⁠https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ⁠ 🚗 Facebook Community: ⁠https://bit.ly/CPWJFB⁠ This Christmas Day episode of Carpooling with Jesus helps kids celebrate the birth of Jesus through Luke 2:15.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re wrapping up our Advent week on love—and it’s a big day. It’s Christmas Eve, and we’re talking about the moment love arrived. Matthew 1:23 (CSB) says, “They will name him Emmanuel,” which means God is with us. Before the manger, before the shepherds, before the star, God made a promise. Hundreds of years earlier, He said a child would come—and that child would show us that God didn’t stay far away. He came close. Jesus didn’t arrive as a king in a palace. He came as a baby—small, gentle, and reachable. That’s how God showed His love. Not distant. Not loud. Personal and near. Jesus understands hard days, fear, loneliness, and growing up—because He lived it too. When you feel scared or alone, He is with you. Just like when someone sits beside you when you’re upset—that comfort is what Emmanuel feels like. So today’s challenge is simple: be with someone else, just like Jesus is with you. Sit with someone who feels alone. Help without being asked. Say, “I’m here for you.” Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. Parents: Thank you for all the ways you make Christmas meaningful for your kids—the love, the time, the care. It matters more than you know. Talk about it together: What does it mean to you that Jesus is with you, no matter what?

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re continuing our Advent journey toward Christmas by learning more about God’s love—and it starts in a surprising place: a manger. Luke 2:6–7 (CSB) tells us that when Jesus was born, He wasn’t placed in a palace or a fancy bed. He was laid in a manger—a feeding trough for animals. God chose a humble beginning to show us something powerful: His love is for everyone. Jesus didn’t come in comfort or luxury. He came close. His love moves toward people who feel left out, overlooked, or forgotten. From the very beginning, Jesus showed that everyone matters to God. So today, look for someone who might feel alone. Include them. Help them. Say something kind. Small acts of love can show others just how much God cares. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re talking about how you can find joy in quiet moments—even when things feel slow or a little boring. Zephaniah 3:17 (CSB) tells us something incredible: God is with you, He saves you, He delights in you, and He is quiet in His love. That means God doesn’t only show up in loud or exciting moments. Sometimes His joy meets us best when everything is calm and still. Quiet moments can feel uncomfortable at first, but they can also become special places where God reminds you that you are loved, safe, and never alone. Joy doesn’t always need noise. Sometimes it grows in peace. So today, don’t rush through the quiet. Slow down. Take a breath. Let God’s quiet love fill your heart with joy. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. Parents: If this episode encouraged your family, consider sharing it with another parent or posting about it so more families can discover Carpooling with Jesus.

Hey Carpool Crew… I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here! Fridays feel great because the weekend is almost here—but today we’re talking about a joy that’s even stronger than Friday joy: the joy that comes from remembering God’s promises. Joshua 21:45 (CSB) says, “None of the good promises the Lord had made… failed. Everything was fulfilled.” God’s people went through years of waiting, wandering, and battles—but when they finally looked back, they realized something amazing: God kept every single promise. Not some. Not most. All of them. That’s why God’s promises bring real joy. When you remember what God has done, you can trust what He will do next. Even when life feels stressful or uncertain, God’s promises are steady and strong. So today, think of one promise from God. Say it out loud. Share it with a parent or a friend. And trust that God will keep working in your life. Remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. Parents: Don’t forget—new weekend episodes, Goodnight Psalms, and Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible are all available when you subscribe on Apple or Spotify.
