Summer Slowdown | Nowhere to Hide

When I was a kid, I hid under the bed. Not because I was in trouble. I hid when I was mad, when the house got loud, or when I just wanted to be alone. And most of us never really grew out of it. We just got better at it.

Week three of Summer Slowdown is the most personal one. Pastor Ty opens Psalm 139, where David discovers he cannot get away from a God who sees everything, and then does the last thing you'd expect. He asks for more of it. Along the way: the difference between surveillance and wonder, why God knits instead of mass-produces, the inspector versus the surgeon, and why being fully seen and staying in the room anyway is the deepest rest there is.

The July challenge continues: apps deleted, one day a week guarded, four Sabbaths in community. Week four brings the series home: carrying this rest back into an ordinary week.

"Search me, God, and know my heart... and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:23-24
