Do I need to know God’s whole plan before I take the next step?

Bekah Holmes says no. God told Abraham to go to “the land I will show you” without naming a destination, and Hebrews 11 says he went even though he did not know where he was going. She calls it a myth that faith means knowing the path first; Hebrews 11:1 describes faith as confidence in what we cannot see.

What’s the difference between clarity and peace when making a decision?

Bekah says God may ask us to step out without complete clarity, but we should have peace that the step is from him. She isn’t encouraging rash decisions; she suggests Abraham was probably nervous but also had peace, because God is the Prince of Peace and speaks through peace.

What if I take a step and it doesn’t work out the way I hoped?

Bekah says a step can be part of the path rather than the destination. She quotes a line she heard at a leadership conference, “the thing will lead you to the thing,” to make the point that a step that doesn’t go as planned may still be leading somewhere, which takes some of the pressure off getting every decision exactly right.

Why would God choose someone like Abraham?

Bekah points out that Abraham came from a family of idol worshippers (Joshua 24:2), and that his father started toward Canaan but fell short of getting there. She says where you came from matters because God wants to use your story, whatever it is, as a testimony to his power, and Abraham went on to become the “father of our faith.”
