Everybody wants to be fully known and fully loved - and almost

nobody wants to risk it. In this episode of Digging Deeper, Pastor Matt,

Pastor Thom and Pastor Jay unpack why being known is so hard, especially inside

the church, and how pride hides on both sides of the struggle.

We usually think of pride as bragging and one-upmanship. But

there's a quieter, more twisted version: 

"I'm not worthy. Nobody should waste their time on me. God wants good things for His

people - just not me." 

That's not humility. That's putting your

own voice above God's, and it can keep you isolated, guarded, and

slow to trust anyone who tries to come close.

In this episode, the guys dive into the value and importance of being known and why it's so important, despite how difficult it can be to take the first steps. 

If you've ever felt too much or not enough to be known, this one

is for you. Take the risk. Put the reps in. You might clam up the

first six weeks - week seven is still coming.
