September 26th: Don’t Go Back to the Mess | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew!

📖 Proverbs 26:11 — “As a dog returns to its vomit, so also a fool repeats his foolishness.”
Yep. It's gross—but it’s also unforgettable. And that’s the point. Today on Carpooling with Jesus, Pastor Justin tackles one of the most memorable verses in the Bible to teach kids how to break the cycle of repeated mistakes and start making wiser choices—at school, at home, and everywhere else.

🎧 In this episode:

• Why God uses such a gross image to teach a deep truth

• How repeating unwise choices is like going back to something nasty

• What Jesus might say if He saw you stuck in a pattern of foolishness

• How to break the loop and grow in wisdom

🛠 Application for Kids:

1. Ask Yourself: Have I made this mistake before? Did it help or hurt?

2. Pray for Strength: “God, help me walk away from this and not repeat it.”

3. Break the Loop: Don’t shame yourself—but do make a plan to change with God's help.

🙋‍♀️ Discussion Question:
