What It Really Looks Like to Trust God When Nothing Makes Sense
When the Map Disappears
What do you do when you feel called to move, physically, spiritually, emotionally, but you have no clear next step?
No plan. No certainty. Just a quiet nudge that says, “Go.”
That’s exactly where we found ourselves. Standing in our packed-up home, saying goodbye to the life we’d built…
and stepping into something totally unknown.
We were moving to the beach… yes, beautiful, but also unfamiliar. We felt excited and deeply sad.
Because even when you choose the change… it still costs you something.
The Tension of Obedience: Peace + Grief
There’s this myth that trusting God means you won’t feel torn. That obedience should feel clean and confident. But in reality?
Obedience often comes with tension.
We felt crazy and calm. Brave and broken. Ready and wrecked.
In this episode of Mandate to Multiply, we talk about the messier side of obedience; what it looks like to trust God when nothing is clear, and how to keep going when faith doesn’t feel like certainty, but surrender.
If You’re in Transition, This One’s for You
Maybe you’re standing at your own crossroads.
Maybe you feel called to something you can’t explain…
A move, a new job, a ministry, a shift in your assignment…
And all you have is peace that doesn’t make sense and grief you didn’t expect.
If that’s you, this one’s for you.
Inside this episode, we unpack:
➡️ Why choosing to obey still feels like loss.
➡️ What we learned about trusting God without a plan.
➡️ How obedience looks less like strategy and more like surrender.
➡️ What to do when peace and pain live in the same decision.
3 Truths to Hold Onto When Trusting God Feels Foggy
1. You don’t need a map to move
God rarely hands us the full plan. More often, He asks us to take the first step and trust Him with the rest.
2. Obedience doesn’t mean it won’t hurt
You can be fully in God’s will and still feel grief. You can be doing the right thing and still feel loss.
3. Peace isn’t always loud
Sometimes it’s quiet. Steady. Present beneath the emotion. Follow that peace, even when the path ahead is unclear.

You’re Not Lost. You’re Being Led.
This might not be the season where everything clicks. It might be the one where you're called to walk forward with shaky legs and a heart full of tension.
But even in this, God is near.
Keep trusting. Keep moving. Keep surrendering.
He’s not asking you to have it all figured out. Just to say yes.
