April 1st: God’s Foolish Plan?! Why the Cross Didn’t Make Sense (But Saved the World) | Carpooling with Jesus
👋 Hey Friends!
Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus — the 5-minute podcast that helps kids and families grow in faith during everyday moments. Today’s episode lands on April Fool’s Day, but we’re skipping the pranks and diving into something truly surprising: the “foolishness” of God.
Wait, what?! Don’t worry—it’s not what it sounds like. Let’s find out what the Bible really means.
📖 Bible Verse of the Day
1 Corinthians 1:25 –
“For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.”
💡 In This Episode:
Why God’s ways sometimes seem confusing
Why the cross looked foolish to the world—but was actually God’s perfect plan
How Colby’s “missed race” became a moment to help others
What Jesus would say to us when things don’t make sense
💬 Jesus Says:
"People don’t always understand the way I do things. I came to serve, not to be served — and that seemed strange. But God’s ways are always best, even when they don’t make sense at first."
🧠 Key Takeaway for Kids:
Even when things seem confusing or silly, God’s plan is always bigger and better.
🏃 Colby’s Story:
Colby thought he was going to run a race—but ended up helping instead.
Here’s what happened: ✅ He lent shoes to a friend
✅ He helped someone who got hurt
✅ He encouraged others and made a great memory
👉 Sometimes the “foolish” choice turns out to be the wise one.
🙌 Living It Out:
God’s wisdom is different than the world’s
When things feel upside down, trust God’s plan
Ask: “Could this be part of something bigger?”
❓ Question of the Day:
What’s something that seems silly... but might actually be wise?
Talk about it as a family before the ride ends!
📣 Parent Tip:

This is the perfect way to spark spiritual conversations with your kids—on the go.
