Why We Run - Part 1

Why We Run — Running From Ourselves Week 1 · January 11 Big Idea: We often run from what’s uncomfortable inside us—fear, shame, responsibility—because facing ourselves feels risky. But avoidance doesn’t heal what’s broken; it deepens the fracture. Key Shift: From hiding → honest awareness About This Message: Most of us don’t think of ourselves as runners. We think we’re just busy, distracted, overwhelmed, or waiting for the right moment. But running doesn’t always look like leaving—it often looks like staying busy, staying silent, or staying numb. This message traces the instinct to run back to the very beginning of the Bible, where fear—not rebellion—first drove humanity into hiding. And yet, even there, God moves toward the hiding place, asking not a location question but a relational one: “Where are you?” Running promises relief, but it never delivers healing. The good news is that God doesn’t shine light to shame us—He shines light to lead us home. Practice: Pay attention to where you’re tempted to hide this week. Ask simply: “God, help me notice where I run—without shame.” Stay Connected: 📲 Instagram: @thechurchattuscaloosa 📲 Facebook: ChurchAtTuscaloosa 📲 TikTok: @drewoakley3303 🌐 Website: tcat.church #WhyWeRun #RunningFromOurselves #FaithAndHonesty #GraceOverShame #ChristianTeaching #SpiritualGrowth #GodMeetsUsHere #ChurchOnline
