Drive, Scroll, Sing: How to Bring God Into the Chaos

Let’s be honest: your car has seen some things.

It’s where you rehearse arguments that never happen, cry during worship songs like you just got dumped on The Bachelor, and throw fries into the back seat like you’re feeding invisible children.

But what if your car wasn’t just a metal box on wheels? What if it could be a chapel on the move?

Because here’s the deal: you’re already spending the time. The commute. The car line. The late-night Target run where you said you’d only get one thing. That time is a gift, and it can become holy ground if we treat it that way.

Turn Your Car into a Chapel
No need to install stained glass. Just invite the presence of God in.
Start your drive by saying, “Holy Spirit, ride with me.” That’s it. No pressure. No performance. Just presence.
Try silence instead of Spotify. Pray out loud like He’s in the passenger seat. Because He is.
And if you’ve got a car full of kids? Even better. Let them hear you talk to God like He’s real and relevant. It might sound chaotic, but it’s forming something in them too.

Reclaim Your Phone Like It’s Holy Ground
You’ve probably already picked it up 47 times today.
And honestly, your phone is either fueling your peace—or frying your brain.
So what if we flipped the script?
Move your Bible app to the home screen. Change your lock screen to a verse. Unfollow the account that makes you feel like a potato in comparison.
Use your screen to stir your spirit, not just scroll your boredom.
Phones aren’t evil. But they are loud. Make sure God’s voice is the loudest one coming through.

Let Worship Fill Your House
Atmosphere matters.
You don’t need to walk around with a shofar and a tambourine. Just put on a worship playlist while you clean. Let truth echo while you're doing laundry or making dinner.
Music has this weird way of settling our soul and reminding us who we are. And when worship fills your house, it starts to shift the whole tone of your home—even when everything else feels like a circus.

Real Talk:
Here’s the truth: we keep saying we want to be more intentional with God, but then we treat all the in-between moments like dead space.

The drive to work? That’s just the transition. The scroll before bed? That’s just “winding down.” The background noise in the house? Just something to drown out the toddler screaming in the other room. But what if those in-between spaces were the exact places God wants to meet us?

Let me say it like this: your car is not a distraction from God — it might be the only place you have alone with Him all day. Your phone doesn’t have to be a spiritual black hole — it can be a tool to redirect your thoughts. And your home? Your home can be a sanctuary, even if it smells like last night’s mac and cheese.

We don’t need more hours. We need more awareness. That’s the shift.

Brother Lawrence, the old monk who wrote The Practice of the Presence of God, said: “There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual conversation with God.”

But that conversation happens in real life. While chopping onions. While changing diapers. While sitting in traffic with a taillight out and a prayer that you don’t get pulled over.
What if we turned our lives into altars, not by quitting everything, but by bringing God into everything?

That’s where the power is. Not in perfection, but in presence.

And that’s the whole heart of having your Best Summer Yet — not because you booked a beach house or got your calendar all color-coded, but because you found God in the places you usually overlook. Because you slowed down enough to realize He was already in the car, on the couch, and woven into your daily noise.

Leadership Side:
As a leader, your rhythm becomes permission for others. If you live like peace only happens in church, so will the people you lead. So this week, show them something different.

Invite God into your movement. Into your scroll. Into your soundtrack.

Drive. Scroll. Sing. And watch Him meet you right there.

Let’s go.
