Psalm 139:23-24

What if the struggles we face, the habits we can’t break, and the emotions that keep surfacing aren’t the real issue—but symptoms of something deeper? In this honest and revealing series, The Thing Beneath the Thing, we’ll peel back the layers of our reactions, wounds, and defenses to uncover the deeper truth of what’s driving us. This series is rooted in the 7 primal questions—the deep, soul-level questions every human heart is asking: Am I safe? Am I secure? Am I loved? Am I wanted? Am I successful? Am I good enough? Do I have purpose? These questions shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and even how we relate to God. Each week, we’ll explore one of these core questions and invite Jesus to speak to the thing beneath the thing—to bring healing where we’ve been hurt, truth where we’ve believed lies, and freedom where we’ve been stuck. It’s time to stop managing symptoms and let God transform the source.

Next Steps:

Ask yourself this week why you do what you do. Don’t sweep it under the rug; ask God to give you courage to face it.

Find out your primal question.

Pray Psalm 139:23-24 this week:

"Search me, O God, and know my heart;

test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Point out anything in me that offends you,

and lead me along the path of everlasting life."
