Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you're cruising home from a weekend adventure or still in your jammies on a slow morning, this episode is all about one of God’s greatest (and most overlooked) gifts: rest.

Today, Pastor Justin takes us back to Mount Sinai, where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments—including one big reminder we often forget: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” – Exodus 20:8 (CSB)

In this episode, your kids will learn:

• What “Sabbath” really means (hint: it’s more than just a nap)

• Why God commanded His people to rest after rescuing them from slavery

• How Jesus redefined Sabbath as a relationship, not just a rule

• Fun and practical ways kids can slow down and spend time with God—even in a busy world

Jesus didn’t design us to be busy all the time. He designed us to breathe, laugh, play, and rest in His love. Tune in for a kid-friendly lesson full of truth, joy, and faith on the go.

💬 Discussion Question: What’s one thing you could do this week to rest and spend time with God as a family?

Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you're on your way to swim lessons, running errands, or relaxing at home with your favorite snack—I'm Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here.

In today’s Carpooling with Jesus devotional, we’re talking about Gideon—a guy who thought he was way too weak, too small, and too ordinary to do anything big for God. But guess what? God had different plans. If you’ve ever felt nervous, unsure, or like you're not enough, this episode is for you.

We explore Judges 6:12 — “The Lord is with you, valiant warrior.” Even when Gideon was hiding and scared, God called him brave. Why? Because God doesn’t look at what we are today—He sees who we can become when we trust Him.

✨ In this episode, kids will learn:

• How God sees potential in ordinary people

• What to do when you feel scared or not good enough

• How faith can make you strong, just like it did for Gideon

• Why Jesus loves using regular kids to do extraordinary things

🙌 No matter how small you feel, you are chosen, brave, and never alone.

🚗 Parent Tip: If this encouraged your child today, share this episode with other families—on social media, in your neighborhood group, or with your church. Let’s spread the word about Carpooling with Jesus!

❓ Before you go, talk about this as a family: What’s one thing you think God might want you to do—even if it feels a little scary or too big for you?

🎆 Happy 4th of July, Carpool Crew! Whether you're headed to a BBQ, a parade, or just chillin’ with popsicles and sparklers, Pastor Justin is here—and today we’re talking about true freedom 🇺🇸❤️✝️

In Galatians 5:13, Paul reminds us:

"You were called to be free... but don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love."

Today’s episode helps kids understand:

• What real freedom looks like through Jesus

• How Paul’s letter to the Galatians still matters today

• That freedom isn’t just for relaxing—it’s for serving, loving, and living boldly

• How simple acts like sharing cookies or including neighbors show freedom in action

🎇 And if Jesus were sitting next to you during tonight’s fireworks, He’d say: “You’re not just free in your country—you’re free in your life. Free to love. Free to serve. Free to shine.”

🎧 Before you go, answer this together as a family: What’s one way you can use your freedom this weekend to serve someone like Jesus would?
