September 12th: Words That Hurt vs. Words That Heal | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you're buckled up and ready for the day or still munching your breakfast in the backseat, I'm Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you’re here.

We’re deep into our series Proverbs for Your School Life—daily wisdom from God’s Word to help you navigate real moments at school, with friends, and in the decisions you face every day.

📖 Proverbs 12:18 (CSB)

“There is one who speaks rashly, like a piercing sword; but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”

💡 What does that mean?

Solomon gives us two very different pictures:

  • One person speaks rashly—without thinking—and their words hurt like a sword

  • The other chooses their words with wisdom, and their words actually bring healing

    ✅ In this episode, kids will learn:

    • Why words matter more than we realize

    • What it means to “speak rashly” (and how it happens at lunch tables, in texts, and online)

    • How Jesus used His words to heal and help—not to hurt

    • That choosing not to say the “funny roast” is actually a powerful act of wisdom

      🎯 Real-life example:

      Someone in class messes up. You’ve got the perfect comeback that’ll make everyone laugh
 but it might really hurt that person.
      Instead, you choose to say: “You're good—don’t worry about it.”
      👉 That’s a moment when your words can heal instead of cut.

      📘 Application for today:

      1. Think before you speak, joke, or post. Not every joke is worth it.

      2. Use your words to build others up, not tear them down.

      3. Ask God to help you pause—a quick “God, should I say this?” goes a long way.

        đŸ‘šâ€đŸ‘©â€đŸ‘§ Parent Tip:

        Ask your kids today:
        “When was the last time someone’s words hurt you or healed you? What kind of words do you want to use this week?”
        If this episode helped your family have a meaningful moment, share it with a friend or post about it online so more parents can find Carpooling with Jesus.
