Guiding Question

If God has called me, why does the journey feel slow, stretching, or unclear?

Lesson Point (Concise)

Calling is not full explanation. It is faithful movement — and formation happens in the walking.

I Have 3 Points to Make

1. Learning as You Walk — Mark 3:13–15 Jesus calls the disciples to be with Him before sending them out, showing that relationship and formation come before assignment.
2. Following Before Understanding — Mark 8:34–35 Discipleship requires surrender and trust, even when the full meaning of the journey is not yet clear.
3. Learning Dependence — Deuteronomy 8:2–3 The wilderness reveals that God uses stretching seasons to humble, test, and teach us to rely on Him fully.

As I unpack today’s scripture, personally consider this guiding question:

Am I waiting for clarity before obedience?
