This Week's Conversation

Have you ever wished God would just give you a map? Something to tell you where this thing is headed—when the breakthrough will come, or how the pieces will fit together? Abraham probably felt that too. When God told him to leave everything familiar, there was no GPS, no step-by-step plan—just a promise and a call to start walking. Faith can feel a lot like that sometimes: knowing God can, but having no idea how. And yet, that’s often where faith becomes real—not when we see clearly, but when we step anyway.

So here’s the tension we’ll wrestle with today: what does it mean to move forward in faith when clarity hasnot yet arrived?
  • Have you ever started something new without knowing exactly how it would go (For example: starting a home project, beginning a new job or going back to school... maybe even opening up about your faith with someone)? Can you tell us about it?
  • How do you personally handle moving forward on things without all the details up front?
  • What’s something you’ve had to trust the process with lately—even though you couldn’t see how it would work out?
  • In Genesis 12:1–4 – God tells Abraham to leave everything familiar behind. Do you think it’s harder to trust God when He asks you to leave something behind—or when He asks you to wait for something new? Why?
  • Hebrews 11:8–9 – Abraham obeyed even though he didn’t know where he was going. What might that kind of obedience look like in modern life—career decisions, relationships, finances, etc.?
  • How does waiting for clarity test or grow your faith? Can you share a time when you saw that happen?
  • Do you think it’s possible to feel peace even when you have no idea how things will work out? What helps you get to that place of trust?
Read: Faith doesn’t remove uncertainty—it redirects it. Abraham didn’t know where he was going, but he knew Who he was following. That’s the point. Faith acts like God is telling the truth, even when the details don’t make sense. It’s substance while you’re still hoping, evidence while you’re still waiting. The longer you walk by faith, the more you’ll find that clarity isn’t the reward for control—it’s the result of trust. So whatever “unknown” you’re facing, remember: you don’t have to know how God will do it—you just have to know He can and take the next step He’s shown you.
