August 28th: You Can’t Do Life Without Jesus | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re buckled into the backseat with your lunchbox, helping a sibling with their hoodie, or heading out the door with a sleepy smile — I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here.

Have you ever tried to do something that just didn’t work? Like running a race with no shoes, using a game controller with no batteries, or jumping into a pool with no water? 😅 It doesn’t work — and that’s exactly what Jesus was talking about.

In John 15:5, Jesus says:

👉 “You can do nothing without me.”

That’s a big statement. It means we weren’t created to do life alone. We need Jesus — every day, in every moment.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• 
  

  Why trying to live without Jesus is like being a branch without a vine.

  
  


• 
  

  What Jesus might say if He were sitting next to you in the car right now.

  
  


• 
  

  3 simple ways to stay close to Him every day:

  
  
  
  
  1. 
     

     Start your day with love and kindness — how you treat others matters.

     
     
  
  
  2. 
     

     Pause and pray — God is listening and ready to help.

     
     
  
  
  3. 
     

     Stay connected even when life feels messy — Jesus is with you in every situation.

     
     
  
  
  
  

Whether your morning is smooth or totally out of routine, Jesus wants to walk with you. He’s not asking you to be perfect — He’s asking you to stay close and trust Him to help you grow strong from the inside out.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip: If today’s episode encouraged you or your kids, mention it to another parent at church this weekend — and help spread the word about Carpooling with Jesus!
