Certainty is the comfort food of the ego—tastes good, goes down easy, but leaves your soul bloated and spiritually constipated.

Faith, on the other hand, is like fasting in the desert: disorienting, uncomfortable, occasionally hallucinatory—and somehow exactly what you needed.

Thank you for reminding us that clarity is not a prerequisite for movement. Sometimes the map doesn't show up until you've already lost cell service, tossed the compass, and followed the whisper that says, "Just walk."

I’ve met too many seekers still parked at the starting line, waiting for God to fax them the itinerary. But revelation’s a trickster. She dances just out of view until your foot lands midair—and then, surprise! The bridge appears.

Keep walking, saints and sinners. Grace is a breadcrumb trail, not a GPS.

Well said, Etienne! Thank you. Faith is always about action, engagement, movement.

"taking steps while the road is unseen" is surely walking the walk. Thank you for writing the Word.
