Listen Later

Hey Carpool Crew! šŸš— Whether you're nervous about a quiz or just hoping today goes better than yesterday, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you're here.

We’re in the middle of our series:

Proverbs for Your School Life — powerful truth from the Bible that helps kids handle real emotions, tough moments, and daily challenges with wisdom.

šŸ“– Proverbs 18:10 (CSB)

šŸ‘‰ ā€œThe name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are protected.ā€

šŸ’” What does that mean?

In Bible times, cities had strong towers for safety. When trouble came, people didn’t stand out in the open—they ran to the tower.
This verse says God is our safe place—a place we can run to when we’re:

  • Scared

  • Stressed

  • Lonely

  • Overwhelmed

    āœ… In this episode, kids will learn:

    • That God isn’t just with them at church—He’s with them everywhere

    • How to run to God in their mind and heart—through prayer, trust, and pause moments

    • That Jesus is the strongest and safest place we can go when life feels out of control

      šŸ« Real-life example:

      You're losing in a game. Everything's falling apart. What do you do?
      You call a timeout and run to your coach.
      šŸ‘‰ That’s what running to God looks like. You don’t have to push through alone.
      You can pause and pray right where you are.

      šŸ“˜ Application for Today:

      1. Start your day with a quick prayer like: ā€œGod, I’m running to You today.ā€

      2. When you feel stressed, pause and talk to God—not just your friends or your phone.

      3. Trust that God’s name—who He is—is stronger than anything you’re facing.

        šŸ‘Øā€šŸ‘©ā€šŸ‘§ Parent Tip:

        Ask your kids:
        ā€œWhat’s something in your life right now that you need to run to God with instead of trying to handle on your own?ā€
