August 18th: How to Respect Your Teacher Like Jesus Wants You To | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesu
Manage episode 500971322 series 3624186
Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re grabbing your backpack, logging in for homeschool, or just chilling before the day kicks off — I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here.
Today we’re talking about someone you probably see almost every day: your teacher. Maybe your teacher is the funniest person you know, maybe they run class like bootcamp, or maybe you just don’t feel like you get them at all. But here’s the thing — God cares about how you treat them.
Our verse today comes from Hebrews 13:17 (CSB):
👉 “Obey your leaders and submit to them, since they keep watch over your souls.”
That verse was written to adults in the church, but it still matters for you — because your teacher is a leader too. They’re not just giving homework for fun. They’re helping you learn, grow, and prepare for the future, even if you don’t always see it that way.
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why showing respect to teachers is part of showing respect to God.
What Jesus might say if He walked into your classroom.
Three super simple ways to show your teacher respect:
Look up — pay attention when they’re talking.
Talk nice — no eye rolls, muttering, or “whatever.”
Say thanks — a quick “thank you” or even a sticky note can make their day.
Respect isn’t just about rules — it’s about showing God’s love in how you treat people: your family, your neighbors, your coaches, your librarian, your janitor… and yes, your teachers.
👨👩👧 Parent Tip: If this episode encourages you, share it with another parent today so they can start these conversations with their kids too.
