👋 Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus!
Hey carpool crew! 🚗 Whether you’re headed to school, enjoying breakfast, or in the middle of homeschool, today’s episode is about something super close to Jesus’ heart: caring for people who feel left out or alone.
In Matthew 25:35-40, Jesus teaches something powerful—when we care for the lonely, we're actually loving Him. From offering a seat at lunch to simply saying something kind, every little act of love matters more than you think.
🎯 Takeaways from Today’s Ride:
Jesus notices when we help others
Small acts of kindness = big moments of love
Friendship is one of the best ways to live like Jesus
When we care for someone who feels alone, we’re showing love to Jesus Himself
Pastor Justin shares what it means to be like Jesus in everyday places—like the lunchroom or the playground—and how we can all be that one friend who makes someone feel seen.
💬 Car Question:Who’s someone you can show friendship to today?
🚦 One Thing for the Ride:When you care for someone who feels alone, you’re showing love to Jesus Himself.
👨👩👧👦 Parents: If this message encouraged your family, text the episode to a friend! Let’s keep turning everyday moments into faith-filled ones.

👋 Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus!
🚗 Today’s story is all about one of Jesus' favorite ways to show love—kindness. And not just kindness to our friends, but kindness to everyone, even people who seem different from us.
In John 4:9-10, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well—someone the world said He shouldn’t even talk to. But Jesus breaks those barriers with respect, friendship, and love, reminding us that kindness knows no limits.
🎯 Takeaways from Today’s Ride:
Jesus chose kindness even when others didn’t
God’s love is for everyone, not just those who look or live like us
Real kindness crosses cultures, cliques, and comfort zones
A simple lunch seat or smile can reflect Jesus' love in powerful ways
Pastor Justin also shares a personal story about his friend Raj and how a lunchroom friendship—spicy food and all—taught him to love like Jesus.
💬 Car Question:How can you show kindness today—even to someone who’s different from you?
🚦 One Thing for the Ride:Jesus loves everyone, and kindness is for everyone too.
👨👩👧👦 Parents: If this episode encouraged your kids, post about it on Facebook or tag a friend who’d love Carpooling with Jesus. We’re all about helping families bring Jesus into the everyday moments.

👋 Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus!
Today wraps up our week with Samson, and it’s a powerful reminder of something we all need to hear: Even when we mess up, God can still use us. 🙌
In this episode of Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks through the final chapter of Samson’s story in Judges 16:28, where Samson—broken, blind, and alone—prays one more time:“Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more.”
And guess what? God does.
🎯 Big Takeaways:
Samson gave away his secret and lost everything… but God wasn’t done with him.
Grace means God still loves us, forgives us, and gives second chances—even when we’ve blown it.
One honest prayer can change everything.
Jesus doesn’t cancel people—He restores them.
From Peter to Zacchaeus to Samson, the Bible is full of people who made mistakes but still got used by God—and you can be one of those people too.
💬 Car Question:Can you think of a time you made a mistake, but were given another chance?
🙏 One Thing for the Ride:Even when we mess up, God can still use us.
📣 Parents: If this podcast encouraged you and your kids this week, share it with a friend or post about it. We love seeing new families join the Carpooling with Jesus crew!

Not all strength looks like Samson’s. 💪 Sometimes it's standing up for a friend, choosing kindness, or using your talents to bless someone else.

🎯 Takeaways:
Samson’s strength came from God, not just big muscles
Your talents, courage, and kindness are gifts too

Whether you're on your way to church in your Easter best, munching on cinnamon rolls, or holding a chocolate bunny in the car, I’m so glad you’re here.
This bonus episode is all about why Easter matters and how it changes everything—forever.

🕊️ What Does Resurrection Mean?Jesus didn’t just come back to life—He was resurrected. That means He’ll never die again. His body was brand new, never to get sick or hurt. And guess what? One day, He promises we’ll be resurrected too, just like Him. That’s what Easter is all about:🟣 Hope forever🟢 Life forever🟡 Jesus with us—always

👨👩👧👦 Parent Tip:After church, try asking your kids:👉 “What’s one way we can celebrate that Jesus is alive—not just today, but every day?”Simple faith conversations turn Easter into a lifestyle—not just a holiday.

👋 Hey Friends!Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus — your 5-minute devotional podcast that turns everyday rides and routines into real moments of faith for kids and families!
Today, we’re zooming in on a famous Bible story with a surprising twist—David and Goliath… but not just the big battle. We’re focusing on the five smooth stones David picked before he faced the giant.
📖 Verse of the Day:1 Samuel 17:40 –"Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag, and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine."
💡 In This Episode:What David’s five stones represent: courage, faith, preparation, obedience, and trust
How God uses our choices—even small ones—for big things
A Lego contest story featuring a kid named Beckett and his “5 heart-stones”
Why what you carry into a challenge matters
🧠 One Thing for the Ride:God can use what you choose to do something great.
🧱 Beckett’s Story:Beckett entered a Lego contest and felt nervous. But instead of focusing on the challenge, he chose five “stones” to carry with him in his heart:🧠 Creativity💛 Kindness💪 Confidence😄 Joy🙏 Faith
Even though things didn’t go perfectly, Beckett stayed calm, kept going, and made something amazing—because he chose the right things before the moment got big.
💬 What Would Jesus Say?"I see what you carry with you—and when you choose faith, courage, and kindness, I can do great things through you. Trust Me!"
❓ Question of the Day:If you could pick five things to carry into a big moment—what would they be?
🙌 Parent Tip:This is a perfect conversation starter in the car or around the table:“What are the five things we want to carry with you today or in tough moments you face?”
Please encourage your child to write theirs on a sticky note or card!
