Hey Carpool Crew! Whether you're on your way to swim lessons, running errands, or relaxing at home with your favorite snack—I'm Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here.

In today’s Carpooling with Jesus devotional, we’re talking about Gideon—a guy who thought he was way too weak, too small, and too ordinary to do anything big for God. But guess what? God had different plans. If you’ve ever felt nervous, unsure, or like you're not enough, this episode is for you.

We explore Judges 6:12 — “The Lord is with you, valiant warrior.”
Even when Gideon was hiding and scared, God called him brave. Why? Because God doesn’t look at what we are today—He sees who we can become when we trust Him.

✨ In this episode, kids will learn:

How God sees potential in ordinary people
What to do when you feel scared or not good enough
How faith can make you strong, just like it did for Gideon
Why Jesus loves using regular kids to do extraordinary things

🙌 No matter how small you feel, you are chosen, brave, and never alone.
