S3 EP18: Faith in the fog: why proximity matters more than clarity

Have you ever found yourself in a season where the unknowns feel stacked on top of each other? You’re praying, you’re showing up, you’re doing what you know to do—but the future still seems hazy. It’s like driving through heavy fog: you can see enough to keep moving forward, but what lies ahead feels blurred and out of reach.

Seasons like this can make you wonder if God is distant, distracted, or even silent. But what if the fog isn’t proof of His absence, but a space for deeper formation? What if, instead of clarity, God is offering you the gift of closeness? In this episode, we talk about how fog-filled seasons are often the places where God is most at work, reshaping your vision and anchoring your trust in Him. Could it be that the fog is your greatest gift to increase your faith and understand a new level of intimacy with the Shepherd?

Through honest stories, Scripture, and gentle rhythms for drawing near, you’ll be encouraged to:

• Name the fog that’s clouding your peace and perspective.
• Recognize the pull toward control when what you really need is communion.
• Anchor your heart in who God is, not just what He does.
• Choose praise as warfare when clarity is out of reach.
• Stay near to Jesus when the way forward feels uncertain.

If your heart feels unsettled, your prayers seem unanswered, or you’re simply weary from the not knowing, this conversation is for you. It’s a reminder that proximity to God—not clarity of the path—is what steadies you. The fog isn’t your enemy; it may be the very place God reshapes your vision and deepens your trust.
