BONUS: HYGIENE Why Taking Care of Your Body Matters | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus May 24, 2026

Show notes

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?

May 20 | Choose People Over Your Own Comfort | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional May 20, 2026

Show notes

Hey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode, Pastor Justin talks about a moment in Mark chapter 6 when Jesus and His disciples were completely exhausted and desperately needed rest. But when they arrived at a quiet place, thousands of people were already waiting for them.

Instead of getting frustrated or sending everyone away, Jesus responded with compassion. Even though He was tired, He chose to care for people anyway.

This episode helps kids understand that kindness and love are often most important when we don’t feel like giving them. Whether it’s helping a sibling, listening to a friend, or pitching in at home, Jesus teaches us to put people before our own comfort.

Kids will learn:

Why Jesus chose compassion even when He was exhausted
How to help others when you feel tired or frustrated
Why kindness matters most in everyday moments
Practical ways to serve family members and friends
How following Jesus sometimes means putting others first

Scripture Referenced:
Mark 6:34 (CSB)

Today’s challenge:
Before saying “no” when someone asks for help this week, pause and ask yourself: “How can I help?” Then choose one kind thing you can do for someone else without complaining or making a big deal about it.

May 19 | One Conversation Can Change Everything | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional May 19, 2026

Show notes

Hey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the powerful story of Jesus meeting the woman at the well from John chapter 4. What started as one simple conversation turned into a life-changing moment that impacted an entire town.

The woman came to the well alone, probably trying to avoid people. But Jesus noticed her, talked with her kindly, and treated her like she mattered. Because she did.

This episode reminds kids that small moments of kindness, attention, and conversation can make a huge difference in someone’s life. Sometimes all it takes is saying hello, asking someone to sit with you, or noticing the person everyone else overlooks.

Kids will learn:

Why Jesus talked to the Samaritan woman when others wouldn’t
How kindness and conversation can change someone’s day
Why listening matters just as much as talking
Practical ways to include others at school and in everyday life
How God can use one small moment to do something big

May 13 | Jesus Notices the People Others Ignore | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional May 13, 2026

Show notes

Hey Carpool Crew! Today we’re talking about something every kid has experienced at some point: being ignored. Maybe you’ve felt left out before. Maybe you’ve seen someone else sitting alone, getting overlooked, or feeling invisible. In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares the story of Zacchaeus from Luke 19 and reminds us that Jesus notices people others ignore.

When everyone else overlooked Zacchaeus, Jesus stopped, called him by name, and invited Himself to Zacchaeus’ house. That moment changed everything. And today, Jesus wants us to notice people too.

Kids will learn:
• Why Jesus paid attention to overlooked people
• How one small invitation can change someone’s day
• Simple ways to include others at school
• How Jesus can help us become inviters instead of ignorers

Main Truth:
Jesus notices people others ignore.

Bible Verse:
Luke 19:5 (CSB)
“When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, hurry and come down because today it is necessary for me to stay at your house.’”

Discussion Question:
Name one person that you can invite today that others may ignore?

Parents:
This episode is a great opportunity to talk with your kids about kindness, inclusion, and paying attention to kids who may feel left out. Helping children become inviters instead of observers is one small way we help them become more like Jesus.
