    We’ll explore what it means that Jesus has always been and always will be—and why that truth still matters today. You’ll also hear a quick story about Grayson and how he learned Jesus is more than just a part of history—He's still at work now.

  • May 8th: How to Respond When People Question Your Faith| Carpooling with Jesus
    May 8 2025

    Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you're headed to school, finishing breakfast, or stuck in traffic, Pastor Justin is here to tackle another big question someone asked Jesus—this time, it wasn’t a kind one. In John 8, religious leaders tried to trap Jesus by asking Him, “Who do you think you are?”

    But Jesus didn’t back down. He told the truth—even when people didn’t like it. He said, “Before Abraham was born, I am.” That wasn’t just bold—it was Him declaring He really is God’s Son.

    In today’s episode, we’ll talk about what it means to trust Jesus when others doubt Him, how to stand strong in your faith, and what to say when people ask tough questions. You’ll also hear a story about Maya, a girl who stayed calm and confident when someone at school questioned her belief in Jesus.

    💡 Big Idea for Kids:

    Jesus is God’s Son—and we can trust Him.

    💬 Car Conversation Starter:

    What would you say if someone asked, “Who is Jesus to you?”

    🎯 Faith in Action:

    When someone questions your faith, you can respond with love, confidence, and truth—just like Jesus did.

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Note:

  • May 7th: John the Baptist and Jesus, When we have Doubts | Carpooling with Jesus
    May 7 2025

    Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you’re heading to school, chilling at home, or running errands with your family, Pastor Justin is here with another big question someone asked Jesus—this time, from someone really important: John the Baptist.

    Even though John baptized Jesus and told everyone the Savior was coming, he still had a moment of doubt when things got hard. From prison, he asked Jesus, “Are you really the one?”

    And guess what? Jesus didn’t get mad. He gave proof. He reminded John—and all of us—why we can trust Him: the blind see, the dead are raised, and good news is being shared.

    This episode reminds kids that even strong believers can have doubts—but Jesus is still the Savior we’ve been waiting for.

    💡 Big Idea for Kids: Jesus is the Savior we’ve been waiting for—even when we doubt.

    💬 Car Conversation Starter: What helps me remember that Jesus is real and loves me—even when I have doubts?

    🎯 Faith in Action: If you’re going through a tough time, talk to someone you trust. And ask Jesus to remind you He’s near—even when life feels hard.

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Note: If today’s episode helped spark a great conversation, share it with a friend or your church’s kids ministry leader. Carpooling with Jesus is here to help families everywhere grow in faith—one car ride at a time.

  • May 6th: How to Live Like Jesus at School. Kids Devotional| Carpooling with Jesus
    May 6 2025

    Hey Carpool Crew! Today we’re diving into a big question a man named Nicodemus asked Jesus: How can someone be born again? Nicodemus was super smart and religious, but Jesus told him that knowing the rules isn’t what saves you. What matters is having a brand new heart that follows Jesus from the inside out.

    In this episode, Pastor Justin helps kids understand what it means to live with a new heart—a life filled with God’s love, patience, and peace. Whether you’re at school, in line at lunch, or hanging out at recess, your new heart helps you treat others the way Jesus would.

    🚗 Big Idea for Kids: Jesus gives us a brand-new life when we follow Him.

    💬 Car Conversation Starter: How can living with a new heart from Jesus help you be different today at school?

    🎯 Kid-Friendly Application: The next time someone is mean or things don’t go your way, stop and say: “Jesus, help me live the new life you gave me.”

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Note: If this podcast helps your family, share it with your parent friends or your kids' ministry leader. You’re helping more kids hear about Jesus every time you share or review the show.

  • May 5th: Following Jesus from the Heart. Kids Devotional | Carpooling with Jesus
    May 5 2025

    Hey Carpool Crew! Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin explores a tough question someone asked Jesus in Luke 13:23: “Are only a few people going to be saved?” Instead of giving a number, Jesus flips the question and makes it personal—Are YOU following me?

    This episode reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just want a few perfect people in heaven. He wants everyone to follow Him! That means trusting Him, including others, and living out what He teaches—not just going through the motions.

    We’ll also hear about a kid named Emma who chose kindness at lunch and showed what it means to truly follow Jesus from the heart.

    🚗 Big Idea for Kids: Jesus wants everyone to follow Him—not just a few.

    📖 Bible Verse of the Day: Luke 13:23 – “Lord,” someone asked him, “are only a few people going to be saved?”

    💬 Car Conversation Starter: Do I ever treat faith like it’s only for a few people instead of an invitation for everyone?

    🎯 Weekly Challenge: Invite someone new to church, pray for a friend, or include someone who feels left out—just like Jesus would.

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Note: If today’s episode encouraged your family, share it with your kids’ pastor or a friend! We love being a resource to churches and families around the country.

  • May 2nd: Who Then Can Be Saved? Kids Devotional | Carpooling with Jesus
    May 2 2025

    Hey Carpool Crew! Pastor Justin is back with another big question people asked Jesus—this one comes straight from His disciples: “Who then can be saved?” (Matthew 19:25)

    The disciples were shocked to hear that it’s hard for rich people to enter heaven. In their world, being rich meant you were already close to God. But Jesus flipped that idea upside down! Today we learn that you don’t have to be perfect, rich, or powerful—you just have to trust Jesus. It’s not about earning God’s love. He already gives it freely.

    🚗 Big Idea for Kids: You don’t have to be rich, perfect, or powerful—you just have to trust Jesus.

    📖 Bible Verse of the Day: Matthew 19:25–26 – “Who then can be saved?... With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

    💬 Car Conversation Starter: Have I ever felt like I’m not good enough for God?

    🙏 Short Friday Prayer: God, thank You for this week. Help us finish strong today and bless our weekend with joy and rest. Amen.

  • May 1st: What Must I Do to Inherit Eternal Life? Kids Devotional | Carpooling with Jesus
    May 1 2025

    Hey Carpool Crew! Pastor Justin is kicking off a new month full of big questions people asked Jesus. Today’s comes from a rich young ruler who asked, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Mark 10:17)

    This man had everything—money, power, and probably a huge collection of shoes and toys. But deep down, he was missing something. When he asked Jesus how to live forever with God, the answer was a lot harder than expected. Jesus showed him (and us) what it really means to put God first.

    🚗 Big Idea for Kids: Loving God means putting Him first—more than anything else.
