What would compel a man to walk across America with nothing but a flip phone and a backpack? Joe Domina's extraordinary 3,375-mile pilgrimage from the Statue of Liberty to the Pacific Ocean reveals how spiritual hunger can drive us beyond our comfort zones into profound encounters with God's providence.

This powerful episode of Unwritten takes us deep into the Appalachian wilderness where Joe's commitment was severely tested. In this moment of complete vulnerability, Joe confronts his deepest fears about self-preservation and control.

Joe's pilgrimage wasn't merely a physical challenge but a spiritual quest to confront five modern idols plaguing both his life and American society: money, distraction, sex, status, and self-preservation.

The most powerful moments come not in triumphant victories but in Joe's complete surrender, where illness and exhaustion strip away his illusions of self-sufficiency. Through these trials, Joe discovers nine profound spiritual truths that now guide his life.

When Joe finally reaches the Pacific Ocean after 346 days, his experience transcends words—a moment of pure presence, joy, and gratitude that he describes as "what heaven's gonna be like." Listen now and discover how breaking free from modern idols might be the journey your soul is longing for.
