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.

What Parents Are Saying

Loved by parents.

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.

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.

My daughter and I listen every morning on the way to school. We began this tradition when she was in preschool, and it's become a meaningful part of our daily routine. I think of these moments as 'seed time,' planting God's Word in her heart each day.

My kids and I listen on the way to school and each episode is filled with scripture, a brief lesson and a great real life application. It's just the right amount of time to keep my kids attention and prompts great conversation. Thank you for this!

We listen every morning at breakfast! We also recently started bedtime Psalms and Heroes of the Bible and love those too. Thanks so much for making it easier to disciple my kids!

This podcast isn't just a good way, it's a GREAT way to spend your drive. Short, practical, and helpful in getting my kids to talk about Jesus.
