When Your Path Leads to a Cliff

from Unleashed

What do you do when the path you're following suddenly ends at a cliff? In Episode 152 of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent Henderson shares two unforgettable lessons from the Colorado mountains—one involving a bear trail where God repeatedly redirected his steps, and another where a GPS route led him and his friend Roger toward the edge of a cliff as daylight faded around them. Both experiences revealed the same powerful truth: Just because a path seems right doesn't mean it's leading where you think. Fresh off speaking at his international church convention and teaching from his new book, The Big 5 Mankillers, Brent was struck by the number of people wrestling with the same question: How do I know if I'm on the right path? From women brought to tears during a session on purpose, to a man in his thirties who broke down because he didn't know what he was supposed to do with his life, one theme kept surfacing: Purpose. Direction. And the fear of getting it wrong. In this episode: • Two Colorado hunting stories with life-changing lessons • Insights from Brent's international church convention and The Big 5 Mankillers seminar • Why purpose is a human struggle, not just a men's issue • The danger of following a path that only seems right • What Proverbs 14:12 teaches about wisdom and direction • How to recognize your Father's voice and trust His leading • Why God usually gives us the next step instead of the whole map If you've ever felt stuck, confused, discouraged, or unsure of where life is headed, this episode will encourage you to trust God with the next step and follow the path that leads home. You'll also discover why so many people spend their lives focused on the things they could do and should do, while neglecting the things they must do in order to become the person God created them to be. Because real progress isn't made by doing everything—it's made by doing what matters most. Because sometimes the greatest danger isn't choosing the wrong destination. It's following the wrong trail.
