September 4th: Chase Wisdom, Not Just Popularity | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re walking out the door with your water bottle or still wishing it was Saturday, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you’re here.

We’re continuing our September series:

Proverbs for Your School Life — Daily wisdom from God’s Word to help you make real choices in your everyday life.

📖 Today’s verse comes from Proverbs 4:7 (CSB):

👉 “Wisdom is supreme—so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.”

💡 What does that mean?

Solomon—the wisest man to ever live—was talking to his kids, passing down what really matters. He wasn’t yelling or lecturing. He was saying:

👉 “If you’re going to chase anything in life… chase wisdom.”

And here’s the good news:

Even if you're still young, this is the perfect time to start!

You don’t need to know everything—wisdom grows as you learn, ask questions, and stay teachable.

✅ In this episode, kids will learn:

• 
  

  Why wisdom is more valuable than popularity, perfection, or awards

  
  


• 
  

  What understanding really means (it’s more than just getting good grades!)

  
  


• 
  

  How Jesus grew in wisdom as a kid—and how they can too

  
  

🎮 Think of life like a video game—you don’t know all the maps at first, but each round helps you learn more. That’s how wisdom works. Every day is a new chance to grow.

📘 Today’s application:

1. 
   

   Admit what you don’t know—that’s where understanding starts

   
   


2. 
   

   Ask good questions—about life, faith, God, and friendships

   
   


3. 
   

   Be a learner—wisdom starts with the wanting to grow

   
   

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip:

Ask your child:

“What’s something you don’t understand yet, but want to learn more about this year?”

And if this podcast encouraged you, share it with your kids’ pastor or another parent who could use daily help pointing their family to Jesus!
