September 5th: Why Discipline Matters (Even When It’s Hard) | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus


Listen Later

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you’re rushing out the door with your hair half-brushed or quietly watching the sunrise from the backseat, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you’re here.

We’re deep into our September series:

Proverbs for Your School Life — where we explore the same Bible wisdom Jesus learned as a kid and how it still speaks into your everyday school life.

Today’s verse? It’s bold. It’s honest. And it needs some unpacking.

👉 Proverbs 5:23 (CSB)
“He will die because there is no discipline and be lost because of his great stupidity.”

💡 What does that really mean?

  • This isn’t name-calling—it’s a serious warning from Solomon.

  • In Bible times, “stupidity” meant choosing to ignore truth, not being unintelligent.

  • Solomon is warning us: when we keep ignoring correction, we don’t just stay stuck—we end up lost.

    Imagine breaking someone’s LEGO set and just shrugging like it’s no big deal. Or flipping breakfast off the table and saying, “Who cares?” That’s the kind of careless attitude Proverbs is warning us about.

    ✅ In this episode, kids will learn:

    • Why discipline isn’t punishment—it’s training.

    • What happens when we ignore correction over and over.

    • How Jesus lovingly helps us turn around when we’re heading the wrong way.

      🎮 Think of it like skipping the tutorial in a video game, ignoring the hints, and doing your own thing… then wondering why you’re stuck and frustrated. That’s what refusing wisdom looks like. But when we listen to correction, we grow stronger, wiser, and more confident—just like God wants for us.

      📘 Real-life application:

      1. Listen when someone gives you wise feedback—it’s a gift.

      2. Be honest when you mess up, and ask God to help you grow.

      3. Remember: discipline is training for a better life, not punishment.

        👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip:

        Ask your kids today:
        “What’s one way you can grow in discipline this week—at school, at home, or in your walk with Jesus?”
        If this episode sparked a good conversation in your home, share it with another parent this week.
