July 10 | When Telling the Truth Is Hard | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

Hey Carpool Crew,   The second a kid messes up, the brain starts building a story to stay out of trouble. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin opens Ephesians 4:25 and reframes honesty for kids. We belong to each other like one family, so telling the truth, even the hard truth, is one of the ways we actually love the people around us. A lie protects you for a minute. The truth protects the people you love for a long time.   This Friday episode hands kids three things to try this week: tell the truth about something they've been hiding before it gets heavier, whisper a one-sentence prayer for courage, and ask the heart question, am I being honest to protect myself or because I love them? About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on together.   Today's One Thing: Telling the truth is one way we love the people around us.   Scripture: Ephesians 4:25 (CSB)   https://carpoolingwithjesus.com   Subscribe https://carpoolingwithjesus.com/cwj-plus   GET INVOLVED * Request Free Stickers: https://bit.ly/CarpoolingStickers * Book a Shout Out: https://bit.ly/booktheshoutout * Submit a Question from the Backseat: bit.ly/AskTheBackseat   CARPOOLING WITH JESUS COMMUNITY * Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB * YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ * Instagram: https://bit.ly/carpooling-insta   Christian podcast for kids, Kids devotional podcast, Daily devotional for kids, Daily Christian podcast for children, Bible devotional for kids, Kids Christian podcast, Christian family podcast, Family faith podcast, Christian parenting, Christian family devotional, Bible stories for kids, Bible lessons for kids, Scripture for kids, Learning about Jesus, Following Jesus, Faith-building for kids, Christian character for kids, Biblical values for children, Christian discipleship for kids, Raising kids to follow Jesus, Christian resources for families, Honesty for kids, Kindness for kids, Courage for kids, Forgiveness for kids, Obedience for kids, Gratitude for kids, Friendship for kids, Trusting God, Christian encouragement for kids, Carpooling with Jesus, Christian audio devotional, Daily Bible podcast for kids, Family devotions, Summer devotions for families, School commute podcast, Car rides with kids
