April 7th: 5 Smooth Stones and a Giant-Sized Faith | Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

šŸ‘‹ Hey Friends!

Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus — your 5-minute devotional podcast that turns everyday rides and routines into real moments of faith for kids and families!

Today, we’re zooming in on a famous Bible story with a surprising twist—David and Goliath… but not just the big battle. We’re focusing on the five smooth stones David picked before he faced the giant.

šŸ“– Verse of the Day:

1 Samuel 17:40 –

"Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag, and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine."

šŸ’” In This Episode:
  • What David’s five stones represent: courage, faith, preparation, obedience, and trust

  • How God uses our choices—even small ones—for big things

  • A Lego contest story featuring a kid named Beckett and his ā€œ5 heart-stonesā€

  • Why what you carry into a challenge matters

    🧠 One Thing for the Ride:

    God can use what you choose to do something great.

    🧱 Beckett’s Story:

    Beckett entered a Lego contest and felt nervous. But instead of focusing on the challenge, he chose five ā€œstonesā€ to carry with him in his heart:

    🧠 Creativity
    šŸ’› Kindness
    šŸ’Ŗ Confidence
    šŸ˜„ Joy
    šŸ™ Faith

    Even though things didn’t go perfectly, Beckett stayed calm, kept going, and made something amazing—because he chose the right things before the moment got big.

    šŸ’¬ What Would Jesus Say?

    "I see what you carry with you—and when you choose faith, courage, and kindness, I can do great things through you. Trust Me!"

    ā“ Question of the Day:

    If you could pick five things to carry into a big moment—what would they be?

    šŸ™Œ Parent Tip:

    This is a perfect conversation starter in the car or around the table:

    ā€œWhat are the five things we want to carry with you today or in tough moments you face?ā€

    Please encourage your child to write theirs on a sticky note or card!
