Hey Carpool Crew,

Some days a grumpy mood rolls in like a cloud and parks right over a kid's head, no real reason needed. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where we give thanks in everything, not for everything. Grumpy makes the brain hunt for what's wrong. Thankful makes it hunt for what's right. They can't both run the show. So when a kid names three real thank-yous, the grumpy has to start scooting over.

This Tuesday episode hands kids three things to try this week: name three real thank-yous when a grumpy mood parks over you, whisper a quick prayer to see what's good, and ask the heart question, am I letting one bad thing block out all the good things? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.

Today's One Thing: Naming three thank-yous can turn a grumpy day around.

Hey Carpool Crew,

Somewhere in the middle of summer, kids hit the slump where every day feels the same and they're just bored. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Proverbs 25:2, where God loves to conceal a good thing and then call us to go investigate. Boredom isn't the end of the fun. It might be the invitation right before it. God tucks good things nearby, not to keep them from us, but because He loves the joy of us finding them.

This Monday episode hands kids three things to try this week: go on a treasure hunt instead of waiting for fun to arrive, whisper a quick prayer to be shown something good, and ask the heart question, am I waiting to be entertained or willing to go looking? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.

Today's One Thing: Boredom can be a treasure hunt for the good God hides in plain sight.

Scripture: Proverbs 25:2 (CSB)

Hey Carpool Crew,

Anybody can be respectful when everything's easy. The real test is the hard moment. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Ephesians 6:1-2, where the Bible tells kids to honor their father and mother. Honor means treating someone like they matter, with your words and your tone and your attitude. And the moment it counts most is the inconvenient one, when you're tired and you'd rather grumble.

This Friday episode hands kids three things to try this week: do what your parents ask without the sigh and the eye roll, whisper a quick prayer when the grumble comes, and ask the heart question, do I only honor my parents when it's easy? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.

Today's One Thing: Honoring your parents counts most when it's inconvenient.
