About this episode
Hey Carpool Crew! đ Whether youâre just waking up in the backseat or eating your breakfast before heading into school, Iâm Pastor Justinâand Iâm so glad youâre here. All month long weâre in our series: Proverbs for Your School Life â real wisdom from Godâs Word to help you make smart choices in the hallways, classrooms, and friendships you navigate every day. Todayâs verse is a powerful reminder to think before you believe : đ Proverbs 14:15 (CSB) âThe inexperienced one believes anything, but the sensible one watches his steps.â đĄ What does that mean? Solomon is talking about two kinds of people: The inexperiencedâwho believe anything they hear The sensibleâwho slow down, think it through, and choose carefully â
In this episode, kids will learn: What it means to be inexperienced (and why itâs okay to start there) How to spot rumors, question whatâs true, and avoid blindly following what others say Why Jesus always focused on truthâeven when the crowd believed something false How to become the kind of person who watches their steps and leads with wisdom đŻ Real-life example: You hear a story in class about someone messing up, and it spreads fast. You believe it. You even pass it along. Laterâyou find out it wasnât true. Now someone feels embarrassed and hurt, and you wish you had asked more questions. Thatâs the power of thinking before believing . Itâs not just smartâitâs kind. đ Application for Today: Pause before you believe, repeat, or post anything. If something sounds sketchyâit probably is. Be someone who watches their steps, not someone who just follows the crowd. đšâđ©âđ§ Parent Tip: Ask your child: âWhatâs one time you believed something too quickly and later found out it wasnât true?â If this episode gave your family something to talk about, consider sharing it with your kidsâ pastor or in a parenting group. Carpooling with Jesus is a free resource made to help families grow in wisdom together! đ Listen & Subscribe đ§ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ZQq3iq đ Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Zt7lvO đș YouTube: https://bit.ly/YoutubeCPWJ đ» Podbean: https://bit.ly/PodbeanCPWJ đ± Instagram: https://bit.ly/InstagramCPWJ đ Facebook Community: https://bit.ly/CPWJFB Christian kids podcast, Proverbs for kids, Bible verses about truth, believing lies, wise choices for children, kids devotional podcast, short Christian podcast for kids, daily Bible podcast for children, Christian parenting tips, navigating rumors at school, helping kids think critically
