Fine. Good. Busy. You know how it is. It's the answer we give without even checking if it's true — and today we're asking why.
Welcome to What's Behind Your Smile? — a new 5-episode series on My Question for You. Over the next few weeks, we're asking what's really underneath the version of ourselves we perform for everyone else: the shame we manage alone, the grief we don't mention, the exhaustion we call "busy," and the fear of being fully known.
The first episode opens the series with the simplest — and hardest — question of all: is anyone actually fine? We'll look at 1 Samuel 16:7, where God reminds Samuel that people look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart — and ask what it would mean to stop managing our "fine" and start being honest, at least with Him.
🎧 In this episode:
— Why "fine" has become our reflex answer, even to people who already know better
— What 1 Samuel 16:7 reveals about the difference between what people see and what God sees
— My Question for You: What am I protecting people from by saying I'm fine — and is God asking for that same protection?
