Psalm 139 invites us into the sweet realization that God is always with us—knowing us completely, surrounding us continually, and shaping us purposefully. In this episode, we explore how God’s constant immanence (His nearness) can sharpen our focus and ignite our passion. From “You have searched me and known me” to “Lead me in the everlasting way,” we learn to live honestly before the Lord who hems us in, holds us fast, and loves us still.

Opening Questions to Ponder:

1. Who knows you really well—and how does that knowledge affect you?
2. What moment or influence quietly redirected your life’s course?
3. What can you never get enough of (Diet Dr. Pepper, LOTR, ice cream, Jimmy Buffett…)? What does that reveal about desire and delight?

Big Idea: Let the nearness of God shape your attention and fuel your affection—focus and passion formed by the One who knows and is with you.
