Why I made this.

Hi, I'm Pastor Justin. Dad of four, husband to Brittany, and Online Pastor at Mariners Church.

Most family devotions never stuck for us. The car ride to school did. So I built the thing I wished existed: a daily 5-minute conversation about Jesus for the moments families already share.

Three Shows. One Carpool.

The drive to school, the ride to practice, and the wind-down at bedtime. A show for the moments your busy family already shares.

Goodnight Psalms
Heroes of the Bible

What Parents Are Saying

Loved by parents.

“I stumbled upon this podcast a few months ago, and we listened to it in the car on the way to school every single morning. It is very short, but always has such a great story and purpose! 100% recommend this podcast. My kids are nine and 12.”

MegNicole24

Parent · Kids 9 and 12

“My kids and I started listening to this podcast on the way to school. My son is 10 and my daughter is 5. We all love it. It's short enough that it grasps their attention but deep enough that it helps them to think biblically and shapes their heart before they start their day. This mom is so grateful! Keep producing Fruit on the younger generation.”

Mom · Kids 10 and 5

“This podcast is a lifesaver. It's relevant. It's very well made for the kids but even as an adult I appreciate the content. It helps us all be better versions of ourselves.”

“Carpooling with Jesus gets my kids engaged with the Bible and Jesus, but helps us adults learn too. My husband prefers it to some "adult" devotionals. It's been a blessing to all of us.”

Mom · Kids 4.5 and 2

“We listen every morning on the way to school. Not only is it great for my 9-year-old but also for me as a teacher. A sweet quick dose of Jesus to start the day.”

“I've been looking for ways to pepper Jesus throughout our busy days, and this has been such a wonderful way to start our drive to school. The length is great, the topics are relevant, his voice and speaking speed is perfect.”
