What do you do when God tells you to go—but doesn’t give you all the details?

In today’s message, “Even Though, Go,” guest speaker Rusty Nottingham takes us into Acts 8:26–39, where Philip receives a simple instruction from God: go down the desert road. Philip isn’t given a complete plan, a timeline, or an explanation. He simply obeys—and his obedience places him directly in the path of an Ethiopian official who is searching for answers.

That divine appointment becomes an incredible reminder that sometimes God gives us clarity after we take the first step, not before.

Rusty challenges us to consider how often we may miss what God is doing because we are waiting for every detail to fall into place. We want the complete plan. We want certainty. We want to know where the road leads before we start walking. But faith often requires us to move while we are still unsure of what comes next.

As Rusty puts it, our responsibility is obedience; the outcome belongs to God.

Rusty Nottingham serves as the President of CitiReach, a ministry based in Akron, Ohio, that exists to reach people far from God with the hope of Jesus. CitiReach serves overlooked and underserved communities through outreach events, food initiatives, mentoring programs, youth programs, dinner church, creative arts, and relational ministry—walking alongside people and sharing the love of Jesus in tangible ways.

During this message, Rusty also shares how CitiReach has been living out this very principle. After sensing God calling the ministry to expand without knowing exactly where that would lead, they began preparing and saying yes. Through a remarkable series of confirmations and relationships, God opened the door for CitiReach to begin expanding its ministry into Kenya, partnering with local believers to reach children, youth, and families with the Gospel.

Maybe God has already been nudging you toward something.

Maybe there is a conversation you need to have. A person you need to reach out to. A ministry you need to serve in. A step of faith you need to take. Maybe your struggle isn’t that God hasn’t spoken—it’s that you’re still waiting for all the details.

As you listen today, lean in to what Rusty has to share. Ask God to quiet the distractions around you and speak clearly to your heart through this message.

And here is today’s challenge:

What is the “go” God has placed in front of you—and what would happen if you simply said yes?

Even though you may not understand everything.
Even though you may feel unqualified.
Even though the timing may not seem perfect.
Even though you cannot see the entire road ahead.

Go.

Take the first step, trust God with the outcome, and see what He can do with your yes.
