Video 50 🌿 Walking With Jesus — When You Don’t Have It All Figured Out
🌿 Walking With Jesus — When You Don’t Have It All Figured Out
(Companion Blog Post - See Video March 15th 2026 )
Companion Video:
This post goes with the video where I talk quietly about walking with Jesus—not having answers, not fixing anything—just staying with Him.
There’s a strange relief that comes when you finally stop trying to explain your walk with Jesus.
Not because you’ve lost faith.
Not because you’ve lowered your standards.
But because you’ve realized something honest:
This was never meant to be tidy.
For a long time, I thought faith meant clarity.
Answers.
Certainty.
Clean explanations I could hand to someone else.
But the longer I walk with Jesus, the more I see that He doesn’t rush any of that.
He walks.
And He invites us to walk with Him.
🌿 Faith Was Never About Control
Somewhere along the way, we were taught—sometimes gently, sometimes loudly—that faith means knowing.
Knowing what God is doing.
Knowing what comes next.
Knowing how to explain yourself.
But scripture tells a different story.
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
(Proverbs 3:5)
That verse isn’t poetic filler.
It’s practical instruction.
Lean not on your own understanding.
That means there will be moments when understanding doesn’t show up on time.
And that’s not failure.
That’s walking.
🌿 Jesus Walks With People Who Are Still Learning
One of the quiet miracles in the Book of Mormon is how patient Jesus is with unfinished people.
When He appears to the Nephites, He doesn’t demand polished theology. He invites presence.
“Arise and come forth unto me… and see with your eyes, and feel with your hands.”
(3 Nephi 11:14)
Notice what He doesn’t say.
He doesn’t say, “Explain me.”
He doesn’t say, “Defend me.”
He doesn’t say, “Figure everything out first.”
He says, come.
Walking with Jesus begins there.
🌿 When the Road Gets Quiet
There are seasons where the road feels loud—full of insight, learning, excitement.
And then there are seasons where things go quiet.
No new revelations.
No fresh explanations.
Just… walking.
Those seasons used to make me nervous.
Now I see them differently.
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
(Psalm 46:10)
Stillness isn’t absence.
It’s proximity.
The Lord often quiets the noise not because He’s distant—but because He’s close.
🌿 The Book of Mormon Calls This the Way
Nephi describes the gospel not as a system, but as a path.
“This is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved.”
(2 Nephi 31:21)
The way isn’t a checklist.
It isn’t a performance.
It isn’t a debate.
It’s a walk.
A real one.
With repentance.
With stumbling.
With grace.
With course corrections.
Always forward.
Always with Christ.
🌿 The Nemenhah Teach the Same Pattern
The ancient records speak often of this quiet, steady journey—one step at a time, guided by the Spirit rather than control.
They warn that people often trade walking with God for managing God.
And that never ends well.
The Peacemaker teaches that the true covenant is lived, not administered—written in the heart, not enforced by fear.
Those who walk gently, listen carefully, and live humbly are led.
Those who demand certainty before obedience often stall.
Walking has always required trust.
🌿 You Don’t Have to Hurry
If there’s one thing I hope comes through—both in the video and here—it’s this:
You don’t have to rush your faith.
You don’t have to resolve every question.
You don’t have to justify your pace.
You don’t have to sound confident to be faithful.
Jesus never hurried people who were walking toward Him.
He only challenged those who thought they had already arrived.
🌿 Just Stay With Him
Some days, walking with Jesus looks like clarity.
Other days, it looks like endurance.
And some days, it looks like nothing more than saying,
“I’m still here.”
That’s enough.
That’s faith.
And if you’re walking—slowly, honestly, imperfectly—you’re exactly where the Lord can reach you.
🌿 Final Thought
If this season feels quieter…
If you feel less certain but more grounded…
If your faith feels simpler, slower, and more human…
You’re not drifting.
You’re walking.
And He’s still beside you.
