Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re already thinking about lunch on the ride to school or enjoying a chocolate chip muffin at the kitchen table — I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here.
We’re continuing our Proverbs for Your School Life series, where we look at wisdom Jesus would’ve memorized as a kid — and how it still helps you with real-life choices today.
Today’s verse is one of the most famous in all of Proverbs: 👉 Proverbs 3:5–6 (CSB) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight.”
💡 What does this mean?
-
Don’t try to be the boss of your own life.
-
Trusting God means giving Him all your heart, not just some of it.
-
Straight paths (in Bible times) meant safe paths—God shows us the way that leads to real peace and protection.
✅ In this episode, kids will learn:
-
What trusting God looks like when school, friends, or emotions get tough
-
Why Jesus invites us to follow Him step by step—not have it all figured out
-
How to live like Jesus did: with full trust in His Father
🛹 A great visual? Think of it like this: You’re at a new skate park, and someone who knows the place says, “Follow me — I’ll show you the best path.” You could try it alone and risk a wipeout… or trust the one who’s been there. That’s what trusting God is like — not about holding back, but avoiding the wipeouts.
📘 Application for today:
-
Start your day by saying: “God, I trust You. If You want to say something, I’m listening.”
-
When you’re not sure what to do, don’t fake it — ask a parent, teacher, or someone you trust.
-
Let God’s Word lead you, not just your feelings.
👨👩👧 Parent Tip: Ask your kids today: “What’s one decision you’re facing where you need to trust God more than yourself?” If this podcast helps your family follow Jesus, share it with a parent friend or post about it in your Facebook group.
