But if you trust the little by little, God will get us to the promise that he has already prepared

for us because no good thing does he withhold. That's not fatalism. That is a sovereign God

who leads perfectly and the plans he has for us are to prosper us, not to harm us. Does that

mean we won't get skin knees along the way?

No.

Actually, the skin knees are part of the story because that makes you appreciate the fact that, you know,

we're being led by a perfect, holy God who's already written the story.

Hey, hey, back porches. My name is Allison Allen. I'm the 5'12 spiritual wingwoman to Lisa Harper for Back porch theology.

And we're so glad that you're back. If you're new, welcome to the porch. If you've been hanging out with us for three years, doubly welcome to the porch, if I can say it that way. We've been really having an amazing time. Oh, it's been awesome. Right. Hiking through the whole word of God, right? And not a wasted word, no wasted words. We're going to hang out in Exodus one more time. Okay. I love, I can't believe we're trying to do Exodus in two weeks. I know. It's ridiculous. I could do Exodus for a year. Yeah. And I've been thinking about the book and the way that we went through it initially. It's sort of like we took one hiking trail, right? A little sort of a more high line view. Right. And I want to take a different trail today. One of the things I was thinking about, do you remember years ago, Lisa, when you and I went hiking at Radner Lake? Do you have,

do you recall this at all? Kind of. Okay. Let me just say to y'all, let me just come right back

over here to camera for a moment. Hike would be a very generous way. This is exactly my point. For me,

it was a hike. For her, it was a lolly gag. It was a stroll. It was a stroll, right? And so

you're fun to hike with, but you know what, you got to keep up. The pace, you got to pick up the pace.

And so there were some trails that you wanted us to take.

And I was like, can we just stay right here in the flatlands? In the parking lot. In the flatlands. You've got a funny story that you told me in the last couple of weeks about a hike and a trail. On the abolition trail. Yeah. And a leader. Would you just share that? Because it's such a perfect Yeah, and I love strolling with you.

Yes.

I would rather stroll with you than hike with someone else.

Dido. share that because it's such a perfect intrepair. And I love strolling with you. Yes. I would rather

stroll with you than hike with someone else. Ditto, ditto. Especially if we bring snacks. Right.

Yeah, it was my 50th birthday and a group of really close girlfriends. We decided to hike 50 miles

on the Appalachian Trail to commemorate my 50th birthday.
