Do you ever wonder why some people bring out the worst in you? Or why certain situations at work cause you to feel stuck, triggered, or frustrated? Or why you keep going though life at a breakneck speed, even though you know your stress level is breaking you down? In The Thing Beneath the Thing, pastor Steve Carter helps us discern the potholes in our lives that keep us from living out the joy, peace, and purpose for which God created us. He explores ways we fill those potholes with thoughts or activities we hope will make the road smoother - such as social media, toxic relationships, sugar, gaming, or work - instead of addressing what caused our brokenness in the the first place. Writing with vulnerability and insightful biblical exploration, Steve teaches us how the process of healing lies in discovering: Triggers: the setup that sets you off Hideouts: where you go to escape the pain of your story Insecurities: the false stories you create about yourself Narratives: the false stories you create about others Grace: the place where you discover how to become whole, holy, and spiritually healthy The Thing Beneath the Thing calls you to know God's relentless grace as you step into the fullness of your identity by partnering with him in the restoration of all things.
