Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re cramming in that last bit of homework or trying to wake up in the backseat, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you’re here.
This month we’re starting something new: Proverbs for Your School Life 🎒📚 Every day in September, we’re digging into powerful wisdom from the book of Proverbs—stuff Jesus Himself would’ve learned as a kid!
We’re kicking things off with today’s verse: 👉 Proverbs 1:7 — “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.”
đź’¬ What does that mean?
-
“Fear of the Lord” doesn’t mean being scared. It means deep respect—taking God seriously and listening to Him.
-
Wisdom doesn’t come from knowing everything—it comes from knowing Who to trust.
-
Fools ignore truth, roll their eyes at correction, and act like they’ve got it all figured out. Don’t be that kid.
đź’ˇ In this episode, kids will learn:
-
Why wisdom begins with respecting God.
-
What Jesus might say if He were sitting next to you right now.
-
How to live wisely at school, even when it’s hard.
âś… Real-life application for school:
-
Start your day by praying: “God, help me live wisely today.”
-
Respect God more than your own opinion—take His Word seriously.
-
Listen to correction—it’s not punishment, it’s how you grow.
The smartest move you can make this school year? Start with God. That’s where wisdom begins.
