Every driver knows the importance of avoiding potholes. Besides the uncomfortable bump, they can create permanent damage to vehicles and endanger entire roadway systems. In The Thing Beneath the Thing, pastor Steve Carter asks the simple question, “How is life working for you?” He knows that potholes exist and that the longer we live disconnected from answering this question, the more we will fill those holes with harmful choices. The solution? Allow God to fill them with His grace and love so that we can discover the beauty of peace and wholeness He has for us.
