Hey Carpool Crew,Getting passed over stings way more than it should. A kid stands there acting like it's fine, but inside it hurts. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Psalm 34:18, where the Lord is near the brokenhearted. When a kid's heart cracks, God doesn't back away. He leans in closer, which is the exact opposite of how it feels. Not getting picked by people does not mean a kid isn't wanted by God. People can overlook them. God never does.This Friday episode hands kids three things to try this week: tell God exactly how the hurt feels instead of stuffing it, whisper a quick prayer that God is near, and ask the heart question, do I let one not-picked moment tell me I'm worth less, or do I let God tell me the truth? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.Today's One Thing: God is closest to you when your feelings are hurt.Scripture: Psalm 34:18 (CSB)https://carpoolingwithjesus.com Download the ROAD TRIP game: https://apple.co/4xFb21N Subscribe: https://carpoolingwithjesus.com/cwj-plus GET INVOLVEDRequest Free Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickersBook a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutoutSubmit a Question from the Backseat: https://bit.ly/AskTheBackseat CARPOOLING WITH JESUS COMMUNITYFacebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFBYouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJInstagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-insta Christian podcast for kids, Kids devotional podcast, Daily devotional for kids, Daily Christian podcast for children, Bible devotional for kids, Kids Christian podcast, Christian family podcast, Family faith podcast, Christian parenting, Christian family devotional, Bible stories for kids, Bible lessons for kids, Scripture for kids, Learning about Jesus, Following Jesus, Faith-building for kids, Christian character for kids, Biblical values for children, Christian discipleship for kids, Raising kids to follow Jesus, Christian resources for families, Honesty for kids, Kindness for kids, Courage for kids, Forgiveness for kids, Obedience for kids, Gratitude for kids, Friendship for kids, Trusting God, Christian encouragement for kids, Carpooling with Jesus, Christian audio devotional, Daily Bible podcast for kids, Family devotions, Summer devotions for families, School commute podcast, Car rides with kids

Read: Genesis 50:15-21; Romans 8:28, 38-39 Kate squeezed sand between her toes as she watched a young mother swing her daughter around and catapult her into the water. The girl giggled and called out for more. Kate looked at her mom and remembered when she was strong and healthy enough to do the same thing with her. Now if Mom wanted to get in the water at the beach, she had to crawl through the sand until she reached the water’s edge. Walking was just too painful most days. Mom patted the blanket, and Kate curled up next to her. “Mom, why do you have this awful sickness? Why can’t the doctors help you? I’ve been praying every day, but it seems like God isn’t listening!” Mom stroked Kate’s silky hair. “I don’t know, sweetie, but I’m so thankful you’re praying for me. Don’t give up! Remember what we read in Romans this morning about God always being with us and using everything in our lives for good?” “I remember,” Kate said. “It’s just that all of this is so bad!” Mom nodded sadly. “It is. But we have to keep trusting that God is working in all this bad and will make something good come out of it.” “Hey!” Kate sat straight up. “That reminds me of the story of Joseph. He was thrown into a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery, and thrown in jail for something he didn’t do. But God used those bad things to place Joseph as second in command over Egypt. When there was a severe famine, Joseph was able to save many people’s lives!” Mom nodded. “Joseph trusted God, even though he didn’t understand why He would allow all those bad things to happen to him. And we need to trust God in our situation. We don’t know why He allowed me to get sick, but perhaps, like Joseph’s hardships, it will help save people’s lives by pointing them to Jesus. He did the greatest good of all by suffering and dying on a cross to save us, and we can trust Him to use everything in our lives for good too.” Kate looked at her mom. “I’ll remind us to keep trusting Him.” Mom smiled. “I’d be thankful for that. And here’s something else to be thankful for—we’re at the beach, not in a stinky jail cell!” –Savannah Coleman How about you? Do you ever wonder why God allows people you love to get sick or hurt? This world we live in is full of pain and sorrow, but we are not alone. Jesus knows what it’s like to go through pain and suffering, and He promises to be with us in everything we face and use it for good. He died and rose again so we could have a future free from pain, sickness, and death. We can trust Him. Today’s key verse: We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God. Romans 8:28 (CSB) Today’s key thought: Trust God in hard times

Hey Carpool Crew,Tonight on Goodnight Psalms, we're looking at Psalm 7:15 and learning how our choices have consequences. This verse paints a picture of someone trying to trap another person but ending up caught in their own trap. It's a reminder that bad choices often create bigger problems than we expect.Kids face opportunities every day to make choices. Sometimes it might be tempting to lie to avoid getting in trouble, cheat during a game, or say something unkind about someone else. Those choices may seem small in the moment, but they can lead to hurt, broken trust, and more problems down the road.The good news is that positive choices work the same way. When children tell the truth, even when it's difficult, they build trust. When they choose kindness instead of meanness, they bring peace. When they practice honesty, patience, and self-control, they help make the world around them a little better every day.In tonight's calming bedtime devotional, kids will be reminded that God is helping them grow wiser one choice at a time. With His guidance, they can learn to choose what is good, peaceful, and loving, even when it's hard.https://carpoolingwithjesus.comListen & SubscribeApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJoCarpooling with Jesus: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvOGoodnight Psalms: https://apple.co/4nPQBJyCarpooling with Heroes of the Bible: https://apple.co/42UWrBmSubscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribeSpotify Plus: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlusFacebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFBYouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJInstagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-instaTikTok: https://bit.ly/TikTokCarpooolingFree Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickersBook a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutoutSubmit a Question: https://bit.ly/4bgCQirGoodnight Psalms is a Christian bedtime podcast for kids that combines Scripture, prayer, and practical life lessons to help children end their day with peace.

