Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the same place — going in circles, facing detours, or walking a longer road than you expected? You’re not alone. In this episode of Curious for Christ, Alexandra explores how God uses those very detours and circles to strengthen your faith and shape you into the person He’s calling you to be, unshakable in your faith in Him. Remember, you belong to Him!

Through the story of the Israelites’ wilderness journey, we discover why the “long way” is actually part of God’s purposeful plan — to grow trust, build perseverance, and deepen your relationship with Him.

You’ll be encouraged to embrace your current season, trust God’s timing, and understand that even what feels like delay is part of your spiritual growth.

What You’ll Hear:

• Why life sometimes feels like a circle or detour — and how God is still moving in it
• Biblical insights from the Israelites’ 40 years in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 8:2, Exodus 13:17)
• How detours and delays develop perseverance and faith (Romans 5:3–4)
• Encouragement to trust God when progress feels slow or invisible (Philippians 1:6)
• A prayer to renew your courage and hope in God’s plan

When anxiety takes over, how do you trust God—especially when the outcome is uncertain?

In this episode of Curious for Christ, we’re unpacking five practical ways to walk by faith, not sight. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, afraid, or stuck trying to control what you can’t, this is your invitation to breathe, let go, and trust the One who sees the bigger picture.

Scriptures Mentioned:

• 2 Corinthians 5:7
• 1 Peter 5:7
• Proverbs 3:5
• Hebrews 13:5
• Psalm 119:105
• Isaiah 26:3
• Psalm 46:10
• Hebrews 11:1

5 Ways to Walk by Faith (Not Sight):

1. Be Honest with God

“Cast all your anxiety on Him…” – 1 Peter 5:7

Start by naming your fears. You don’t have to hide your struggles. Bring them into God’s presence—He cares.

2. Lean on His Promises, Not Your Perspective

“Trust in the Lord… and lean not on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5

Anxiety grows when we try to figure it all out. Write down a promise from Scripture and hold it close.

3. Take the Next Right Step

“Your word is a lamp to my feet…” – Psalm 119:105

Faith isn’t about the full plan—it’s about the next obedient step. Just one is enough for today.

4. Stay in the Word

“You will keep in perfect peace…” – Isaiah 26:3

Five minutes in Scripture can re-center your soul. Open to Psalms. Reflect on who God is.

5. Let Go of the Outcome

“Be still and know…” – Psalm 46:10

Faith means trusting God’s goodness, even when life doesn’t go how you hoped. Surrender is strength.
