BONUS: August 16th When I Am Afraid, I Will Trust in God | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Maybe you’re hanging out at the breakfast table, planning your weekend, or still lounging in your pajamas — welcome to a special Saturday episode of Carpooling with Jesus! Today we’re talking about something everyone feels sometimes: fear. Even the bravest people — David in the Bible, me (Pastor Justin), and yes, even you — get scared. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to face fear alone. Our verse today is short but powerful: 👉 “When I am afraid, I will trust in you.” — Psalm 56:3 (CSB) David wrote this while he was running for his life, afraid and unsure of what was next. Instead of pretending to be strong, he prayed, “I’m afraid, but I trust you.” That’s real courage. If Jesus were sitting next to you today, He’d remind you: “I see your fear. I know it feels big. But I’m bigger — and I’m right here with you.” 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why it’s okay to admit your fears to God. How trusting Him is the bravest move you can make. Real-life ways to be courageous, even when you feel scared. A story about my daughter Everly learning to be brave on a big waterslide! Remember: Bravery isn’t about faking strength — it’s about trusting God to give you strength right where you are. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip: This weekend, share this episode with other parents at church or in your Facebook group.
