May 29 | Stop Walking Past | Carpooling with Jesus Devotional for Kids

2026-05-29

Hey Carpool Crew, Kids have a short list of who counts. The friends they sit with at lunch. The kids on their team. The group at recess. Everybody else gets walked past. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Luke 10:36 and the story of the Good Samaritan. The point lands different for kids than they expect. A priest walked past. A temple worker walked past. The Samaritan, who nobody thought would help, stopped. He bandaged the man on the side of the road. He put him on his own donkey.

Hey Carpool Crew,

Kids have a short list of who counts. The friends they sit with at lunch. The kids on their team. The group at recess. Everybody else gets walked past. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin walks kids through Luke 10:36 and the story of the Good Samaritan. The point lands different for kids than they expect. A priest walked past. A temple worker walked past. The Samaritan, who nobody thought would help, stopped. He bandaged the man on the side of the road. He put him on his own donkey. He paid for his room at the inn and told the innkeeper, "If it costs more, I'll pay when I come back." Jesus' question lands on all of us. Which one was the neighbor?

This Friday episode gives kids three real moves to try this weekend. The stop-and-check move. The helpful-without-being-asked move. The "ask Jesus who I keep walking past" move. About 5 minutes, kid-friendly, with a discussion question to land on before the weekend kicks in.

Today's One Thing: Be a neighbor to whoever is right in front of you.

Scripture: Luke 10:36 (CSB)
