  • November 28th: Thankfulness Doesn’t End After Thanksgiving | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional
    Hey, if you’re listening on Spotify, head over to our new podcast feed here: 🎧 https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus Also, you can subscribe on Spotify for our weekend episodes, plus Goodnight Psalms and Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: ✨ https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe     Hey Carpool Crew, Happy Friday! Maybe you’re eating some Thanksgiving leftovers or just catching up on sleep — either way, I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here. Today’s reminder is simple but powerful: thankfulness isn’t just for one day. It’s not about a holiday on the calendar — it’s something we can live out every single day. Our verse for today comes from 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Did you catch that? It doesn’t say “give thanks on Thanksgiving.” It says in everything. That means we can be thankful when life is fun and easy — and even when it’s not. Let’s think about Daniel — one of my son Beckett’s favorite Bible stories. Daniel was far from home in a strange land. He missed everything familiar, but the Bible says Daniel “prayed and gave thanks to God just as he had done before” (Daniel 6:10). Even when life was hard, Daniel didn’t stop being thankful — and that thankfulness made his faith strong enough to face lions! If Jesus were sitting in the car with you today, I think He’d say, “Keep thanking God — not just on special days, but every day. The more you thank Me, the stronger your faith will grow.” Here’s how that works: the more you practice thankfulness — just like practicing the piano, or shooting free throws, or learning a new skill — the better you get at it. When you say, “Thank you, God,” every day — for your family, your food, your friends, or even the challenges you face — your heart learns to see God’s goodness in everything. So don’t let your thankfulness stop after Thanksgiving. Thankful hearts don’t need a holiday — they just need a moment. Before you go, talk about this together: What’s one thing you can thank God for — not just today, but every day this week? And remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

  • November 27th: I Love What I Have — It Couldn’t Be Better | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional
    Hey, if you’re listening on Spotify, head over to our new podcast feed here: 🎧 https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus Also, you can subscribe on Spotify for our weekend episodes, plus Goodnight Psalms and Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: ✨ https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe   Hey Carpool Crew, and Happy Thanksgiving! I’m Pastor Justin — and I want you to know, right up front, I’m thankful for YOU. Whether you’re playing football, helping in the kitchen, or just hanging out with your family today, this episode is a reminder that true thankfulness isn’t about having more — it’s about loving what you already have. Our verse today comes from Psalm 107:1 — “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His faithful love endures forever.” That verse reminds us that God’s goodness never runs out. The people in the Bible who were closest to God weren’t the ones who had everything — they were the ones who gave thanks the most. Even King David, when life was hard, kept singing, “Thank you, Lord, for your love and goodness.” If Jesus were sitting next to you at the Thanksgiving table, I think He’d smile and say, “You don’t need everything to be perfect to be thankful. Look around — I’m here with you. Your family’s here. You are loved. That’s enough.” So here’s something to try today: whenever you catch yourself wishing for something someone else has — maybe a bigger piece of pie, a cooler bike, or a fancier house — stop and say, “I love what I have. It couldn’t be better.” Because when you focus on what you already have, joy starts to grow inside you. Gratitude changes the way your heart feels — it turns envy into peace, and comparison into contentment. Here’s your Thanksgiving Challenge — one that works every day of the year: 👉 Every time you catch yourself wishing for something more, pause and say, “I love what I have. It couldn’t be better.” Thankful people don’t wait for perfect stuff or perfect days — they know that God’s love makes today enough. Before you go, talk about this together: What’s something in your life right now that you can say, “I love this. It couldn’t be better”? And remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

