The Average Pursuit

Burn Your Maps — Follow the Cloud


Listen Later

In this raw and honest episode, Jonathan takes us deep into the heart of what it really means to follow God when there’s no clear path forward. Drawing from the stories of Jonah, the Israelites in the wilderness, and Jesus’ own time in the desert, this episode challenges the illusion that faith requires clarity — and shows that the truest form of trust is surrender. If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared, or uncertain about what God is doing, this message is for you. It's time to stop demanding maps and start following the cloud.

Key Themes:

  • Why God doesn’t give us the full plan

  • The wilderness as a place of spiritual refinement, not punishment

  • The difference between believing in God and trusting God

  • How control issues reveal our lack of surrender

  • A practical practice: Look up. Step out. Let go.

    Practical Application:

Look up. Step out. Let go.
A simple rhythm to help you trust God this week — even when the path isn’t clear.
