Before the resurrection… there was a road.

In Mile Marker #1: The Walk Before the Wonder, I step into the moment many of us rush past. The moment before the miracle. The space between expectation and reality. Palm branches were waving, voices were shouting praise, and hope was riding into the city on a donkey. Everyone believed they knew what Jesus had come to do.

But they were wrong.

In this episode, I reflect on how easily we walk the same road with our own expectations, believing God will move one way, only to discover He was writing a completely different story all along. What happens when our understanding of God doesn’t match what He is actually doing? What do we do when the road we thought led to victory suddenly leads somewhere we never expected?

Scripture reminds us:

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. — Isaiah 55:8

Sometimes the road we question the most is the one God is using to prepare the greatest miracle. The crowd celebrated a king, but they didn’t yet understand the sacrifice that would change everything.

This episode is about the tension between celebration and confusion, faith and misunderstanding. It is about learning that sometimes the greatest wonders in our lives are hidden behind moments we initially misread.

If you have ever followed God expecting one outcome and found yourself standing in a completely different place… this conversation is for you.

Because the walk before the wonder is often where faith is truly built.

Welcome to Mile Marker #1.
