Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible: A Carpooling with Jesus Show | Bible Stories for Kids Devotionals Daily Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew! This one is a thank you, and a quick look at how the show works.
Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible goes a little deeper. Each series is five episodes on the life of one person from the Bible: where they came from, what God asked them to do, what went wrong, what changed, and why their story still matters. So far we have met Peter, Ruth, Jonah, Samuel, Rahab, Joseph, Daniel, Gideon, and more. It is great for road trips, homeschool time, or any time your family wants to learn more about the real people in the Bible.
Episode 1 of every series is free for everyone, so you can always jump in and meet a new hero. Subscribers get all five episodes and the whole story.
And to every subscriber, thank you. Because of you, we keep growing this show, we send Carpool Crew stickers to kids around the world, and Carpooling with Jesus stays free and sponsor free for every kid who listens.
About a minute and a half.

Hey Carpool Crew! We are starting a brand-new five-episode journey through one of the most relatable heroes in the whole Bible: Gideon. In episode one, we meet him hiding in a pit, threshing wheat where nobody can see him, scared of the enemy camped all around. And that is the exact moment God calls him "valiant warrior." Today is about who Gideon was before God moved, and the truth that God sees who you can become even when you feel small and scared. A great one for any kid walking into a new school year feeling little.
Today's One Thing: God sees who you can become, even when you feel small and scared.
Scripture: Judges 6:12 (CSB)
The arc:* Episode 1: Hiding in the Winepress (Backstory)* Episode 2: Go in the Strength You Have (Calling)* Episode 3: Laying Out the Fleece (Conflict and doubt)* Episode 4: Just 300 (Turning Point)* Episode 5: Strength Out of Weakness (Legacy)

Hey Carpool Crew,
Most kids know Daniel because of the lions. But long before the lions' den, Daniel was a teenager who got taken from his home. Today on Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible, Pastor Justin starts a brand-new five-episode journey with Daniel by going back to the very beginning, when King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem and marched Daniel and his three friends hundreds of miles to Babylon.
Babylon tried to erase everything about them, even giving them new names to push God out. But Daniel learned the truth that held him steady for the rest of his life: God had not stayed back in Jerusalem. God went to Babylon too. Daniel had been taken from his home, but he had not been taken from his God.
This episode is for every kid who has ever felt dropped somewhere new and scary, a new school, a new house, a back-and-forth between two homes, a new team where they knew no one. About 10 minutes, kid-friendly, with a real-life takeaway parents can talk through on the drive.
Today's One Thing: You can be dropped somewhere new and scary and still belong to God. He goes where you go.
Scripture: Daniel 1:6 (CSB)

Hey Carpool Crew!
This week we're starting a five-episode journey through the life of Joseph, one of the most surprising heroes in the Bible. In Episode 1, we go back to the beginning. Joseph is seventeen, the favorite son in a complicated family, and God gives him a dream that nobody around him is ready to hear. The reaction is fast and brutal. By the end of Genesis 37, Joseph is sold by his own brothers and headed to Egypt. The dream God gave him is still alive. The people closest to him are not.
 
For parents listening with your kids: this episode is a doorway into a real conversation about what to do when the people in your child's life don't celebrate what God is doing in them. We name the pain honestly and we anchor it in who God says they are.
 
Today's One Thing: Sometimes the people closest to you won't understand what God is doing in your life. Stay rooted in who God says you are.
 
Scripture: Genesis 37:5 (CSB)
 
The arc:
* Episode 1: When People Don't Get You (Backstory)
* Episode 2: When You're Far From Home (Slavery and Potiphar's house)
* Episode 3: Faithful in the Hard Place (False accusation and prison)
* Episode 4: When God Lifts You Up (Pharaoh and elevation)
* Episode 5: The Forgiveness That Saves a Family (Reunion and legacy)

Hey Carpool Crew!
Who was Rahab, and why would God choose her to play such an important role in one of the Bible's most incredible stories?
In Episode 1 of our five-part series on Rahab the Brave Believer, we travel to the ancient city of Jericho, one of the oldest fortified cities in the world. As Joshua prepares the Israelites to enter the Promised Land, two spies are sent into the city and find themselves at the home of an unexpected woman named Rahab.
At first glance, Rahab seems like the last person anyone would expect God to use. She lived on the edge of society, carried a difficult reputation, and wasn't part of God's chosen people. Yet God saw something deeper.
Join Pastor Justin as we discover how God often chooses people the world overlooks and why Rahab's story is still encouraging kids and families thousands of years later.
Kids will learn:
• Who Rahab was and where she lived • Why Jericho was such an important city • Why the Israelite spies came to Rahab's house • How God sees people differently than the world does • Why no one is invisible to God
Key Scriptures: Joshua 2:1-3 1 Samuel 16:7
Discussion Questions:
Has there ever been a time you felt overlooked?
What would change about your day tomorrow if you really believed God sees you right where you are?
Rahab's story begins with a powerful reminder: God sees people others ignore. While the world often focuses on popularity, success, appearance, or status, God looks at the heart. The same God who saw Rahab in Jericho sees you today.
This episode helps kids understand that they are known, valued, and loved by God, regardless of their mistakes, circumstances, or what others think about them.

Hey Carpool Crew!Welcome back to Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible! In today’s episode, we continue the story of Samuel and explore a turning point that changed Israel forever. 
As Samuel grows older, the people of Israel make a big request—they want a king. But this wasn’t just about leadership… it revealed something deeper going on in their hearts.
In this episode, kids will learn:
How Samuel became a trusted prophet across Israel
What life was like before Israel had kings
What judges were and how they led the nation
Why Samuel’s sons created a problem for the people
What it really meant when Israel asked for a king
Why wanting to be “like everyone else” can lead us in the wrong direction
Even after God warned them, the people still chose their own way—and that decision would shape the future of Israel.
📖 Scripture Focus: 1 Samuel 8 (CSB)
Sometimes what we want isn’t what’s best.God knows what we truly need—even when we don’t.
🚗💨 Thanks for riding along on Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible.Next episode, we’ll meet Saul—the man who looked exactly like the king people wanted… but whose story teaches us that appearances can be deceiving.
And remember: God isn’t trying to hold you back—He’s trying to lead you well.

Hey Carpool Crew!
Welcome to Episode 1 of our Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible series exploring the story Jesus told about The Unforgiving Servant in Matthew 18.
In this five-episode series, we will hear the same story from five different perspectives so we can better understand what Jesus was teaching His disciples about forgiveness.
In today’s episode, we hear the story from the servant who was forgiven a massive debt by the king.
Jesus describes a servant who owed an enormous amount of money, far more than he could ever repay. When the servant begged for mercy, something unexpected happened. The king felt compassion and forgave the entire debt.

Hey Carpool Crew!
Welcome to Episode 2 in our Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible series exploring the story Jesus told about The Unforgiving Servant.
In this five-episode series, we hear the same story from different perspectives so we can better understand what Jesus was teaching about forgiveness.
In Episode 1, we heard from the servant who was forgiven a massive debt by the king.
In today’s episode, we hear from the fellow servant. He owed a much smaller amount of money and hoped for patience so he could pay it back.
But something surprising happened. The servant who had just been forgiven a huge debt refused to forgive him.
This part of the story helps us understand something important. Forgiveness matters, and refusing to forgive hurts more than one person.
Jesus told this story so we could see how powerful mercy really is and why forgiveness helps relationships heal instead of breaking them.
