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?

Hey Carpool Crew!
Today’s bonus episode is all about something every kid deals with... hygiene. Brushing your teeth. Taking showers. Wearing clean clothes. Washing your hands. Yep, we’re going there.

But this episode is about way more than just smelling good.

Pastor Justin talks about what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:19 and why the body God gave you is worth taking care of. You’ll hear funny real-life examples, honest talk about the “fake shower” strategy kids try to pull off, and practical ways to build better habits this week.

Most importantly, you’ll discover that taking care of yourself isn’t about looking perfect. It’s about respecting what God created.

Today’s big idea:
The body God gave you is worth taking care of.

Discussion Question:
What is one thing about your hygiene routine that you could do a little better this week? And how can your parents help you do it?

This Christian kids podcast episode helps children understand why hygiene matters from a biblical perspective. Kids will learn about taking care of their bodies, brushing teeth, showering, healthy habits, and respecting the body God created. Perfect for school mornings, family devotions, and faith-based conversations between parents and kids. Great for elementary-age children learning responsibility, self-care, and biblical truth in a fun and practical way.

Hey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the story from Luke chapter 17 where Jesus heals ten men with leprosy, but only one comes back to say thank you.

All ten men experienced a miracle. All ten were healed. But only one stopped what he was doing, turned around, and thanked Jesus with a grateful heart.

This episode teaches kids why gratitude matters and how easy it can be to rush through life without noticing all the good gifts God has given us. From family and food to friendship and help from others, Jesus invites us to slow down, notice blessings, and say thank you out loud.

Kids will learn:

Why only one healed man returned to thank Jesus

How gratitude changes our attitude

Why saying thank you matters to God and people

Simple ways to practice thankfulness every day

How to notice blessings we often overlook

Scripture Referenced:
Luke 17:15 (CSB)

Today’s challenge:
Before you go to bed tonight, think of one thing you’re thankful for and say it out loud. Then thank one person this week with your actual words, not just a quick wave or shrug.

Special shoutouts to John Michael and Raleigh from Trussville, Alabama. Thanks for being part of the Carpool Crew!

Family Discussion Question:
What is one thing you can thank God for today?
