Why Are We Still Hiding?

What is the one thing about yourself you hope nobody ever discovers?

We want to be known. We want to be understood. We want to be loved for who we really are—and then we spend enormous amounts of energy making sure nobody ever sees the whole person. We hide behind careers, success, toughness, religion, sexuality, reputation, and carefully constructed versions of ourselves.

In Episode 182 of Crusade With Me!, Dave follows a question that began with Adam and Eve: Why are we still hiding?

From the fig leaves of Genesis to the masks we wear today, we explore shame, fear, vulnerability, control, Taoist ideas about forcing and simplicity, and the exhausting work of becoming who we think everyone expects us to be.

What if confession isn't giving God information He doesn't already have? What if it's finally stepping out from behind the tree and answering His question—“Where are you?”—with three simple words:

Here I am.

No résumé. No reputation. No performance. No hiding.
