Episode Synopsis

What if God’s path to your promised land isn’t the fastest, but the safest? In this episode of Your Life, Dan DeBruler and Dr. Tony Hare walk through Exodus 13:17–22 and explore why God sometimes “reroutes” us—protecting us from battles we’re not ready for and preparing us for the ones ahead. From relationships and marriage to church life and calling, they talk about letting go, being led, and finding peace in obedience. You’ll hear:Why shortcuts can sabotage spiritual growthHow God’s detours are mercy, not punishmentWhat it means to stand at the edge of your wildernessPractical ways to follow God’s lead—day or nightScripture: Exodus 13:17–22Key ideas: obedience, patience, discernment, mentorship, spiritual formation, protection vs. preparation. If you’re facing a big decision, don’t despise the longer journey—God may be protecting you from what you can’t see and preparing you for what He’s promised.
