Hey Carpool Crew! 🚌 Maybe you’re in the car headed to a soccer game or just chilling at the breakfast table in your PJs—wherever you are, I’m Pastor Justin, and I’m so glad you’re here!

Today’s episode might sound like a “school life” verse… but it’s not just for school. It’s for your everyday life—even the weekend.

“Even a young man is known by his actions—by whether his behavior is pure and upright.”

Solomon wants you to know: You don’t have to wait until you’re older to start doing what’s right. The way you act right now—at home, at practice, in your neighborhood—is shaping your reputation.

Even Jesus, at 12 years old, was known for how He acted. He was respectful, kind, obedient, and full of truth—not just in what He said, but how He lived.

• Why your behavior matters every day, not just at school

• That your life tells a story—even in the smallest decisions

• How real character is built in the little moments

• Why actions speak louder than words (yes, even on the weekend!)

1. Ask yourself: What do my actions say about me today?

2. Choose the right thing even if it’s hard or no one sees it.

3. Remember: You’re building your reputation with every choice—so let it reflect who you are in Christ.

Talk together as a family: "If someone only watched what we do, not what we say—what would they believe about who we are?"

Share this episode with your church group, homeschool crew, or parent text thread to encourage more families with weekend wisdom from Proverbs!

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you're wondering if you remembered your homework or still thinking about yesterday’s conversation, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you're here.

We’re wrapping up another great episode in our series: Proverbs for Your School Life — daily wisdom from God's Word to help kids make real-life decisions at school, with friends, and at home.

📖 Proverbs 19:20 (CSB) 👉 “Listen to counsel and receive instruction so that you may be wise later in life.”

💡 What does this mean? Solomon reminds us that wisdom is built—not born. You don’t just wake up wise. You grow into it—and it starts with being teachable and willing to listen.

Even Jesus, as a young boy, grew in wisdom by listening to His parents and learning in the temple. If Jesus listened and learned, we should too!

✅ In this episode, kids will learn:

• Why wisdom starts with listening

• How to handle correction—even when it’s hard

• Why your response to feedback shapes your future

• That asking for advice isn’t weakness—it’s the beginning of growth

🏫 Real-life example: Your coach or parent corrects how you do a drill or assignment. You’ve always done it your way. Do you ignore them? Or do you listen and get better? 💡 That’s Proverbs 19:20 in action.

📘 Application for Today:

1. When someone corrects you, don’t tune them out. Lean in and learn.

2. Ask an adult you trust for advice this week. Even about something small!

3. Remember: Listening now = wisdom later. It all adds up!

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip: Ask your kids: “What’s one piece of advice or instruction you’ve been given lately—and how did you respond?” If this episode encouraged your family, share it with a friend or post about it to help more families discover Carpooling with Jesus.

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you're nervous about a quiz or just hoping today goes better than yesterday, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you're here.

We’re in the middle of our series: Proverbs for Your School Life — powerful truth from the Bible that helps kids handle real emotions, tough moments, and daily challenges with wisdom.

📖 Proverbs 18:10 (CSB) 👉 “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are protected.”

💡 What does that mean? In Bible times, cities had strong towers for safety. When trouble came, people didn’t stand out in the open—they ran to the tower. This verse says God is our safe place—a place we can run to when we’re:

• Scared

• Stressed

• Lonely

• Overwhelmed

✅ In this episode, kids will learn:

• That God isn’t just with them at church—He’s with them everywhere

• How to run to God in their mind and heart—through prayer, trust, and pause moments

• That Jesus is the strongest and safest place we can go when life feels out of control

🏫 Real-life example: You're losing in a game. Everything's falling apart. What do you do? You call a timeout and run to your coach. 👉 That’s what running to God looks like. You don’t have to push through alone. You can pause and pray right where you are.

📘 Application for Today:

1. Start your day with a quick prayer like: “God, I’m running to You today.”

2. When you feel stressed, pause and talk to God—not just your friends or your phone.

3. Trust that God’s name—who He is—is stronger than anything you’re facing.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip: Ask your kids: “What’s something in your life right now that you need to run to God with instead of trying to handle on your own?” And if this episode encouraged your family, share about it on Instagram and tag @carpoolingwithjesus—we’d love to connect with you!
