Hey Carpool Crew! We're starting a brand-new five-episode journey with John the Baptist. Episode 1 starts before John is born: an angel beside the altar, a priest who loses his voice for doubting, and a whole town asking what this child will become. The answer comes before...

Hey Carpool Crew! Guest host Cathi takes us out to the wilderness, where God skips the emperor, the governor and the high priest and speaks to a man in camel hair eating locusts. John preaches the simplest sermon in the Bible (share your extra shirt...

Hey Carpool Crew! Jesus finally walks up to the river. Guest host Cathi tells the story of the baptism, the open sky, and the day John sent his own followers after Jesus and was glad about it. When the followers left behind seem jealous, John gives...

Hey Carpool Crew! John tells a king the truth and ends up in chains. From a stone cell he sends Jesus the most honest question in the Bible: are you the one, or should we expect someone else? Guest host Cathi shows what Jesus did with...

Hey Carpool Crew! The finale. Guest host Cathi tells the hard part plainly and keeps it short: Herod's foolish promise, John's death, and Jesus going away to a quiet place. Then the turn. At the river where John used to preach, the crowd says he never...

Hey Carpool Crew! We're kicking off a brand-new five-episode journey with Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived. But episode one starts before the wisdom: a young man in a palace full of David stories, a brother who grabs for the crown, and a dying king's last words that point past fame, straight at God.

Parents, this one is for every kid living in somebody's shadow: the sibling comparison, the famous last name, the teacher who expects a repeat. David's charge in 1 Kings 2:3 reframes it all: you don't fill someone else's shoes, you walk God's path in...

Hey Carpool Crew! This one is a thank you, and a quick look at how the show works.

Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible goes a little deeper. Each series is five episodes on the life of one person from the Bible: where they came from, what God asked them to do, what went wrong, what changed, and why their story still matters. So far we have met Peter, Ruth, Jonah, Samuel, Rahab, Joseph, Daniel, Gideon, and more. It is great for road trips, homeschool time, or any time your family wants to learn more about the...

Hey Carpool Crew! We are starting a brand-new five-episode journey through one of the most relatable heroes in the whole Bible: Gideon. In episode one, we meet him hiding in a pit, threshing wheat where nobody can see him, scared of the enemy camped all around. And that is the exact moment God calls him "valiant warrior." Today is about who Gideon was before God moved, and the truth that God sees who you can become even when you feel small and scared. A great one for any kid walking into a new school year feeling little.

Hey Carpool Crew,

Most kids know Daniel because of the lions. But long before the lions' den, Daniel was a teenager who got taken from his home. Today on Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible, Pastor Justin starts a brand-new five-episode journey with Daniel by going back to the very beginning, when King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem and marched Daniel and his three friends hundreds of miles to Babylon.

Babylon tried to erase everything about them, even giving them new names to push God out. But Daniel learned the truth that held him steady for the...

Hey Carpool Crew!

This week we're starting a five-episode journey through the life of Joseph, one of the most surprising heroes in the Bible. In Episode 1, we go back to the beginning. Joseph is seventeen, the favorite son in a complicated family, and God gives him a dream that nobody around him is ready to hear. The reaction is fast and brutal. By the end of Genesis 37, Joseph is sold by his own brothers and headed to Egypt. The dream God gave him is still alive. The people closest to him are not.

Hey Carpool Crew!

Who was Rahab, and why would God choose her to play such an important role in one of the Bible's most incredible stories?

In Episode 1 of our five-part series on Rahab the Brave Believer, we travel to the ancient city of Jericho, one of the oldest fortified cities in the world. As Joshua prepares the Israelites to enter the Promised Land, two spies are sent into the city and find themselves at the home of an unexpected woman named Rahab.

At first glance, Rahab seems like the last person anyone...

Hey Carpool Crew!
In today’s episode of Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible, we begin our journey with Ruth, one of Scripture’s most surprising and inspiring heroes. Her story doesn’t start with victory or celebration… it starts with loss, loneliness, and a life-changing choice.

As we explore Ruth Chapter 1, we dive into the history, the culture, and the brave decision Ruth made to stay with Naomi — a decision that will eventually shape the entire story of God’s people.

Kids will learn:

What a famine really meant in ancient Israel

Hey Carpool Crew! 👋
It’s the final episode in our Peter series—and it’s one of the most powerful comeback stories in the entire Bible.

After denying Jesus three times, Peter feels broken and unsure if he still belongs. But on a quiet beach by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus meets him with breakfast, forgiveness, and a brand-new purpose. 🍞🐟

In this episode of Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible, we’ll explore why Jesus used a charcoal fire (a symbol of restoration), what it meant when He said, “Feed My sheep,” and how Peter went from a fis...

Hey Carpool Crew! 👋
In today’s episode of Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible, Peter has one of the biggest moments of his life — and one of his most humbling ones, too.

First, he boldly declares that Jesus is “the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus gives him a brand-new identity: Peter, the rock — the one He’ll use to build His church.

But just a few verses later, Peter completely misunderstands what kind of Messiah Jesus really is. He tries to protect Jesus from the cross… and Jesus rebukes him with the words, “...

Today, Peter does something unforgettable — he walks on water. 🌊

In this episode of Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible, we dive into one of the boldest moments in Peter’s life. The wind is howling, the waves are crashing, and Jesus is walking toward the disciples on the Sea of Galilee. Peter steps out of the boat with courage… but then his faith starts to wobble.

We’ll explore what really happened that night — from the geography of the Sea of Galilee and the design of ancient fishing boats, to what “walking on water”...

Hey Carpool Crew! 👋
Welcome to the very first episode of Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible!

Today, we’re kicking off our deep dive into the life of Peter — before he ever walked on water or became one of the leaders of the early church. We’ll travel back to the Sea of Galilee to see how an ordinary fisherman, tired from a long night of no catches, met Jesus and had his entire life turned upside down.

You’ll learn what fishing was really like in Peter’s world, how Jewish boys trained to become rab...
