OFF THE GRID we find our WORTH.

2. OFF THE GRID we find our CHARACTER.
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” John Wooden - Coach UCLA
3. OFF THE GRID we find our PRIMARY AUDIENCE.

“In our society, we’re inclined to avoid hiddenness. We want to be seen and acknowledged. We want to be useful to others and influence the course of events. But as we become visible and popular, we quickly grow dependent on people and their responses and easily lose touch with God, the true source of our being. Hiddenness is a place of refining. Hiddenness is where we find our true selves.” ~ Henri Nouwen