Hey Carpool Crew,Tonight on Goodnight Psalms, we're reflecting on Psalm 7:14 and learning an important truth: our actions often begin as thoughts. Before words are spoken or choices are made, something is happening inside our hearts and minds.This verse teaches that wrong choices usually start small. Maybe it's jealousy, anger, selfishness, or the temptation to be dishonest. If we hold on to those thoughts, they can grow into actions that hurt ourselves or others. That's why God cares so much about our hearts, not just our behavior.The good news is that God wants to help us fill our hearts with better things. He wants us to grow in kindness, honesty, forgiveness, patience, and love. The more we practice those qualities, the more they become part of who we are.In tonight's calming bedtime devotional, kids will be encouraged to talk honestly with God about what's happening in their hearts and to trust Him to help them grow into wise, loving people who reflect His goodness every day.https://carpoolingwithjesus.comListen & SubscribeApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJoCarpooling with Jesus: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvOGoodnight Psalms: https://apple.co/4nPQBJyCarpooling with Heroes of the Bible: https://apple.co/42UWrBmSubscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribeSpotify Plus: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlusFacebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFBYouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJInstagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-instaTikTok: https://bit.ly/TikTokCarpooolingFree Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickersBook a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutoutSubmit a Question: https://bit.ly/4bgCQirGoodnight Psalms is a Christian bedtime podcast for kids that helps children end each day with Scripture, prayer, and peaceful reflection.

Hey Carpool Crew,Tonight's Goodnight Psalms episode explores Psalm 7:13 and the comforting truth that God sees everything. This verse uses powerful imagery to show how seriously God takes justice. He does not ignore wrongdoing, cruelty, or the ways people hurt one another. God cares deeply about what is right, good, and true.For kids, it can sometimes feel like unfair things happen without anyone noticing. But Scripture reminds us that God sees clearly. Nothing escapes His attention. He stands against evil and protects what is good. That means children can rest knowing they are never forgotten and never overlooked by God.In this calming bedtime devotional, kids will be encouraged to trust God's wisdom, His protection, and His perfect justice. As they prepare for sleep, they'll be reminded that God is watching over them and caring for them through the night.https://carpoolingwithjesus.comListen & SubscribeApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJoCarpooling with Jesus: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvOGoodnight Psalms: https://apple.co/4nPQBJyCarpooling with Heroes of the Bible: https://apple.co/42UWrBmSubscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribeSpotify Plus: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlusFacebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFBYouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJInstagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-instaTikTok: https://bit.ly/TikTokCarpooolingFree Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickersBook a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutoutSubmit a Question: https://bit.ly/4bgCQirGoodnight Psalms is a Christian bedtime podcast for kids that helps children fall asleep with Bible verses, prayer, and encouragement.

Hey Carpool Crew!What if one minute of quiet could change your whole week?In today's episode, Pastor Justin shares a simple but powerful challenge based on Psalm 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God." Summer can be full of fun, but it can also be noisy, busy, and overwhelming. Whether you're thinking about sports, vacations, friendships, or the school year ahead, sometimes your mind needs a chance to slow down.This Sunday devotional encourages kids to take a quiet pause with God before a new week begins. You'll learn why God often speaks to us in moments of stillness and how spending even 60 seconds talking and listening to Him can bring peace, comfort, and confidence for whatever lies ahead.Kids will be reminded that they don't need fancy prayers or special words. God is always ready to listen. Sometimes all it takes is slowing down long enough to remember He's with us.Today's big idea: One quiet pause with God can change how your whole week feels.https://carpoolingwithjesus.comListen & SubscribeApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4gUygJoCarpooling with Jesus: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvOGoodnight Psalms: https://apple.co/4nPQBJyCarpooling with Heroes of the Bible: https://apple.co/42UWrBmSubscribe on Spotify: https://bit.ly/SpotifySubscribeSpotify Plus: https://bit.ly/SpotifyPlusFacebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFBYouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJInstagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-instaTikTok: https://bit.ly/TikTokCarpooolingFree Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickersBook a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutoutSubmit a Question: https://bit.ly/4bgCQirCarpooling with Jesus is a Christian kids podcast that helps families start conversations about faith during everyday moments.
