John unpacks Jeremiah 29:11 in its true context - not as a promise of an easy life, but as a reminder of God’s presence and faithfulness even in seasons of exile, waiting, and disappointment. Through the story of Israel in Babylon and the road to Emmaus, we explore how God is often doing His deepest work in the detours, forming us in the middle of the journey and inviting us not to escape difficult seasons, but to build faithfully within them.
