Ecclesiastes 1:1-2; 12:13 ; Matthew 20:26-28

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:
Read Ecclesiastes this week.
Reflect on where you find your worth: is your sense of self-worth driven by what you DO or what God has DONE?
Identify one area in your life where you can shift from striving for success to serving with faithfulness.
