September 14: Don’t Believe Everything You Hear | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re just waking up in the backseat or eating your breakfast before heading into school, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you’re here.

All month long we’re in our series:

Proverbs for Your School Life — real wisdom from God’s Word to help you make smart choices in the hallways, classrooms, and friendships you navigate every day.

Today’s verse is a powerful reminder to think before you believe:

👉 Proverbs 14:15 (CSB)
“The inexperienced one believes anything, but the sensible one watches his steps.”

💡 What does that mean?

Solomon is talking about two kinds of people:

  • The inexperienced—who believe anything they hear

  • The sensible—who slow down, think it through, and choose carefully

    ✅ In this episode, kids will learn:

    • What it means to be inexperienced (and why it’s okay to start there)

    • How to spot rumors, question what’s true, and avoid blindly following what others say

    • Why Jesus always focused on truth—even when the crowd believed something false

    • How to become the kind of person who watches their steps and leads with wisdom

      🎯 Real-life example:

      You hear a story in class about someone messing up, and it spreads fast. You believe it. You even pass it along.
      Later—you find out it wasn’t true.
      Now someone feels embarrassed and hurt, and you wish you had asked more questions.
      That’s the power of thinking before believing.
      It’s not just smart—it’s kind.

      📘 Application for Today:

      1. Pause before you believe, repeat, or post anything.

      2. If something sounds sketchy—it probably is.

      3. Be someone who watches their steps, not someone who just follows the crowd.

        👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip:

        Ask your child:
        “What’s one time you believed something too quickly and later found out it wasn’t true?”
        If this episode gave your family something to talk about, consider sharing it with your kids’ pastor or in a parenting group. Carpooling with Jesus is a free resource made to help families grow in wisdom together!
