This week, Sarah shares reflections from aprayer walk up Mt Kaukau, woven with scripture and spiritual insight. As she walked and prayed for friends planting a church, the journey through bush, stairs, and lookout points became a metaphor for the spiritual path we each walk. From staying close to the living water, to trusting the custom-made steps ahead, this episode invites listeners to consider how God is guiding them in their current season. It’s a gentle, thoughtful encouragement to pause, reflect, and walk with purpose—keeping eyes up and hearts open.

Reflection Questions:

• Are there areas in your life where you feel tempted to turn to the left or right instead of staying on the path God has marked out for you?

• What helps you stay focused on the path God has set before you?

• What might be blocking the flow of “living water” in your life right now?

• How can you stay close to the source of life even when the path leads away from it?

• What “step” is God inviting you to take in this season?

• Does it feel like a steep step? What encouragement can you draw from knowing others have gone before?

• Are you journeying with others or trying to go it alone?

• How might slowing down to walk with others enrich your spiritual journey?

• Are you currently in a season of shade or sun? How does that feel?

• What might God be doing in this part of your journey?

• What does it look like to be a good guardian of the spiritual ecosystem you’re part of?

• Are there ways you can nurture rather than dominate the space you’re in?

• What markers has God placed in your journey recently?

• Who can you honour that has gone before you in faith?

• Is there a “top” you might be missing without realising?

• What might God be inviting you to explore further?

• What recent “exercise” or step of faith has shown you how you’re growing?

• What’s going well in your spiritual walk, and what might need attention?
