  • Joseph Ep1 | When People Don't Get You | Episode 1 of 5 | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible
    Jun 22 2026

    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)

  • Rahab Ep 1 | God Saw Rahab | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible
    Jun 2 2026

    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.

    ⁠https://carpoolingwithjesus.com⁠

    In this Christian kids podcast episode, children and families will learn about Rahab, the city of Jericho, Joshua and the Promised Land, Bible heroes, God's love for outsiders, and how God sees the heart. This Bible story for kids teaches that God notices people others overlook and that He can use anyone for His purposes. Perfect for family devotions, Christian parenting, Bible lessons for kids, and helping children grow in faith, confidence, and their identity in God.

  • Samuel Ep 1: Samuel is Listening | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible Kids Devotional
    Apr 27 2026

    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.