  • November 26th: Taste and See That God Is Good | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional
    Hey, if you’re listening on Spotify, head over to our new podcast feed here: 🎧 https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus Also, you can subscribe on Spotify for our weekend episodes, plus Goodnight Psalms and Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: ✨ https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and tomorrow’s a big day… Thanksgiving! I don’t know about you, but I’m already thinking about what I’m going to eat. Pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, all of it! But today, we’re talking about something even better — those “ah moments” when everything just feels right. You know the ones — that first sip of hot chocolate on a cold morning, or the first bite of your favorite pizza when it’s warm and cheesy. You smile, your heart feels happy, and you just think, “Ah.” Those moments remind us that God made us to experience joy. In Psalm 34:8, it says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” This verse isn’t just about food — it’s about noticing how good God is in every part of life. Every time you laugh, smell cookies baking, or see a sunset, you’re getting a taste of His goodness. When David wrote this psalm, he was actually running for his life — but even then, he stopped to say, “God is good.” If Jesus were sitting next to you on the couch or in the car, I think He’d say, “Slow down. Notice the good things I’ve given you — your family, your favorite meal, the sunshine. Enjoy them. They’re gifts from Me.” So here’s your challenge today: find one “ah moment.” Maybe it’s a smell, a laugh, or something that just feels peaceful. When you find it, pause and say, “Thank you, God. You are good.” Because when you notice the small things, you’ll start to see that God’s goodness is everywhere. Before you go, talk about this together: What’s something that made you say “ah” recently, and how could you thank God for it? And remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

  • November 25th: Thankfulness Takes Courage | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional
    Hey, if you’re listening on Spotify, head over to our new podcast feed here: 🎧 https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus Also, you can subscribe on Spotify for our weekend episodes, plus Goodnight Psalms and Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: ✨ https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe   Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something that’s harder than it looks: saying thank you, even when it’s uncomfortable. Maybe someone handed you a gift, everyone was watching, and you mumbled a quiet “thanks.” We’ve all been there! But here’s the truth — real thankfulness actually takes courage. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, it says, “Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” That means God wants us to be thankful — not just when life is easy, but even when things are messy or don’t go our way. When Paul wrote those words, he wasn’t relaxing somewhere nice — he was in prison, cold and unsure what would happen next. But even there, he said, “Give thanks.” That’s brave faith. Gratitude isn’t about perfect situations — it’s about having a strong heart that trusts God no matter what. If Jesus were sitting next to you in the car, I think He’d say, “It’s brave to be thankful, even when it feels awkward. Every time you say thank you, you shine My light.” In this episode, we’ll talk about how saying thank you — especially when it’s hard — shows humility, courage, and love. You’ll even get a simple challenge: pick one person (a teacher, coach, or parent) and say thank you — out loud — and tell them why you’re thankful. Or, if you want to go further, write them a thank-you note like we talked about in a previous episode. Remember, gratitude grows your heart — and courage grows your faith. Before you go, talk about this together: Why do you think it’s sometimes hard to say “thank you”? And remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.

  • November 24th: Thank You — God’s Password | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional
    Hey, if you’re listening on Spotify, head over to our new podcast feed here: 🎧 https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus Also, you can subscribe on Spotify for our weekend episodes, plus Goodnight Psalms and Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: ✨ https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribe   Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something that might surprise you: God has a password! It’s not full of numbers or symbols… it’s just two simple words: “Thank you.” Those words open the door to something way better than a game or an app — they open the door to God’s presence. In Psalm 100:4, it says, “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise.” Back when this verse was written, people would go to the temple to worship God. Before they even stepped inside, they came singing and thanking Him. Gratitude wasn’t just about good manners — it was how they got close to God. And the best part? We don’t need a temple anymore. We can say “thank you” anywhere — in the car, at school, or right before bed — and instantly draw near to Him. If Jesus were sitting next to you today, I think He’d say, “Every time you say thank you, you come closer to My Father. You show that you notice His goodness — and that makes His heart smile.” In this episode, you’ll learn how being thankful unlocks peace and joy in your heart. Complaining can make us feel closed off, but gratitude swings the door wide open to God’s presence. Try it today — whenever something good happens, whisper: “Thank you, God.” Even small things — a good lunch, a kind friend, or finding a quarter — are chances to use God’s password. Before you go, talk about this together: When could you use “thank you” as your password today? And remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you. 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJo 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlus 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.
