We all know what it feels like to leave behind what's familiar — a home, a role, a comfort zone — and step into something unknown. This episode of Tracks for the Journey, draws on the words of Jesus on the night before the cross — "Come now, let us leave" — to explore why change is so hard, and why it might be exactly what we need. From biblical figures like Abraham, Ruth, and Mary Magdalene, to a personal story of leaving pastoral ministry for hospital chaplaincy, LP unpacks the grief and gift that comes with every departure. And yes — Tim Walz even makes an appearance as a modern-day example of someone who left his comfort zone and changed history.

Listening to this episode will help you:

  • Understand why change feels like loss — and find peace with that
  • Recognize the invitation hidden inside life's dislocations and transitions
  • Find spiritual grounding when you're being asked to leave behind a place, a past, or a fear
  • See your own journey reflected in the stories of Scripture and everyday people
