January 7 | Be a Peacemaker | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew!

Today’s Carpooling with Jesus episode reminds kids how to handle drama when the week is already in full swing. Based on Matthew 5:9, this devotional teaches that Jesus calls His followers to be peacemakers, not people who make problems bigger.

Jesus explains that peacemakers do not pretend problems do not exist. Instead, they choose not to add fuel to the fire. While the world says to snap back, get even, or spread the story, Jesus says to bring peace into the middle of tension with calm words, kindness, and sometimes silence.

Through a relatable personal story, this episode shows how drama grows when we feed it, but fades when we refuse to pass it along. Kids are encouraged to avoid gossip, choose kind words, stay out of unnecessary arguments, and remember that real courage often looks quiet.

This practical kids devotional helps families talk about friendships, conflict, and how following Jesus can change the way we respond when things get heated.
