Summer Slowdown | Nowhere to Hide

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2510213/fan_mail/new] When I was a kid, I hid under the bed. Not because I was in trouble. I hid when I was mad, when the house got loud, or when I just wanted to be alone. And most of us never really grew out of it. We just got better at it. Week three of Summer Slowdown is the most personal one. Pastor Ty opens Psalm 139, where David discovers he cannot get away from a God who sees everything, and then does the last thing you'd expect. He asks for more of it. Along the way: the difference between surveillance and wonder, why God knits instead of mass-produces, the inspector versus the surgeon, and why being fully seen and staying in the room anyway is the deepest rest there is. The July challenge continues: apps deleted, one day a week guarded, four Sabbaths in community. Week four brings the series home: carrying this rest back into an ordinary week. "Search me, God, and know my heart... and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:23-24

Summer Slowdown: The Noise Inside

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2510213/fan_mail/new] You unplugged everything. And the noise kept going. Week two of Summer Slowdown deals with the discovery a lot of us made this week: you can stop your hands and still not stop your heart. Pastor Ty opens Matthew 6:25-34, where Jesus stands on a hillside pointing at actual birds and tells everyday people not to worry, six times in ten verses. Along the way: why worry is the night shift in your own head, the question about your Father hiding underneath every anxious thought, David's steering move in the Psalms, a story about manna and one man's rotten backup plan, and what Pastor Ty personally does at two in the morning when his mind calls a board meeting. The July challenge continues: apps deleted, one day a week guarded, four Sabbaths in community. Week three is next: opening ourselves honestly to God. Luke 10:42 says Mary chose what is better. This week is about where she was looking.

Summer Slow Down: The One Thing

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2510213/fan_mail/new] Martha had Jesus in her house and missed him. Not because of sin. Because of preparations. In week one of the Summer Slowdown, Pastor Ty walks through Luke 10:38-42 and names the thing wearing most of us down: a life so full of good things that there's no room left to sit at Jesus' feet. Along the way he shares his own confession, a two-week vacation that couldn't fix a hurried heart, and what it took for him to finally see it. The message ends with a challenge for the whole month of July. Delete the social apps. Keep a weekly Sabbath. Gather with people face to face. Week one of four. Slowing the outer life comes first. Next week, the inner life. Living Free Franklin | Franklin, KY | Sundays at 10:30 AM
