You ever try to outrun something you know is chasing you? Not a person. Not a deadline. But a truth. A mirror.

A voice in your spirit that says, “This… this needs to be dealt with.”

Yeah, me too.

This week on Subtext, Pastor Tim gets personal, not just with Scripture, but with his own story, as we walk through Hosea chapters 4 through 10.

What started with a tough conversation about a report card turned into a moment of reflection about how we all avoid what’s broken.

We say we’re fine. We say it’s not that bad. We perform worship but avoid repentance.

We manage our sin instead of facing it.

But the Word is clear:

“You can’t outrun what you won’t face.”

In these chapters, God isn’t just confronting Israel — He’s calling us out too.

Calling out our coping mechanisms.

Our emotional performances.

Our rituals without relationship.

But right in the middle of the pain…

God offers this:

“Break up your unplowed ground… for it is time to seek the Lord.” (Hosea 10:12)

This episode is for the one tired of pretending.

For the one who wants to stop managing dysfunction and start walking in freedom.

For the one who’s ready to face it — and finally heal.

So press play.

Stop running.

And let God in.
