When God Says "Go"

Episode Title: When God Says "Go"

Episode Description:

A 75-year-old man. No GPS. No address. Just God saying "go to a land I will show you." What happens next involves a famine, a lie, a palace, some plagues, and a mysterious ending where everyone walks away richer than they started. Abram's story isn't a roadmap for making questionable decisions—it's proof that God's plans unfold even when we can't see past the next step. And sometimes, especially when we mess up along the way.

In This Episode:

  • Why God chose retirement age to start Abram's greatest adventure
  • The uncomfortable moment when faith meets famine and desperation kicks in
  • How Abram's lie about Sarai somehow led to blessings (and what that means for us)
  • What it means to say "yes" when God's only instruction is "go"

Key Quote:

"God asks us to go, God has plans for us—do we know them? Do we fully understand them? Probably not, but God knows what He is doing and God works in mysterious ways."

About the Podcast

Leaving the Kid's Table
Do you remember the “kid’s table” when at family holidays or dinners? I do and that is right where I feel I am at, still, in my walk with God. Some look at it as being “ankle deep” in our walk. Either way, I am at a point where I am tired of being in this state. Every Monday at 6 am I will release short episodes where I am going to share what stood out to me in my time with God. At the end of the day it comes down to where scripture meets your story. You may be in the same spot as I am or you are sitting at the adult table or may need to join the kids table. Either option is ok, these episodes are to start the conversation as to “what stands out to you?” and not only grow myself but help others grow as well. "Here's the thing - leaving the kid's table isn't a one-time decision. It's a daily choice. And every day you choose to go deeper, I'll be right here with you."
