July 17th: The Greatest Kind of Friend | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you’re cruising to your next summer adventure or just headed home, Pastor Justin is here with a powerful reminder: real friendship looks a lot like Jesus. In today’s episode, we explore John 15:13 (CSB) — “No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends.” Jesus didn’t just say it—He lived it. Right before going to the cross, He taught His disciples that true love is sacrificial, strong, and loyal. This kind of friendship isn’t about popularity or always getting along—it’s about serving, giving, and loving even when it’s hard. 🎒 Today’s Big Lesson: Being a great friend doesn’t mean being perfect—it means putting others first. Whether it’s letting someone else have the last cookie or standing up for a friend at recess, Jesus shows us how. 🗣️ What Would Jesus Say Today? “You don’t have to be perfect to be My friend—I already chose you. And I showed you how to love by giving everything for you.” ✅ Real-life applications for kids: Let someone else go first Stand up for a friend Include someone new Forgive quickly 📣 Parents: If this episode encouraged your family, share it with your school, small group, or church—and let’s grow a generation of kids who love like Jesus. 💬 Car Chat Question: What’s one way you can be the kind of friend Jesus described—someone who gives, loves, and puts others first? 🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO 📺 YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ 💻 Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ 📱 Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ 🚗 Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Bible stories for kids, kids devotional podcast, Jesus podcast for children, short Christian podcast for kids, podcast for kids in the car, faith-based podcast for children, Christian content for school mornings, daily Bible podcast for kids, morning devotions for families, Bible podcast for elementary kids, Jesus stories kids love, teaching kids about faith, helping kids follow Jesus, Christian parenting resources, raising Christian children, encouraging Christian kids, learning about Jesus for kids, Christian media for families.
